Absolutely this isn’t one of the most acclaimed styles of poker but still commonly played. It can be enjoyed by up to 7 players. It’s played with one deck of 52 cards, including a joker.

Astonishingly, five aces beats all other hand including royal flush. Each gambler is dealt seven cards. These cards are arranged to create two hands; a 2 card hand and a five card hand. The five card hand must rank higher or be equal to the 2 card hand.
After arranging the two hands, the cards are laid on the table with the faces down. Once on the table, you are no longer allowed to touch them.

Now if there is a draw, the croupier wins all. Once the hand is played, the next player clock-wise gets to be the dealer and the next hand is given out.
