Stay in the Original Pot or Just Have to Fold Out of Both Pots?

Let’s say in a certain game, there is player 1, then player 2 and player 3. Player 1 goes all in with $50 on the fourth card before the 5th card is turned. Then there is player 2 who calls, followed by player 2 who also does the same thing. Eventually, the 5th card is turned, then player 2 checks, and player 3 goes all in on a side bet to player 2.

In case player 2 declines, will he stay in the original pot or just have to fold out of both pots instead? What do you think?

Thanks!

Antoine,

If player 2 folds, they forfeit their rights to the main pot. A side pot is a continuation of the original hand. It is only considered a separate set of betting.
