We just talked about how Z is played as a high low eight game. That means that the high hand and the low hand can take each half of the pot. It is possible to have both the best high hand and the best low hand if you can pull that off you do what is called scooping. You're going to take the whole pot you're going to scoop the pot, let's show an example of that. Here this player his best hand is a set of nines but unfortunately his opponent has a flush king of spades, three of spades and deuce of spades from his down cards then there's two of spades on the board. Then he also has the best low hand I'm trading out this eight for the king so instead of half of the pot he scoops the whole pot.
