All-in and side pots

All-in puts your remaining stack into the hand. You can win the portions of opponents’ contributions matched by your own, but not chips bet beyond your eligibility.

With three or more players, additional matched wagers can form a side pot. An unmatched excess is returned rather than automatically awarded to the best hand.

Example: three players contribute 20, 50 and 50. The main pot is 60; the two larger contributors contest a separate 60-chip side pot. Folded contributions stay in pots, but folded hands cannot win.
