A second up card is dealt to all active players. This is followed by a round of betting at the small bet limit. Action starts with the lowest hand showing.
A third up card is dealt to all active players. This is followed by a round of betting at the big bet limit.
A fourth up card is dealt to all active players. This is followed by a round of betting at the big bet limit.

Evaluating the Showdown
The best five-card Action Razz hand and the best (ace-to-four) Badugi hand split the pot. A face card is not required to win the Badugi hand. There is no qualifier for either the Action Razz or Badugi hand. (Neither a "face" Action Razz hand, nor a 4-card Badugi hand, are required.)
