Photos!

To be perfectly frank, photographs cannot fully capture the pure insanity of the All-in or Fold event. As predicted, it was mayhem from start to… well, it’s still going. Put it this way – the first table broke just 6 minutes into the event. The chip leader – G-Man – is chip leader because he convinced is whole table (NOT the one that broke first) to go all-in blind and he won with Ace of Diamonds 10 of Diamonds.

So far, a huge success.

April Fools?

The second-to-last event in the 2014 Playground Poker Spring Classic goes tonight at 7:30pm and it’s going to be a spectacle! The event is a $70 + $10 No Limit Hold’em All-in or Fold tournament.

It’s just as crazy as it sounds. Players are limited to two possible actions – go all-in, or just fold the hand. And if someone is all-in before you, you can’t just call – you MUST go all-in over the top! And if that’s not crazy enough… it’s a re-entry tournament, meaning players who bust early can re-enter during the first four levels of play.

We’ve never tried this format here at Playground before, and it’s sure to be a wild ride.
