Winner is player with best hand which means best set o 5 cards. In your example both players have 45678 as their hand so game is drawn and pot is splited.

  • The question only involves two players. Your use of terminology is poor, with the likely result of confusing people new to poker. – Nij Dec 26 '16 at 23:25
  • what difference does it make what the other six players had if they could not beat K A or K Q hole cards ? – Dave Jones Dec 28 '16 at 02:11

    Cards beyond the five card best hand do not matter. In the case where the 5 cards on the board are the best hand, all players who haven't folded split the pot. – MAP Jan 04 '17 at 05:04
