888poker launched its take on jackpot Sit & Go tournaments in July when it introduced BLAST tournaments to its downloadable and mobile online poker client. The exciting format gives 888poker’s players the chance to play for a prize pool between twice and 10,000-times their initial buy-in, and with the highest buy-in being $30, prize pools of up to $300,000 are created and won in a matter of minutes.
Last weekend, two BLAST tournaments had a 10,000-times multiplier applied to the prize pool.
In a $5 buy in BLAST game, “Mn79Ben” came away with a massive $30,000 cash haul, with the runner-up scooping $10,000, Both the third-and-fourth-place finishers collecting a cool $5,000 each.
