Event #10 of the World Cup of Cards, the $100 + $10 Crazy Pineapple 8-Max Re-entry, featured a $6,000 prize pool guarantee and unlimited re-entries during the late registration period. There were a total of 62 entries, including 12 re-entries, which pushed the prize pool to just meet the guarantee and award a total of $6,014 to the top eight players.

The tournament moved at a rapid pace with an array of different chip leaders as the night progressed. Once the late registration period closed, there were a series of eliminations that narrowed the field to the final table in an instant.

Jordano Mascaro finished in third place for $925, leaving Normand Plessis Belair and Didier Delvil heads-up for the top spot. The final hand saw Plessis Belair shove all in pre-flop which Delvil called.

Simon Marciano was eliminated fifth to win a total of $495.

The remaining competitors have discussed the idea of an ICM deal but nothing has been agreed upon as of yet.

Five players remain in contention as level 20 gets underway. Play has slowed significantly at the final table, as everyone has set their sights on the top prize but the chips continue to fly.

Shawn Quinn was the first to be eliminated from the final table in ninth place to go home with $120. Sharon Spence was next to go in eighth for a total of $195 and Andre Larocque finished seventh to be awarded $265.

Play continues…

Play is moving fast! The field is down to nine competitors who now make up the final table. The players also agreed upon a bubble deal that would take $15 from each payout to award the ninth place finisher with $120. Congratulations to all remaining players for making it in the money.

Here is a look at the final table seating chart.

Crazy Pineapple is proving it’s name true. A series of quick eliminations have knocked the field down to ten players, which is just two spots from being in the money.

The chip leader has changed once again, as Normand Plessis Belair has taken a huge lead on his competitors after playing relatively under the radar for the majority of the night. His stack of 361,000 chips is almost triple the chip average and is currently worth 45 big blinds.

Play is expected to slow as the money bubble approaches but who knows what will happen based on tonight’s fast moving events.

The field has been shrinking at a fairly rapid pace and the chips are flying back and forth. Players with smaller stacks are feeling the pressure from the increasing blinds as the current chip average is now worth 19 big blinds.

There will be a seating redraw once 16 players remain to make up the final two tables.

Here’s a look at some recent action.

Only 24 players remain in the Crazy Pineapple field and the tension is building. The chips have shifted significantly after the second break as the leaderboard has been populated with new faces.

Giuseppina Amato Sferlazza has built her stack to become the new chip leader after the second break of the night. Her stack of 109,000 chips is currently worth 54 big blinds.

Late registration is now closed as play resumes into level seven. There were a total of 62 entries (including 12 re-entries) in tonight’s tournament, as 47 players continue to battle it out.

Trevor Dixon is the first chip leader of the night with his stack of 81,000 chips. Pierre Martel won a huge hand right before the break to move him into second place with 76,500 chips. It’s seeming to be a tight race at the top.

Crazy Pineapple is off to a great start with 38 entries as the clock winds down on level two. There’s still plenty of time to enter as the late registration period will close at the beginning of level seven at 10:15pm.

Here’s a look at what’s happening on the floor.

Event ten of Playground’s World Cup of Cards, the Crazy Pineapple 8-Max Re-entry, has just kicked off. Tonight’s tournament has a buy-in of $100 + $10 and features a guaranteed prize pool of $6,000!

Crazy Pineapple is always an exciting event as every player receives three cards, one of which must be discarded. After the first round of betting, the dealer will reveal the flop and during the second round of betting, players discard one of their hole cards. 

Competitors will start with a stack of 25,000 chips and play 8-handed through 20-minute blinds. There will be a seating redraw once 16 players remain and again for the top nine players at the final table. This is a re-entry event with unlimited re-entries permitted during the late registration period which will close at the beginning of level seven. Re-entry is permitted for anyone that loses their chips or chooses to forfeit their stack.

Good luck to all competitors!
