Chop

Splitting a pot between tied hands, or agreeing to divide remaining prizes.

In depth

In poker, a "chop" occurs when players with equally ranked hands split the pot at showdown. Additionally, in tournaments, remaining players may agree to chop the prize pool, distributing it based on chip stacks or mutual agreement rather than playing to a single winner.

Chinese: 平分 (Chop)
