What Happens if There Is a Draw in Poker?

A poker draw is when the final hand does not result in a winner or loser. This can happen when the community cards do not produce a winning hand for any player, or when all players have the same hand.

PRO TIP:When there is a draw in poker, all players that are still in the pot at the end of the hand split the pot. This means that each player will receive an equal share of the total amount in the pot. If two players are left in a hand and both have an identical hand (e.g. both have a flush or a full house with the same cards), then they must agree to split the pot or agree to play another hand to determine a winner.

In most games of poker, a draw is considered a dead hand, and the pot is simply split between the players who are still in the hand. However, some games do allow for hands to be drawn, in which case the pot is usually awarded to the player with the highest hand.

If there is a draw in poker, it usually means that the pot will be split between the players who are still in the hand.
