1. Refers to the hand, or person, that wins both ways in a high-low pot.
2. Can also refer to the act of declaring both ways in a high-low split pot.
SoundPoker Says: A sweeper scoops the pot by having a hand that wins both ways. For example, a player has been dealt the As and 2s, and the community cards are 3s-4s-5s. Their straight flush will (most likely) take the high hand, and because neither straights nor flushes count in the low hand ranking, and they’ve got the best possible low hand so they will take both the high and low portions of the pot. This means that they are the sweeper, and the hand they hold A-2-3-4-5 spades, the ultimate sweeper hand.
