Ok I seen this happen before thought my eyes were playing. Is this even correct? How did the lowest pair win over the highest pair of Queens? And not the Pair of Jacks win? Makes no sense at all. Is this a bug?
GingerNinja won $28,168,732 with [8♣, 9♦] (Pair of Nines) [9♣, 2♠, J♦, 7♥, 3♣] DangerousJD reveals [8♠, J♠] (Pair of Jacks) zxzxzxzxzx won $8,594,082 with [Q♠, Q♥] (Pair of Queens) [9♣, 2♠, J♦, 7♥, 3♣]
zxzxzxzxzx won the "main" pot only, because they had the least amount of money. GingerNinja won the side pot because they had the 2nd best hand but had more money invested in the pot.
You must have had less than or the same amount of money as zxzxzxzxzx in the pot.
zxzxzxzxzx can only win the amount of money they put in the pot, multiplied by the number of people who call that amount. Anything on top goes into a side pot, accessed by the players that put more in.
I never knew about a side pot, I have only seen a lower hand win 2 times now, with all the hands that I have played, I thought it was a bug. Even when everyone goes all in at the beginning of the game before cards in the flop are shown, the winner has won all the money in the pot even with people betting higher than the winner. I understand what you are saying. But doesn't make sense why there is 2 pots lol.
$30,000,000 is in the middle of the table, but some players start with different amounts.
Players B and C (starting with $5,000,000) can win up $5,000,000 from every other player if they win the hand, so the main pot is $20,000,000 ($5,000,000 x 4 players)
Players A and D (starting with $10,000,000) can win up to $10,000,000 from every other player if they win the hand. $5,000,000 from their stack goes into the main pot ($20,000,000 total), and the remaining $5,000,000 goes into a side pot. Only Players A and D can win this money, since they started with more than the $5,000,000 that went into the main pot.
Additional side pots can be created if more players start with even more different amounts of money.
The best hand will win the main pot, and the best hand (out of the players who are allowed to win the side pot) will win the side pot. This is why you'll see text that looks like a worse hand is winning more money sometimes.
Thank you Proxima for your knowledge and taking the time to explain it!! I appreciate it! I have played for a while and never really knew about side pots, because I never seen the lowest win till lately lol. So it had me asking if it was a bug or what.
