A player confronted by a bet larger than the player's stack of chips may call "all in" and place the chips into the pot as a call. The excess part of the bet is either returned to the bettor or used to form a side pot with another player or players by matching the amount called. There is no limit on the number of side pots. Play must continue and the player who is "all in" must receive cards as other active players. The remaining players must place their bets into the side pot or pots. At the showdown, if the player who is "all in" has the high hand, the player wins the pot. The player with the second highest hand wins the side pot. If the player who is "all in" does not have the highest hand, the player with the highest hand wins both pots.
In a high-low game, a similar procedure must be used to award the pots to the highest and lowest hand.
A player who is "all in" and loses must leave the game or buy more chips.
