Betting continues in a clockwise direction.
Show or Side Show:
After the first round of betting, a player may choose to "show" their cards if they believe they have the best hand.
If a player doesn't want to show, they can request a "side show" from the previous bettor. The previous bettor can accept or refuse.
If the side show is accepted, both players reveal their cards, and the player with the lower-ranking hand must fold.

Players reveal their cards, and the player with the best hand wins the pot.
