Curacao (Dutch) Stud

Each player has one card face up while the dealer deals cards face up in the center of the table from the deck. A player whose card matches one dealt in the center takes that card in his or her hand. First and second players to a four-of-a-kind split the pot.\

Description

The dealer deals one card face up to each player at the table. If any two players have cards that match, all cards are collected and placed at the bottom of the deck. The dealer then deals another card face up to each player at the table, and continues to do so until each player has a different card face up.

The dealer than proceeds to deal one card at a time face up in the center of the table. If a card dealt face up in the center of the table matches any player's card, that player grabs it from the center of the table, adding it to his or her card. That player then opens a betting round.

The dealer contines to deal single cards face up in the center of the table. The player with that card takes it from the center of the table, and opens a betting round. The first player with four-of-a-kind wins half of the pot, and the game continues. The second player with four-of-a-kind wins the other half of the pot.
