In a high-low split game, a player could always win the entire pot, or scoop, by having both the highest and lowest poker hand, such as with a Five-high straight flush (remember, straights and flushes don’t count against you when you’re going for low).

But what would happen if a player had the highest possible poker hand and two players tied for the lowest poker hand? Rather than split the pot into thirds, the high hand wins half of the pot, and the two players tied for the low would each win one quarter of the pot.
