Hi jeep777

4 players in the hand, 3 players all-in with a different amount and the 4th player with the same amount as the highest bet. Than you get side pot(s). A player can never win more from another player than his own amount of chips in the pot.

The winner, with AA, won the hand, he was all in with 9730 chips, you had 10 10 and you was all in with 4761 chips, the winner with AA won all your chips, and the chips of all others with a max of 9730… The other player with 10 10 had 11.736 in the pot, the player with AA won 9730 of that amount and the rest went into the side pot. Same with kydrifer with his 11.736 chips, 9730 went to the winner and the rest in the side pot. The site pot was won by housepainter with the 2nd best hand 10 10.

You had no chips in the sidepot, that is why he won the rest (side pot) with 10 10.

Hope this helps. Greetings Happiness.
