poker showdown

Cards-up decisive moment

A poker showdown is the final phase of a hand when remaining players reveal their cards to determine the winner.

It occurs after all betting rounds are complete and at least two players remain.

The term extends figuratively to any decisive confrontation where opponents must finally show their hand: The contract negotiations are heading toward a showdown.
