partypoker Sit & Go Hero

Jackpot, or lottery, Sit & Go tournaments continue to be one of the more popular poker variants available at online poker sites and the Sit & Go Hero games at partypoker are testament to that fact.

Every day, thousands of Sit & Go Hero tournaments take place at partypoker as players attempt to hit one of the large prize pool multipliers, allowing them to turn a small investment into a potentially life-changing sum of money.

Like other sites’ jackpot Sit & Go tournaments, partypoker’s Sit & Go Hero games start when the table is full, are played to a super-turbo blind structure and has a randomly selected prize pool before the first cards are dealt. Currently, there are $1, $3, $5, $10 and $20 buy in games and the buy-in is multiplied either two times, four times, six times, 10-times, 50-times, 100-times, 1,000-times, or 10,000-times, meaning the maximum prize pool is $200,000 at the $20 level.

If you’re playing in a Sit & Go Hero tournament with a prize pool multiplier of between two times and 10-times then the tournament is a winner-takes-all format, but multipliers between 50-times and 1,000-times pay the top three finishers. Anyone lucky enough to play for a 10,000-times multiplier will receive some prize money as all four places are paid.

Two major differences separate Sit & Go Hero from the competition. The first is that the games are played on four-handed tables instead of three-handed. Partypoker says this allows them to pay the higher prize pool multipliers more frequently.

The second major difference is a game changer because in partypoker Sit & Go Hero tournaments, one player is randomly selected to play with a cash bounty on their heads, which adds a new dynamic to the game and allows players to win up to $50,000 without the need to cash in the tournament itself.

Currently, Sit & Go Hero tournaments are available with $1, $3, $5, $10 and $20 buy-ins and they pay out as shown below:
