partypoker is testing out the slowly becoming ubiquitous feature — Cashout — a way to insure a player’s hand in an all-in situation during online poker cash games.

No details are available at the moment as there has been no official announcement yet, but the new image assets spotted by PRO suggest that it could be making its debut on partypoker cash game tables soon.
