Showdown

In poker, after the last betting round, the players who remain in the pot must show their hands in the showdown to determine the winner.
In poker, a "showdown" is the final stage of a hand where players reveal their hole cards to determine the winner after all betting rounds have been completed. This typically occurs after the last round of betting, and all players who have not folded must show their cards. The player with the best hand, according to the specific rules of the poker variant being played, wins the pot. If two or more players have the same hand, the pot may be split among them. The showdown is crucial as it determines the outcome of the hand and can significantly influence a player's strategy in future hands.
