I am a programmer. From a programming standpoint, it would not make any sense to send a client the cards of the other players. The server knows everyone's cards, but only send each client one hand (its own) and keep the rest private until the end of the hand.

However, I can see the program messing up at times (very rare) and using an OLD hand history for the current hand, and since it knows more than just your hand, display the other hands.

However I don't see how it would show EVERYONE's hands, because usually the hand histories only know the hands that went to showdown.

This is just a guess, but sometime like this, or similar to this, could very well happen in a buggy software. I know that UB had worked alot recently on their SNG software.

Then again, maybe I am wrong. If you actually saw the hands that took part in that game IN REAL TIME, then I would be very scared to ever play at that site again.
