Could you explain please this hand?
https://www.replaypoker.com/hand/replay/344051253
One player has AA (one pair) and the other has two pair (KK and JJ). Why one AA beat (or getting a share from the pot) while the other player with two pair not?
Is there anywhere a rule I can read about the split rules? Sometimes I am getting confused.

AQ of Diamonds wins the hand with a flush taking out the player with 2 pair KK JJ … AA wins the Sidepot because his all in hand had more chips than the flush hand. Hope this helps , not great at explaining things. Maybe someone else can explain better.

Dealer: smooth99 wins 2,940 chips with Pair, Aces (Side Pot 1)
Dealer: whoeverit wins 10,385 chips with Flush, Ace High (Main Pot)
Smooth99 had the most chips in and won the side pot while whoeverit covered the remaining other players and won the main pot.
Its like this… if you have 2k, and I have 3k… and we’re both all in, you can only win 2k of my chipstack… while that is easiest to understand with just 2 ppl, the same principle is why 1 person won the side pot, while the other won the main pot…
try this also…
player A - 500
player B - 1000
player C - 2000
player D - 5000
Lets assume all players end up all in…
Player A can only take 500 from the other 3 ppl , or max pot they can win is 2k.
Player B can win 1000 from 2 ppl, 500 from the 3rd, and his 1000 … or a total pot of 3500, but thats 1500 more than the “main” which Player A can win… so the 1st sidepot is 1500.
Player C then can win 500+1000+2000+2000 or 5500, so a 2nd sidepot of 2000 is created…
Player D has everyone covered…
3 pots exsist… the main, 1st sidepot, & 2nd sidepot…
Main = 2000, 1st sidepot = 1500 , 2nd sidepot = 2000
Player C & D can wil all 3 pots
Player B can only win the main + 1st sidepot
player A can only win the main…
Does that sum it up enuff hrefa ???

The winner of the pot was the flush - because they had unequal chips in they split between the winner (flush). That wiped out the player with 2 pair. The AA hand won the balance because s/he put in more chips than the winner. (I think)
