PokerStars, the world’s largest real money online poker room, is reportedly set to introduce “Run It Twice”, a popular feature of high stakes poker games.

(It) was popularized in televised shows like High Stakes Poker and Poker After Dark. The situation occurs when two players are all-in before the river. When both players agree, the rest of the board is dealt twice, and if each player wins one, then the pot is split. Its introduction reduces all-in variance.

The game was first introduced on the Merge Gaming Network and Carbon Poker in 2008 and later on Full Tilt Poker, which PokerStars is in the process of acquiring. 

“We actually expect a prototype on TestPokerStars to be available later in August for player testing (subject to changes),” wrote PokerStars Stephan, a Poker Room Manager for PokerStars, on forum 2+2 late last week.  “Based on stability of the feature it might be released soon to main clients or might stay on TestPokerStars only for a longer period of time.”
