If it's a cash NLHE game, they got it AI PF and decided to run it twice.Could someone explain to me what is happening here, I do not understand why they throw 10 cards on the table ???
My guess it is a cash game and they ran it twice.
In a cash game in an all in situation the two players could agree to run it more than once to reduce variance.
Both runs count. Negreanu wins the whole pot. If Esfandiari had won one run, they would have split the pot, if they had run it three times and someone had won two out of three, they get two thirds of the pot, etc, etc.I get it. You take the best of both runs or just take one ???
Does that mean that Esfandiari has to pay double?Both runs count. Negreanu wins the whole pot. If Esfandiari had won one run, they would have split the pot, if they had run it three times and someone had won two out of three, they get two thirds of the pot, etc, etc.
No, he only has to pay what he put in the pot.Does that mean that Esfandiari has to pay double?

The pot is split in half and each run is separate.
So in the above 108K was the total pot.
First run would be the Q 10 K 2 6 the winner of that pot will get 54K.
Second run would be the 5 9 4 5 Q the winner of that pot will get 54K.
You can run it twice not only preflop but on flop and turn as well. You can also run it more than twice too. Pokerstars has this feature on cash games not sure about other sites.
Best way to explain sometimes is by example take a look at this video it is funny as hell but should illustrate it.
