Step 8Showdown!
The Showdown
If more than one player remains after the last betting round, the remaining players expose and compare their hands to determine the winner (or winners). This is called the "Showdown".
A showdown can involve anywhere from two players to the entire table, depending on how many players stayed in the game up to this point. All players still in the hand show their cards, starting with the last person to bet. Once this player shows their cards, all other players in the showdown may muck their hand, essentially conceding the pot. By mucking the player is admitting that they have been beat without having to show their cards.
Tie
If two (or more) players tie a hand, they "chop (split) the pot" evenly among those players. The same holds true if the board has the five highest cards (best hand), the pot is chopped.
