MECHANICS
GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW:
- Crazy Pineapple is played just like NLH except each player receives three hole cards.
- After the flop, players are required to discard one card face down from their hand. The discard takes place after all betting action on the flop is complete, and before the turn is dealt.
LEVELS:
- Levels will be 15 minutes for the duration of the tournament until a winner is declared.
RE-ENTRY:
- Unlimited re-entry is allowed before the close of registration.
PAYOUTS:
- Approximately one in seven entries (15%) will be in the money.
SHOT CLOCKS & TIME BANKS:
- Shot Clocks will be implemented throughout the tournament.
- Each player has 15 seconds to act on their first decision and 20 seconds on any subsequent decision.
- Players receive 3 time-extension chips worth 20 seconds each at the time of taking their seat, and another 3 more at the start of the Final Table.
PACE OF PLAY:
- Players are required to make decisions within a reasonable timeframe.
- Players who are found to intentionally abuse time, deliberately stall, or purposely slow down the game’s progression will be subjected to a 5-second shot clock for all subsequent decision-making.
- In all tournaments, including shot clock tournaments, we retain the right to limit the time any player has to make a decision.
SEATING & RE-DRAWS:
- Play will move to 9-handed when play permits.
- Seating re-draws will be conducted prior to the start of the Final Table.
STAFF FEE:
- Four percent (4%) of the prize pool will be withheld to offset tournament staffing costs.
RULES:
- Tournament Director Association (TDA) rules will be used.

Event #66 Crazy Pineapple brought plenty of spice to the felt, and from 33 daring entries it was Chan Chin Hei of Hong Kong who tasted the sweetest victory! He captured the trophy and the top prize of NT$56,500, outlasting a field full of risk-takers in this thrilling variant of poker.
In Crazy Pineapple, players get three hole cards but must discard one after the flop — a format that creates wild action and even wilder decisions. Chan kept his cool in the madness, proving that sharp instincts and steady nerves can turn chaos into triumph.
