A poker hand containing five cards of the same suit but not in sequence is called a flush.
In Texas holdāem, the turn and the river are the final two community cards dealt faceup on the table, each followed by a round of betting.1
- The Turn: Also known as "fourth street," this is the fourth community card dealt after the dealer burns one card from the deck.1
- The River: Also known as "fifth street," this is the fifth and final community card dealt after another card is burned.1
Following the dealing of the river, a final round of betting occurs before the remaining players reveal their hands to determine the winner.1
