side pot

All-in's leftover betting

A side pot is a secondary pot in poker created when one player is all-in but others continue betting.

The all-in player can only win the main pot; additional bets go into the side pot, which only the remaining active players can win.

Multiple side pots form when several players go all-in at different chip levels: He won the main pot but lost both side pots.
