Re: Clarification of Hold\'em rules for split pairs
[ QUOTE ]
Hi,
I'm a bit confused on the rules of hold'em when there is a showdown with two players who both have the same split pair. Here is an example
player 1
A6
Player 2
A9
Board:
A X X X X
I've played a game where the outcome was a split pot rather than the A9 winning even though both players only had a split pair of aces. Can someone explain this please.

If 3 of you Xs are higher than a 9 and the other X is neither a 9 nor a 6, each player has AA and the 3 Xs which were higher than a 9.
