Take part in BLAST tournaments at 888poker and get a chance to win a share of the daily $2,500 prize pool. Learn the rules, point system, and prizes.

Jackpot tournaments remain one of the most dynamic and popular formats in online poker, and on 888poker, they come in the form of BLAST — three-player hyper-turbo Sit & Go tournaments where you can win up to $1,000,000. Every day, players can compete for a share of a $2,500 prize pool distributed via the BLAST leaderboards. In this article, we’ll take an in-depth look at how BLAST tournaments work, how leaderboard points are calculated, what prizes are available at different buy-in levels, and what this means for PPPoker club players. BLAST Tournament Format on 888poker: Fast-Paced Sit & Go with a Jackpot BLAST is a type of Sit & Go tournament designed for three players. The tournament begins as soon as three players are seated, and it uses a hyper-turbo structure: blind levels increase rapidly, making the action fast and intense. Before each tournament, a BLAST draw determines the prize pool multiplier. Typically, the prize pool is double the buy-in, but it can reach up to 10,000 times the buy-in, and in special $1 BLASTs — even up to $1,000,000. This means that with a minimal investment, players have a shot at a massive payout. The payout structure depends on the multiplier drawn: For 2x, 3x, and 5x multipliers — the winner takes the entire prize pool (winner-takes-all). For 10x and 25x multipliers — the prize pool is split between the top two finishers (80% for first place, 20% for second). For 100x, 10,000x, and 1,000,000x multipliers — the prize pool is divided among all three players (70% for first, 20% for second, 10% for third). BLAST tournaments are available with $1, $2, $5, $10, and $20 buy-ins. There are also $50 and $100 buy-in BLASTs, but these do not count towards the leaderboards. BLAST Prize Pool Multiplier Probabilities In every BLAST tournament, the prize pool multiplier is determined before play begins, which can dramatically increase potential winnings. Here’s how the probabilities for each multiplier break down (see the 888poker website for exact figures): 2x — the standard outcome, appears most frequently 3x and 5x — less common 10x, 25x — much rarer, but offer a real shot at a big win 100x, 10,000x, 1,000,000x — extremely rare multipliers, where you can win tens of thousands or even a million dollars So, every BLAST tournament is not just a fast Sit & Go, but also a chance to hit a true jackpot. BLAST Leaderboards: $2,500 in Daily Prizes 888poker runs four daily BLAST leaderboards with a combined prize pool of $2,500. Prizes are awarded as BLAST tickets, allowing players to re-enter tournaments and take another shot at hitting a big multiplier. To participate in a leaderboard, you must first opt in. After that, the following tournaments count towards your leaderboard score: Your first 10 BLAST tournaments played at $1, $2, $5, and $10 buy-ins Your first 30 BLAST tournaments played at the $20 buy-in level This means every player can compete for prizes at their preferred buy-in level, and tickets won as rewards can be used for more BLAST entries or to participate in the next day’s leaderboard. BLAST Leaderboard Prize Tables Below are the prize breakdowns for each buy-in level: $1 & $2 BLAST Leaderboard (total prize pool $250): 1st place — $50 in BLAST tickets 2nd place — $35 3rd place — $25 4th place — $20 5th place — $15 6th place — $12 7th place — $10 8th place — $8 9th place — $7 10th place — $6 11th–15th places — $4 16th–20th places — $3 21st–30th places — $2 $5 BLAST Leaderboard (total prize pool $500): 1st place — $100 in BLAST tickets 2nd place — $70 3rd place — $50 4th place — $40 5th place — $30 6th place — $25 7th place — $20 8th place — $15 9th place — $12 10th place — $10 11th–15th places — $8 16th–20th places — $6 21st–30th places — $4 $10 BLAST Leaderboard (total prize pool $750): 1st place — $150 in BLAST tickets 2nd place — $100 3rd place — $75 4th place — $60 5th place — $45 6th place — $35 7th place — $30 8th place — $25 9th place — $20 10th place — $15 11th–15th places — $12 16th–20th places — $10 21st–30th places — $8 $20 BLAST Leaderboard (total prize pool $1,000): 1st place — $200 in BLAST tickets 2nd place — $150 3rd place — $100 4th place — $80 5th place — $65 6th place — $50 7th place — $40 8th place — $35 9th place — $30 10th place — $25 11th–15th places — $20 16th–20th places — $15 21st–30th places — $10 All prizes are awarded as BLAST tickets of the corresponding value. How BLAST Leaderboard Points Are Calculated Each BLAST tournament you play earns you points for the leaderboard. The scoring system is as follows: 2nd or 3rd place — 1 point Win — 2 points Your points are then multiplied by the prize pool multiplier drawn for that tournament. For example, if you win a BLAST with a 10x multiplier, you receive 2 points × 10 = 20 points. This system rewards not only consistent play, but also makes victories in high-multiplier tournaments especially valuable. Example: If a player finishes first in a $5 BLAST with a 10x multiplier, they earn 2 points, multiplied by 10, for a total of 20 leaderboard points.

Context: BLAST, 888poker, and Their Role in Online Poker BLAST tournaments are a signature format on 888poker, combining the fast-paced action of hyper-turbo Sit & Go with the excitement of a random jackpot thanks to the prize pool multiplier. 888poker is one of the world’s largest poker platforms, regularly running promotions and leaderboards to keep players engaged and reward active play. Daily leaderboards with $2,500 in prizes make BLAST attractive not only to fans of quick tournaments, but also to those looking for regular extra rewards. Prizes in the form of tickets let players reinvest their winnings into new tournaments, increasing their chances of hitting a big multiplier. The original article was written by Matthew Pitt, PokerNews editor since 2010, with extensive experience in poker journalism and analysis. What This Means for PPPoker Club Players For PPPoker club members, the 888poker BLAST experience and daily leaderboards can serve as a great example of effective player engagement. The points system, which depends on the prize pool multiplier, encourages not only regular play but also active participation in tournaments with the potential for big wins. This can be a useful reference point for club promotions and reward structures. Additionally, the three-player hyper-turbo Sit & Go format with a random jackpot element could be popular in PPPoker clubs, where players appreciate fast-paced games and the chance to win big with a small buy-in. Club organizers can use similar mechanics to attract and retain players. Finally, awarding tickets as prizes allows players to reinvest their winnings into new tournaments, boosting engagement and providing extra motivation for regular play. This could be a valuable idea for developing reward systems in PPPoker clubs.
