Run It Twice
Contents: Explanation, Usage, Features
Those who are relatively new to poker may not have heard of the classic card game feature known as Run It Twice. This is a fairly rare option in online casinos, but it’s quite popular in land-based casinos across Europe. As for virtual gambling rooms, this original and very practical feature for fans of thrilling gameplay is available with some modifications on the PokerMatch poker room website.
Run It Twice is unique because a second board is dealt, and the remaining community cards are used again. This gives each participant the chance to influence the round’s outcome by agreeing to split the pot across two boards. The entire prize pool is divided into two equal parts. Each part is awarded to the player who makes the highest-ranking hand. If one of your opponents beats you on the first board, you always have the chance to recover on the second. 
Example of Practical Use
Let’s consider a hypothetical situation:
- The first player has Ace and Seven of hearts;
- The second player has a pair of Kings;
- The board shows Ten and Nine of hearts, and Seven of clubs.
The first player goes "All In", and the opponent calls. Let’s look at two possible board outcomes:
- 10, 9, 4 (hearts), 7 (clubs), and 5 (spades);
- 7, J, K (clubs), 9, 10 (hearts).
In the first scenario, the win goes to the first player; in the second — to the second player. Each participant in the hand receives 50% of the pot.
