| Is there a consensus on breaking a tie in holdem' On WSOP it seems to be 5 cards only, but at P-Room it appears they look at the 6th card to break a tie. What gives? | ||

| A 6th card never comes into play as a tiebreaker in ring or tourney games, period. If there's a poker room out there doing this they're doing it wrong. The extra chip from a split pot (which is what I assume you're referring to when you say tiebreaker) typically goes to the player closer to the button, and in some cases I've seen it go to the higher ranked suit.

I am not familiar with "P-Room" - and its entirely possible they have created a game based on THE where a sixth card would break a tie - but it isn't the accepted form of the game... | ||
