It is an option that online poker rooms have to protected a player if his internet connection fails. The usual method is to treat this player as being all-in. he makes no more actions and is allowed to go to showdown.
This function varies in each poker room. Usually, there is a limit to the number of times this will work for a given player. Regularly it is not available in tournaments; the disconnected player's cards are folded and he loses the bets he has made until that moment.
Such disconnect protection abuse is seen as cheating by some poker rooms and these limitations are to prevent abuse of this feature (specially used by maniacs), since a player could just disconnect his machine if the bets become too high but he does not want to fold.
