Say you have four players left and their remaining stakes are as follows:
Player 1 $500
Player 2 $300
Player 3 $150
Player 4 $350
Player 1 goes "all in" and the remaining players call. You'd take the $150 of Player 3's all in from the remaining players and that would go into the main pot. Next you take the $150 left from player 2 and take that amount from the two other players. That would be your first side pot. Lastly take the remaining $50 from player 4 and take the same from player 1. That would be the second and final side pot. Correct?
The first decision is on the last side pot between players 1 and 4. Say player 1 beats player 4. Player 4 is out of the game for good and is not able to win any other remaining pots? Correct.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
