A pre-flop betting round will take place as usual
Deal the 3-card Flop. Again, a normal betting round takes place
Now, before dealing the Turn card, all active players must discard 1 card
Deal the Turn card, a betting round takes place
Once again, before dealing the River card, all active players must discard 1 card
