In 5 Card Draw there are 2 main betting rounds. The first betting round starts when all the players have received their 5 cards and a final round after the participants have discarded and received new cards. In virtually all cases the betting limits double after the draw. When everybody has had the chance to bet and raise, each participant that's still in the hand must reveal their best hand utilizing their five cards.
