PokerStars on FanDuel restores Run It Twice to US and Canadian cash games
Business1 min read
PokerStars on FanDuel has reportedly restored its Run It Twice option across cash-game tables in the US and Canada, including Alberta. The feature returned on 9 November after it disappeared during the platform's move to Playtech's iPoker network; both players must agree to use it, with no additional charge.
Cash-game players on PokerStars on FanDuel can again use Run It Twice in the US and Canada, including Alberta. The feature reached every cash-game table on the platform on 9 November, according to Poker Industry PRO. The feature vanished when the operator left its legacy software for a Playtech network.
Run It Twice allows the remaining community cards to be dealt twice when players are all-in, with the pot split between the resulting boards. Both players must agree to use it; otherwise, the hand continues with one board. There is no additional charge for the option. The feature can reduce swings in all-in situations without changing the odds or expected value of a hand.
Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are part of a shared player pool. Following its switch to Playtech software, the operator introduced information tools for cash-game and tournament players, including a tournament statistics HUD and estimated tournament duration.
The underlying platform supports All-In Cashout, which lets players accept a payment reflecting their equity in a hand instead of waiting for the remaining cards. The option usually carries an extra fee. The feature has not been introduced in the regulated US online poker market, including at PokerStars on FanDuel.
