How to divide a pot

#1 18th February 2006, 12:35 AM

We are really begginers at poker me and my friends, so if anyone can help me sort the following situation out i'd really appreciate it...three players; A goes on a 10 buck all in before the flop, B and C call it, flop's on the table checks all around and after the turn B goes on a 30 buck all in which C calls...of course there's a differentiated pot for B and C, then there's the river....cards are shown and A wins with a full house, B has a straight and C has three 10's. A wins the first pot where everyone matched his 10 buck all in...my question is what happens with the other pot with B's 30 buck all in that C called, is it divided between B and C or does B get it for having a better hand than C although the best hand of the table was A's?
Thank you very much

B (the best hand) gets it. Players in sidepots still showdown with standard rules applying.

A wins the main pot $30. B wins the side pot. Pot - $30.
