The question only involves two players. Your use of terminology is poor, with the likely result of confusing people new to poker.– NijDec 26, 2016 at 23:25

1Cards beyond the five card best hand do not matter. In the case where the 5 cards on the board are the best hand, all players who haven't folded split the pot.– MAPJan 4, 2017 at 5:04
