- Final Table Deal Making allows players at the final table of a tournament to make a deal for all or part of the remaining tournament prize pool. To check whether or not a tournament features this dealmaking facility, go to the poker lobby and select a tournament and open the tournament lobby. If deal making is possible, it will say 'Final table deal making possible' in the top bulletin board message.
- Now you can Resize, tile or cascade your tables. There are enough constraints in life – the way you view your online poker games shouldn't be one of them. That's why Party Poker added a new 'table view' feature that lets you customize your playing screen to suit your style of play.
