BLAST Poker
What is BLAST Sit & Go?
BLAST is a 3-handed, Super-turbo, Texas Hold’em Sit & Go.
The prize pool of each BLAST Sit & Go is determined by a draw that takes place at the beginning of each BLAST tournament and varies between two and 10,000 times the buy-in of the selected BLAST Sit & Go game.
The starting chips, blind structure and prize pool distribution of each BLAST Sit & Go is determined by the multiplier that was randomly assigned to that BLAST Sit & Go game. The higher the multiplier, the deeper the structure.
How to register for a BLAST Sit & Go
You’ll find the BLAST tab on the left side menu of 888poker.com’s main lobby.
Under this tab you’ll find all the available BLAST Sit & Go buy-ins.
In order to register for a BLAST Sit & Go, simply click on the buy-in you wish to play and select the amount of BLAST Sit & Go tournaments you would like to register for.
Once 3 players have registered - the draw takes place and the game begins.
The Draw
The BLAST draw takes place as soon as the BLAST Sit & Go starts and is what determines the prize pool.
The multiplier is randomly determined according to the probability tables below:
