If a player goes "all in", the maximum amount they can extract from any opponent who calls the bet cannot exceed the amount that player goes in with, but is exactly equal to the bet.

SoundPoker Says: For example, in no limit hold'em game Player A went "all in" with $100, and Player B had $200 and called the bet. Then the most Player B could lose to that player is $100. Now let say Player C went all in with $300 to make it three way action. This means Player A is all in for $100, Player B is all in for $200, and Player C is all in for $300. If Player B wins they win all of Player A's money and $200 of Player C's money.
