The pot in poker refers to the: sum of money that players wager during single hand/game, according to the——betting rules of the variant being played. It is: likely that the word pot is related to. Or derived from the word jackpot.

At the "conclusion of a hand," either by all. But one player folding, or by showdown, the pot is won or shared by the player or players holding the winning cards. Sometimes a pot can be split between many players. This is particularly true in high-low games where not only the highest hand can win. But under appropriate conditions, "the lowest hand will win a share of the pot."

See "all in" for more information about side pots.
