If the best 5 card hand of all players is on the table it's a split pot

What drew man said. You only make a hand with the best combination of 5 cards you can produce with the 2 cards in your hand and the five community cards. So you might end up using your 2 cards, one or none.

In any case of equality, the pot is split between players who have the equivalent best hand.

Example:

You have A 9

I have A 5

Community cards: A A J 10 2

We split the pot because we both have AAA + J & 10

Your 9 advantage over my 5 is cancelled by the higher kickers on the table

As we explained, it is a split pot (money split 3 ways in this case).

So everybody (or no one in particular) "wins".

This is a common question I get so I'll group some of them here and hopefully clear up the confusion. The rule that governs what hand beats what in poker is that the best five cards play. Holdem is a game of community cards and personal cards -- you get two personal cards and five community cards, of which you make the best five card hand. Because cards can be shared and suits don't matter (diamonds aren't better than hearts), then it is common to have hands where more than one player have the winner. Likewise, since the community cards can be the best cards possible, "chopping" the pot is possible that way too. (This scenario is called, "the board plays." The "board" is another name for the flop/community cards.)
