This member of the Spit-in-the-Ocean family is the same game as Cincinnati except that the five cards to be exposed in the widow are not dealt as an extra hand but are turned up, one by one, from the top of the deck. Five cards are dealt face down to each player. Five more cards are dealt face up to the widow, with a betting round after each one. In the showdown, each player may select any five cards from among his hand and the five cards in the widow. With ten cards to choose from, it usually takes a flush or full house to win. Remember, though, that strong cards in the widow are shared by everyone.
