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 &quot;all in&quot; 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 &quot;all in&quot; 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 &quot;all in&quot; does not have the highest hand, the player with the highest hand wins both pots.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In a high-low game, a similar procedure must be used to award the pots to the highest and lowest hand.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A player who is &quot;all in&quot; and loses must leave the game or buy more chips.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 16 SDR 57, effective October 1, 1989.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-7">42-7B-7.</A></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-1">42-7B-1</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-2">42-7B-2</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-3">42-7B-3</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-4">42-7B-4</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-7">42-7B-7</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-14">42-7B-14</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=42-7B-15">42-7B-15.</A></p> </div> </body> </html>
