If you have fewer than six cards in your library, the second pile will be smaller than the first. If you have fewer than four cards in your library, only the first pile will have cards in it at all, and the second pile will be empty. You may choose to turn the empty pile face up, but your opponent will probably choose to give you the empty pile regardless, unless they're feeling especially generous.
