Zoom poker
A fast-paced poker game format developed by PokerStars. In Zoom Poker, players are moved to a new table with new opponents immediately after they fold their hand. This format allows for a much higher volume of hands played per hour, as players do not need to wait for a hand to complete once they fold. They are instantly zoomed to a new table.
