<P> Sometimes it is necessary to further split a half pot into quarters , or even smaller portions . This is especially common in community card high - low split games such as Omaha hold'em , where one player has the high hand and two or more players have tied low hands . Unfortunate players receiving such a fractional pot call it being quartered . When this happens , an exception to the odd chip rules above can be made : if the high hand wins its half of the pot alone , and the low half is going to be quartered , the odd chip ( if any ) from the first split should be placed in the low half , rather than being awarded to the high hand . </P>
