In poker games, such as Texas Hold’em and Omaha, the showdown is the last phase of the game, during which the winner of the pot is decided. During this process, all active players reveal their cards and the player with the best hand is chosen to be the winner. The showdown takes place if there is more than one active player remaining after the last betting round (the river).
If some of the players have gone all-in and only compete for the main pot, the gamblers playing for the side pot reveal their cards first.
