Hi, I owe some apologies! I've been horribly AFK the last year or so due to work obligations. That situation has changed, and I'm providing some needed love to the few packages I still have ownership of, and trying to gauge my ability to dive in to things more deeply. I've created updates for Fedora 19 and Fedora 20 to the latest upstream release of PokerTH and it should be in updates-testing soon.
Anyone want to fire up a game of PokerTH this week and get those updates enough Karma to hit stable? :)

Doesn't this work?
sudo yum install pokerth
EDIT:
I see there's already a bug filed, but the maintainer hasn't responded to it. The new version is available for Fedora 21, and the maintainer probably doesn't plan to build it for F20 following the Fedora updates policy. If you think it the update has important fixes and should be available in Fedora 20, please comment on the bug and ask the maintainer to push an update.
EDIT:
For the time being, I've put up a pokerth-f20 copr repository. You can use this until the maintainers update the package in the official Fedora repositories. Please note that this package is untested, and will not receive frequent updates.

Please use the packages from the main fedora repository that @rrix has built. I'm shutting down the COPR repository.
Go to pokerth download page and dowload the linux installer or binary. For the latter option, you should download PokerTH-1.1.1-linux.tar.bz2 and as it says:
No Installer: just unpack and run "./pokerth.sh" (32bit mode)
However, if you have a 64bit Fedora installaion, you might need to install some 32bit dependencies (it fails to run with some errors about missing libraries). For each missing library, you should install the corresponding i686 package. For example, to install 32bit glibc you should run:
yum install glibc.i686
You might also try to install the library directly. It should reside in either /lib/ or /usr/lib. So, if for example libproxy.so.1 is missing you can try:
yum install /lib/libproxy.so.1 /usr/lib/libproxy.so.1

While this will work, I strongly recommend requesting the maintainer to push an update so you can avail the advantages of an rpm package. :)
@Florian you're welcome. And actually, they ARE following Fedora update policy which discourages MAJOR updates which can break user experience. However, that is subjective and the maintainer can judge if an update is suitable for a Fedora release. IMHO, games should be updated always unless they severly break compatibility (e.g. their network protocol changes).
