Texas Hold’em– Triple Board

This Triple Board is a Texas Hold’em variant where each player is dealt two hole-cards but there are three boards of community cards for players to make their best five-card hand from. Depending on the rules of the event, this variant can be played with one or three winners.

How it’s Dealt:
Pre-flop: At the start of each hand, players are dealt their two hole-cards at once followed by a round of betting.

The Flop: After the pre-flop action is complete, the dealer will burn a single card and then deal a standard three-card flop, followed immediately by another standard three-card flop underneath, followed by a third and final three-card flop underneath forming the start of three separate boards.

The Turn: Once betting on the flop is complete, the dealer will burn a single card and deal a turn card for the top board, a turn card for the middle board, and a turn card for the bottom board.

The River: When betting action is completed for the turn, the dealer will burn a single card and deal a river card for the top board, a river card for the middle board, and a river card for the bottom board, completing all three boards.

This variation can be played with either a single winner, or as a split pot game with three separate winning hands - one for each individual board. A player can “Scoop” if they have the best five-card poker hands for all three boards.

The Showdown:
• If there is more than one remaining player when the final betting round is complete, the last person to bet or raise shows their cards. If no player bet on the River, the player immediately clockwise from the button shows their cards first.
• If the game is played as single winner, the best five-card poker hand from either of the boards will win the entire pot. In the event of identical winning hands, the pot will be equally divided between the players with the best hands. In the event of an odd chip during the split, it is awarded to the first active player immediately clockwise from the button – the player in the worst position.
• If the game is triple-winner, one-third the pot is awarded to the player with the best five-card poker hand for the top board, one-third to is awarded to the winner of the middle board, and one-third is awarded to the winner of the bottom board. In the event of two or more players having the same winning hands, the pot thirds will be split accordingly. In the event of an odd chip during the split, it is awarded to the hand that wins the top board. In the event of an odd chip during the split of either of the three boards, it is awarded to the first active player immediately clockwise from the button.
