The new variant appears be based on the split pot game Double Flop Hold’em, which could be the first time the game will be spread online.
PokerStars is readying to launch a poker variant dubbed Split Hold’em, according to new graphics files distributed across its global online poker client last week.
No details on Split Hold’em have been revealed. However, based on its branding and a reconstruction of the new poker table by PRO using the image assets in the client, it may be that Split Hold’em is inspired by, if not entirely based on, a common home game novelty known as Double Flop Hold’em.
