Detailed explanation-1: -King Claudius has bet six fine horses, six fine French swords, and three beautiful carriages, on the odds that Laertes wouldn’t get more than three hits in over Hamlet in a fencing match. The only other little detail is that the duel has to happen right now. Hamlet, ever the fatalist, agrees.
Detailed explanation-2: -Whilst at sea, Hamlet sentenced Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to death. The King arranges a fencing match between Hamlet and Laertes. During the bout, Laertes scratches Hamlet with a poisoned sword and is in turn fatally wounded with it; Gertrude drinks from a poisoned cup, prepared by the King for Hamlet.
Detailed explanation-3: -Before they duel, Hamlet takes the opportunity to apologize to Laertes for his insane behavior, but Laertes wants to go through with the fight no matter what because his reputation is on the line. Laertes selects the poisoned and sharpened rapier, and the two go at it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Claudius adds yet another safeguard: He will poison a goblet of wine for Hamlet to drink, so that even if Laertes fails to draw blood, Hamlet will die.
