How Does a Poker Game End?

In poker, the game ends when all players have either folded or put all of their chips in the pot. The player with the best hand at the end of the game wins.

If two or more players have the same hand, the pot is split evenly between them. In some cases, there may be a tie for the best hand.

PRO TIP:When playing poker, the game can end in one of four ways: 1) All remaining players agree to show their hands and the best hand wins; 2) All remaining players decide to fold and the pot is awarded to the last remaining player; 3) The last remaining player declares “all in”, meaning they are betting all their chips; 4) A player runs out of chips, forcing them to forfeit the hand.

In this case, the pot is split evenly between all players with the same hand.

The game can also end if all players but one have folded. In this case, the remaining player wins the pot.
