description Split Hold'em Overview
Split Hold'em is a community-card poker variant based on Texas Hold'em. Players receive the usual two hole cards, but two separate five-card boards are dealt simultaneously, each consisting of a flop, turn, and river. At showdown, each board is worth half the pot, so a player who wins both boards can scoop the entire pot. The format has been offered by PokerStars.

Split Hold'em deals two separate five-card boards, and each board is worth half of the pot. A player can therefore win one half, both halves, or neither half at showdown.
How many hole cards does each player receive in Split Hold'em?
Players receive the usual two hole cards from Texas Hold'em. The difference is that two boards are dealt, with each board receiving its own flop, turn, and river.
How many community cards are dealt in Split Hold'em?
Each board has five community cards: a flop of three, followed by a turn and a river. With two boards, the hand uses ten board cards in total.
Is Split Hold'em the same as standard Texas Hold'em?
It keeps the two-hole-card structure of Texas Hold'em but adds a second board. The pot is split between the two board results, which changes the value of draws and made hands.
