Zynga Poker Launches Short Deck Hold'em; First New Game in 14 Years!

Zynga Poker, a free-to-play mobile poker game, is changing things up a bit by adding short deck hold'em to its popular app. It marks the first time Zynga has added a new poker variant since its launch 14 years ago!

Short deck is a common game spread among high-stakes games in certain parts of the world, most notably Asia. Pros such as Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey often promote the poker variant, but it hasn't yet taken off in the lower stakes games in the United States.
