As seen in “High stakes Poker”, will be offered in all
our stakes from Friday 28 August. The Run it Twice applies only when players
are all-in.
PROCEDURES
To run it twice, certain conditions must apply:
- It does not apply in tournaments
- Only two players can be in the pot with live hands
- One of the players must be all-in and the other player
has matched the bet
- Both players must agree to run it twice
- The river card must not have yet been dealt
If a player wants to run it twice, they generally must
stop the dealer from dealing any more cards while they negotiate with
the other player and try to get them to agree to run it twice. If not stopped,
a dealer will generally continue dealing the rest of the community cards.
Once both players have agreed and the dealer understands
the agreement, the deal continues as follows:
The
dealer deals the remaining cards to the board as normal, burning a
card before each upcard, same as usual.
The dealer then slides these recently dealt cards
upwards, leaving the previously-dealt cards in place.
The dealer then deals another set of finishing
board cards (either the turn and river, or just the river, if the turn was
already on the board before the agreement to run it twice was made), once again also burning a
card before each upcard.
If one player has won both of the hands (that
is, if one player has the best hand regardless of which of the two sets of
board cards is used), they are awarded the entire pot, just as they would have
been if they had not run it twice.
If, however, one player has the best hand using one set
of board cards and the other player has the best hand when using the
other set of board cards, the pot is split in half and half is awarded to each
of the two players.
