Tonight in the TonyBet Power Weekend there’s a new tournament format on offer: No Limit Pineapple. It’s a $100 + $10 tournament and players start with a 20K stack and blinds go up every 20 minutes.
What is Pineapple? It’s a variant of Texas Hold’em, except that players are dealt 3 hole cards, not 2. Preflop betting occurs exactly like in Hold’em, and once the betting is over – preflop – players must discard one of the 3 hole cards. From there it plays out as a normal Hold’em hand.
Players have 4 levels to register in the tournament (plus the break following the first 4 levels).
