One, you are probably asking this because if everyone stays in until the River, then the deck will run out (8 x 7=56). Well, if this happens (which is pretty rare in real money games), then on the river, one card is placed in the middle as a community card, meaning everyone gets to use it. Thus, you won't run out.
