Professional poker player Rob Kuhn X (formerly on Twitter) posted a video showing how the feature works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">HOLY SHIT<br><br>You can now pay 3 big blinds to see peoples card on CLUBWPT <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mdA750YlH0\">pic.twitter.com\/mdA750YlH0-<\/a><\/p> Rob Kuhn (@RobKuhn_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RobKuhn_\/status\/1956051911486112038?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 14, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>When the hand is over, players will see a button on the top left of the table that allows them to reveal the combinations of the cards they have discarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site will show all discarded card combinations for three big blinds. Let's say the big blind is $5 (SC 5 sweeps in coins). Then the cost of revealing the discarded card combinations is $15. For the largest bets on the site, the price drops slightly to two big blinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Berkey immediately spoke out against this decision:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It's really unhealthy. It's not healthy to have a stupid fee as long as it goes to the players &#8211; it happens all the time in live games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But a site that sells players' data during the game, on top of that, is already a big rake&#8230; Please do better.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Various_reactions_from_the_poker_world\"><\/span>Various reactions from the poker world<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many professionals agreed with Berkey that the feature is an annoyance, but some said it could help protect the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poker player Hayley Hanna said it might even reduce people's desire to cheat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I don't think the negative repercussions will outweigh the gains. A lot of players will still pay for it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ClubWPT Gold has published a video with Garrett Adelstein jokingly alluding to the famous jack-four controversy to promote the new feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Never lose sleep over a poker hand again \ud83d\udc40 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/B9YZWbBS6T\">pic.twitter.com\/B9YZWbBS6T-<\/a><\/p> ClubWPT Gold (@ClubWPTGold) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClubWPTGold\/status\/1956073105866027186?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 14, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ClubWPT_Gold_controversial_story\"><\/span>ClubWPT Gold controversial story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The site received a lot of attention when two players were banned from the WSOP during the 2025 WSOP series after receiving a $1 million prize. However, ClubWPT Gold performed well last winter when it hosted a $5 million freeroll tournament at the Wynn Las Vegas during the WPT World Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will have to wait and see whether the new online poker feature will be retained or removed after the initial negative reaction. But one thing is clear: ClubWPT Gold gets people talking about poker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How this feature works Online poker sites usually only show&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":541,"featured_media":1108623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[191,1655,1657,12,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1108612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-naujienos","category-news","category-poker-news","category-pokerio-naujienos","category-uncategorized-lt"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1108612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/541"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1108612"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1108612\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1108689,"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1108612\/revisions\/1108689"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1108623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1108612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1108612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pokeriomokykla.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1108612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
