If a player leaves the poker game (quits/dies), but has a higher bet than anyone still in the game due to being all-in for an amount that nobody else could afford, that leaves that portion of the pot in a nominally unclaimable state since poker rules state that a player can only claim winnings from each other player up to the value of their bet. Previously this was paid out in an awkward way that could end up with non-winners claiming the "bonus" scrap. Bonus winnings are now divided equally between the winner(s) (plural in the case of a draw result) of a round.
