It's some sort of poker game where one player has bet a "Poland" and another player has raised the bet by an "Ireland."

Perhaps. But then... what does this sentence really mean? In cards in would be... I'll see one of your cards and raise the amount of money on the table, right?

No. The language used in poker is very idiomatic.
I'll see your (whatever the current bet is) = I'll match your bet.
It has nothing to do with exposing what cards are in your hand.
