Ignore all straight and flush issues when evaluating a low hand. A pair of aces is lower than a pair of deuces. Some games allow one player to win half the pot for having the best high hand and another player to win the other half of the pot for having the best low hand. These are called high-low games. After what would normally be the final betting round were the game merely straight high or straight low, each player declares which half of the pot the player seeks.
Players now bring one fist over the table and simultaneously reveal the number of chips in the fist.
One final betting round occurs after the declare. If after the declare only two players remain, neither pigged, and they are not contesting a half of the pot, the hand is over and the two simply split the pot. An ace is one higher that a king in high hands and one lower than a deuce in low hands. If there is an uneven amount of money in the full pot making it impossible to equally split it in half, the extra amount goes to the player who won the high half. If there is an uneven amount of money one half of the pot that must be split between two or more players, the extra amount is returned to the center of the table and will be won during the next game.
