ABSTRACT:
A card playing surface is provided including double common card placement areas. For each player the surface includes a first hand stacking area and a combined hand stacking area and first, second and third wagering token placement areas. A method of playing cards includes the steps of each player placing a first wager of any amount with wagering tokens onto the first wager placement area and placing a second wager of a fixed amount with tokens onto the second wager placement area. The dealer deals five cards face down onto the first hand stacking area for each player, and two common cards face down onto the double common card placement areas. Each player examines his or her cards and chooses whether to additionally enter a second phase where the five card hands of entering players are combined with the two common cards to form seven card hands. Each player expresses this choice by either leaving the five cards in the first hand stacking area to play the first phase only or moving the five cards to the combined hand stacking area to additionally enter the second phase. Second phase players place another wager equal to the fixed seven card wager by placing tokens onto the third wager placement area. All players compare their five card hands with predetermined hand rankings to determine whether and how much the house pays each. The second phase players compare their seven card combined hands to determine who has the highest hand and thus wins.
