We've done it again!
Our hugely popular jackpot-style BLAST
poker game has paid out massively over the weekend. Two whopping prize pools of $300,000 and $50,000 were hit at $30 buy-in and $5 buy-in tables by 8 very lucky 888poker players.
BLAST tables are four-handed turbo Sit & Go's and the prize pool isn't shown until the game start. Can you imagine the excitement on the players' faces when they saw $300K light up? The prize pool varies between 2 times and 10,000 times the buy-in and, in this instance, the maximum amount was dialed up on both tables.
A $300K Prize Pool is Hit
In the 300K game, the top payout of $180,000 went to Swedish player, bucopepic, taking down runner-up sreutov from Russia, who didn't do too shabbily either with a $60,000 payday. Third and fourth place finishers took home $30K each.
The final hand saw bucopepic all-in pre-flop with 6c5c. The flop came down 8-5-7, turn 2, river 4, and it was all over.
Another Big Pay Out!
In the second big win of the weekend, player Mn79Ben, an 888poker member for 2 years hailing from Malaysia, hit it big in a BLAST SnG with a $50K prize pool.
The last hand featured an all-in with Mn79Ben holding two black Queens up against Ah6c. The Queens held, and Mn79Ben walked away with the top prize of $30,000.
Second-place finisher, mario868116 from Russia bagged $10,000 and 4th and 5th place each received $5,000.
All-in-all it's been a fantastic weekend for 888poker players. Make sure you don't miss the chance of bagging yourself a big payday at our BLAST poker tables!
