Three Lucky Poker Players Hit $500,000 BLAST Sit-and-Go Jackpot on 888poker
Table Of Contents
In the world of online poker, few games can match the excitement of 888poker Blast Jackpot Sit and Go (SNG) tournaments.
These fast-paced contests offer players the chance to win up to 10,000x their buy-in! And, on a fateful August 8, three daring players took the plunge into a $50 buy-in game, only to be greeted by a jaw-dropping surprise: a colossal prize pool of $500,000!
The outcome was a dream come true for the participants, as they hit the jackpot with the maximum multiplier for their stake.
The payouts were nothing short of astonishing, with $350,000, $100,000, and $50,000 going to the winner, runner-up and third-place player.
It was a relatively new 888poker player who emerged triumphant. Hailing from Canada, the player known as "Pelaps" had only registered on the 888poker site five months prior. Romania's “valyspk04” bagged the final six-figure prize while Hungarian “vicuska12344” saw their bankroll boosted exponentially despite being the first player to hit the wrong side of the virtual rail.
Big BLAST Poker Winners
A lucky few players have recently won big while playing BLAST poker. Last December on 888poker Ontario, "Starplayer50" pocketed $140,000 after they and two others were competing for the lion's share of a $200K jackpot prize pool. The runner-up and third-place finisher also bagged themselves $40,000 and $20,000 respectively.
In 2021, a trio of players hit the $1,000,000 jackpot, and what is even more impressive is that the jackpot was triggered from a $1 BLAST game. "Adria74" was the player who prevailed and collected the $700,000 allocated to the winner while second-place earned $200,000. Third-place also had a six-figure payout, with $100,000 being awarded to them.
