Chop
A chop essentially means to split the pot. It can be used in two situations:
1. If everyone folds to the blinds, the blinds may elect to have the blind money returned to them and proceed to the next hand.
2. A chop can refer to just splitting the pot between the players. Either the players hands are tied or the players agree to simply split the pot in half instead of seeing whose hand wins (this occurs rarely and only if the pot is very large and the players hands are of almost equivalent value).
