Six-plus hold 'em (also known 4️⃣ as short-deck hold 'em and Manila) is a community card poker game variant of Texas hold 'em, where the 2 4️⃣ through 5 cards are removed from the deck. Each player is dealt two cards face down and seeks to make 4️⃣ the best five card poker hand from any combination of the seven cards (five community cards and their own two 4️⃣ hole cards).[1]

† Flush ranks higher than full house. In theory, three-of-a-kind ranks higher than a straight as the probability of 4️⃣ achieving three-of-a-kind is lower than a straight in short-deck, however recent games have been ranking straight higher than three-of-a-kind which 4️⃣ has become standard.[3] Some variations of six-plus hold 'em plays with standard Texas hold 'em hand rankings. When calculating for 4️⃣ 5 card six-plus hold 'em where each player gets only 5 cards, straights rank higher than three-of-a-kind.

The 2024 Triton Poker 4️⃣ tournament series hosted the first televised six-plus hold 'em tournaments. The first Triton Super High Roller HK$250,000 short deck ante-only 4️⃣ event was won by Phil Ivey, earning him US$617,396.[4] The 2024 Triton tournaments ranked straights higher than three-of-a-kind.[5]

In 2024, Phil 4️⃣ Ivey and Tom Dwan promoted the game in an online video showing this variant of Texas hold 'em which is 4️⃣ frequently played in Macau, Hong Kong and Manila.[7][8]
