The pot is the pile of chips that accumulates as each Player antes, bets and raises. All winnings are paid from the pot. The value of the pot varies. It is dependent on the stakes involved and the amount the Players bet. The pot goes to the winner of the hand in each game.
Note: The House takes a small percentage of the pot. This is known as the rake. If two or more Players have the same winning hand, they split the pot equally.
