This week’s term is side pot. Quite simply, a side pot is a pot that is separate from the main pot that is created when a player goes all-in. Thus, the pot to which the all-in player(s) contributed is the main pot. This can get tricky when there are multiple all-in players and multiple side pots are created. It is important to realize that any all-in player is only eligible to win a pot to which s/he has contributed chips.
