Players Split Top Prize of $1 Million Blast Jackpot Sit & Go at 888poker

Three 888poker players recently hit it big in one of the site’s Blast Jackpot Sit and Go’s – turning $100 into a share of $1 million.

Most poker players dream of a massive score. As short-handed, random prize jackpot-style tournaments have grown more popular, that’s become a possibility.

Three players at 888poker recently hit it big in one of the site’s Blast Jackpot Sit and Go’s. These lucky rounders turned $100 buy-ins into a share of the $1 million prize pool in less than 10 minutes.

Blasting off for six figures at 888poker

Blast Jackpot games are three-handed tournaments with a random prize pool determined before the event begins. Players receive a starting stack of 1,500 chips and begin play like a regular tournament.

The blind structure and prize pool distribution of each Blast game is set according to the multiplier.

After a certain amount of time, the games move all three players all in every hand until only one remains. The $1 million prize pool doesn’t come up often, but these three played for the top prize of $700,000.

“I couldn’t even believe it,” one of the winners told 888poker. “Only the next day I realized that it was true – I won a jackpot. I´m super excited and can’t thank you enough.”

A look at the big winners

Two of the Blast winners hail from Canada and one from the United Kingdom. Each player won a portion of the million-dollar prize. Here’s a look at the winners:

  • Mikaxe – first-place for $700,000
  • ayemaxx08 – second for $200,000
  • aatorblood13 – third for $100,000

One winner said the first thing he’d do is “pay a few bills and put money in savings.”

Plenty of action at 888poker this month

It’s been a busy couple months at 888poker. The site announced a partnership with the World Poker Tour’s Deepstacks series recently.

888 will be hosting WPTDeepstacks London Online from April 18-26 with a guarantee of $2 million.

Players will find 16 events with each winner scoring an official WPTDS trophy. The $1,050 Main Event features $1 million guaranteed.

Three WPTDeepStacks tour series are set for April 18-26 with a total of more than $3 million guaranteed prizes.

The site will also host numerous freerolls throughout the series. That includes giving out $200,000 in tickets to qualifying events.

Satellites are already underway. 888 will also offer four live streaming events on the site’s Facebook and YouTube channels. For a complete schedule of events, click here.

WPT Announces International Live Events, 888poker Online Series Schedule Released

WPTDeepStacks London Online kicked off on 888poker Sunday. The site also launched a new Twitch channel as part of the festivities.

The World Poker Tour has slowly begun to return to the live poker felt. That also now includes more series internationally and in the United States as well as more online events.

The tour’s DeepStacks series recently announced some new stops in Australia and Vietnam. Along with that, the complete schedule for the upcoming WPTDeepStacks series at 888poker has also been released.

Many players may be pleased to see the tour returning. The company continues to expand with both live and online poker options.

Getting back in action with live WPT events

After running live events in Florida and Las Vegas already, the WPT continues to grow its schedule. The WPTDeepStacks Hanoi runs April 21-25 at the Crown Poker Club. The series features a VND22,000,000 ($950) buy-in and comes with a guarantee of about $173,000.

The WPTDeepStacks Gold Coast is set for May 27-31 at The Star Gold Coast and comes with a buy-in of AU$1,500 ($1,140).

The property is located about an hour south of Brisbane on Australia’s luxurious coastal getaway. A guarantee hasn’t been announced yet.

Both events produced 650-plus fields when last run in 2019. WPT live events specialist Danny McDonagh notes that foreign players made up more than 50% for previous Vietnam events. Because of that, producing a similar result may be ambitious.

“However, Vietnam is a relatively new market for poker and interest is growing, so for a country starved of major festivals for well over a year, the festival will surely generate excellent local numbers from locals and expats throughout Vietnam,” McDonagh told PokerScout.

Tour hopes for success again in Australia 

The inaugural WPT Gold Coast attracted a large proportion of Australians. A similar result may be possible once again. Lifting of New Zealand tourist restrictions would also help, but that possibility remains to be seen.

Both properties will have COVID protocols in place including seven-handed tables in Australia. How does it feel to see live WPT events returning internationally?

“The big positive I see is that it is giving real hope to poker players that life is beginning to return to normal,” McDonagh said.

“Poker players in Vietnam and Australia have the opportunity to attend the event, while poker players in other countries are encouraged by these developments and live in hope of travel restrictions being relaxed sometime in 2021 so they too can get to an event. Without a doubt poker players worldwide have missed live poker festivals.” 

WPT Main Tour events crank up in US

The tour experienced big numbers recently at the Venetian in Las Vegas and at the Seminole Hard Rock in Florida. Players are in store for another Main Tour event soon.

The $3,500 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown is set for April 23-27 with a $2 million guarantee. The event comes after the property’s Lucky Hearts Poker Open attracted 1,573 entries in January.

That event produced a prize pool of $5 million, crushing the $1 million guarantee. The Venetian event brought in 937 entries in February for a $4.3 million prize pool, also easily topping the $1.5 million guarantee.

WPT officials hope similar results continue. No other US-based live events have been announced so far.

However three remaining final tables from 2020 have been scheduled to be played in Las Vegas at the PokerGO Studio. These events are set to be filmed for broadcast on FOX Sports:

  • Borgata Winter Poker Open – May 16
  • LA Poker Classic – May 17
  • Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown – May 18

WPTDeepStacks hits the online poker tables in 888poker London series

Beyond live action, the WPTDeepStacks is also returning to action online. 888poker is hosting the DeepStacks London Online from April 18-26 with an overall guarantee of more than $2 million.

The series boasts 16 events with each winner taking home an official WPTDS trophy. The $1,050 Main Event highlights the series with $1 million guaranteed.

Players will find seven starting flights for the Main Event. Other highlights include:

  • $320 PKO (Event 3, April 19) – $100,000 guaranteed
  • $2,100 High Roller (Event 5, April 20) – $100,000 guaranteed
  • $525 Marathon (Event 9, April 22) – $100,000 guaranteed
  • $215 Mini Main Event (Event 15, April 25) – $100,000 guaranteed

888 will also offer daily freerolls awarding $200,000 in tickets to qualifying events. Satellites are already underway. Poker fans can follow the action with four live streaming events on the 888 Facebook and YouTube channels including:

  • Opener (Event 1)

  • Marathon (Event 9)
  • Main Event Day 2 (Event 15)

  • More payouts
  • Better options for recreational players

The Big Shot gets even bigger on Sunday with four versions of the tournament from $5.50 to $525. The $109 Big Shot Main Event features a $150,000 guarantee.

There’s also a $525 high roller Big Shot with a $100,000 guarantee. Here’s a look at the other new tournaments coming to 888poker:

  • The Classic – A freezeout like poker in the “old days” – no rebuys and no re-entries with shorter late registration.
  • The Dash – A fun group of tournaments at a turbo pace.
  • The Mayhem – These fast-paced six-max tournaments bring plenty of action.. 
  • The Rumble – Get in the bounty action with daily PKO tournaments. Knock out an opponent and a player collects part of the bounty. The other portion is added to the winner’s bounty – adding some nice fun as bounties escalate throughout the tournament.
  • The Voyage – This is a deepstack tournament for players who have more time for the action. The extra chips allow for extra time to play.

Here’s a complete look at the schedule for some of the bigger new events throughout the week.
