Seven-Card Stud High-Low is a split pot game, with half of the pot going to the best high hand, and the other half going to a qualifying low hand. In order for a low hand to qualify, it must consist of five unpaired cards of eight or lower. Aces act as both high and low cards, with the best low hand being 5-4-3-2-A (straights and flushes do not affect a low hand).
Each player receives two hole cards, followed by four cards face up and a final hole card in Seven-Card Stud. Players use five of those seven cards to make their best five-card hand. Players may use different cards to make their best high and low hands.
