Full explanation

A split pot divides the pot between two or more players with equal-best hands.

Explanation. In games like Omaha Hi‑Lo or Stud Hi‑Lo, when two players qualify for the same portion (high or low) or one takes high and another low, the pot is split accordingly. The term describes literally dividing it. It’s important to know split-pot outcomes to understand equity, scoop potential, and strategic decisions in mixed-game formats.
