Most poker players dream of a massive score. As short-handed, random prize jackpot<\/strong>-style tournaments have grown more popular, that\u2019s become a possibility.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three players at 888poker<\/strong><\/a> recently hit it big in one of the site\u2019s Blast Jackpot<\/strong> Sit and Go\u2019s. These lucky rounders turned $100<\/strong> buy-ins into a share of the $1 million<\/strong> prize pool in less than 10 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blast Jackpot games are three-handed<\/strong> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

The blind structure and prize pool distribution of each Blast game is set according to the multiplier<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u2019t come up often, but these three played for the top prize of $700,000<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn’t even believe it,\u201d one of the winners told 888poker. \u201cOnly the next day I realized that it was true \u2013 I won a jackpot. I\u00b4m super excited and can’t thank you enough.\u201d<\/span>
