The showdown occurs at the end of each hand. ... As exposing one's cards gives players at the table information, you will often see the annoying dance of two players waiting for the other one to flip over his cards at showdown. So that this doesn't happen, poker rules state that the last player to make an "aggressive" move, meaning the last player to open the betting or to raise, must show first. 3, record 1, English, - showdown
