What a fantastic start to autumn with a massive 3 BLAST Jackpots hit three days in a row in October! Players wagered a meagre $21 altogether to cash in on an astounding $210,000 in overall in prize money.
BLAST Sit & Go’s are essentially 4-handed tournaments where the prize pool is randomly set. After a set amount of time, all four players are placed all-in every hand.
The last player standing takes home the biggest slice of the pie – which could be as much as 10,000 times the buy-in!
BLAST $150,000 Prize Pool Smash
The biggest hit came on the last day of this unbelievable run. On 6 October four players took their seats in a $15 buy-in BLAST Sit & Go, unaware that they were in the running for life-changing sums of money.
The total prize pool was randomly drawn at $150,000, and everyone was pretty confident that today was going to be a good day!
Top prize of $90K went to Brazilian JCDias888, with players from the Ukraine ($30,000), Ireland ($15,000) and the UK ($15,000) also walking away with not-too-shabby payouts.
BLAST $10,000 Very British Affair
The first big hit of the month on 888poker came on 4 October in $1 buy-in FAST Blast SNG. The British took over as all four hit the big time with a $10,000 prize pool randomly chosen for the game.
Top prize of $6,000 went to Grezz1977 with his/her three fellow compatriots picking up $2,000 for second place and $1,000 each for third and fourth.
BLAST $50,000 Prize Pool Winners
Right in the middle of this huge BLAST run, on 5 October four players jumped into a SNG, only to find that their $5 buy-in was going to go a lot further! The prize pool was bumped up to a whopping $50,000 with the lion’s share of $30K up top.
First place and $30,000 in prize money went to SELLAGO from Moldova but from there on it was an all-Canadian affair. Second place and $10,000 was collected by stray502. Third and fourth place prize money of $5,000 each was awarded to players, sccerpy252 and bruyeresnews.
Congratulations to all 12 BLAST players on their massive heater and may it continue!
How Can I Get in on BLAST Action?
BLAST SNGs run all day long on all 888poker platforms. Be sure to check the client and our social media channels for special BLAST promotions.
Each BLAST Sit & Go (SNG) kicks off with a random draw to determine the prize pool, which can be as much as 10,000 times the buy-in. Players receive a starting stack of 1,500 chips regardless of the multiplier. The blind structure and prize pool distribution of each BLAST Sit & Go is set according to the multiplier.
As soon as four players are registered, the tournament kicks off, and the BLAST timer starts. When the BLAST timer runs out, all the remaining players are put all-in until only one is left standing and declared the winner.
Currently, our BLAST SNGs offer buy-ins ranging from 50¢, $1, $5, $15, $30 and $100.
Check out the 888poker client, under the BLAST Sit & Go tab, to see the latest buy-ins available.
