Side Pot
边池
Side pots occur when one player is all-in for less than another player. The all-in player competes only for the main pot while other players compete for both the main and side pots. This allows players with remaining chips to continue betting.
Example
Player A has 50bb all-in, Player B has 100bb and continues. A side pot of 50bb is created.
