Questions regarding seven card games

Basically, if it's a stud game there'll be a single community card dealt face up on the river. The above post has a screenshot of it happening.

It's impossible to run out of cards in an Omaha game unless you're playing more than 11 players to a table. 11 players would require 44 down cards, 5 up cards and 3 burn cards for a total of all 52 cards in the deck.

In draw games, folded hands and / or discarded cards may be reshuffled and dealt again if the deck runs out (though there was some controversy over whether discarded cards should be used at this year's WSOP.

thanks for that post, cleared things up a lot, funny seeing how that only happened when everyone intentionally stayed in the hand.

Actually this only happens with very small pots because if anyone bets, someone is liable to fold. Therefore it is only when you have checks all around that you get dealt a river. I've only had it happen once at a low stakes table.
