Ridolfo Fades, Almost Triples With Aces

A big three-way all-in ended with Joshua Ridolfo nearly tripling his stack with aces. Ridolfo and another player were all-in preflop with a bigger stack making the call.

The three players saw a flop of {6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades} and released their third card.

Ridolfo: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
All-in Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Ridolfo's aces were good through the flop, and held through the turn and river �� {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, knocking out the all-in player, and almost tripling his stack.

It's About to Get Crazy Up in Playground Poker Club

The World Cup of Cards Event #7: $220 NL Crazy Pineapple Bounty is about to kick off at Playground Poker Club in Kahnawake, Quebec. The hold'em style variation features a guarantee of $15,000.

NL Crazy Pineapple plays like a regular hold'em game with a slight variation. Players are dealt three cards but once they reach a flop, they must discard one of them. The rest of the hand plays normally.

For each buy in, $150 will go to the prize pool and $50 will go towards your bounty. Bounties are awarded to a player who busts another player from the tournament. Players start with 20,000 chips with blinds increasing every 20 minutes.

Late registration will remain open until the end of the first break, following Level 4. Good luck to all players.

PokerNews will be here throughout the festival, bringing you all the news, updates, and photos. Follow @pokernews on Twitter for live updates, Periscope broadcasts, and more. Also, follow PokerNews on Facebook and Instagram.
