Can't Beat the Board

Texas Holdem FAQ

Hello,

Say on the board were A 6 6 7 7. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any hope for a flush. Then two players were in the hand and several bets have appeared. Player A checked and so as player B.
Later, player A threw in his cards while player B turned over king, queen.

Now, I’m wondering should it be a split pot as player B cannot beat the board? Also, if player A can’t beat the board, is he still oblige to show his cards?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you!

Charles,

If player A and player B showed their hands and both have to play the board, then it is a split pot. If player B showed his hand and player A mucked his hand, then player B is awarded the pot. In the event that both players play the board, both players must show their hold cards in order to receive their portion of the pot.
