Why not just split the pot? So only what the "broke" player puts in is all he can win from the other players? I'm never playing a game that allows "IOU's".

Had a similar but different situation years ago. Playing Acey Duecy, if not familiar with this game you put down 2 cards and bet that the next card falls between the 2 cards, you can bet upto whats in the middle, if it falls in between you win what you bet, if it falls outside then you owe the amount you bet and if the card matches one of the other cards you owe double your bet. Usually if you get A-2 you bet pot because its likely to fall between but your screwed if it matches. Anyway player get K-2 so only a matched card or Ace would screw him he does not have enough to cover if he bets pot and loses, but he turns to a buddy and says "can you cover me if I lose?" his buddy says yes. He bets pot and wins the $800+ pot. There was some discussion afterward if he should be allowed to bet if he can't cover, I said as long as someone covers  I could care less.

Bottom line never allow IOU'S
