Four online poker players in New Jersey<\/a><\/strong> won pieces of a $150,000 prize pool last week through the WSOP.com<\/strong><\/a> and 888poker<\/strong><\/a> network\u2019s lottery sit and go game BLAST<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

BLAST sit and go games are four-person super-turbo Texas Hold\u2019em tournaments that randomly award prize pool multipliers of anywhere from two times to 10,000 times the buy-in. The multiplier is drawn randomly before play begins and is also used to determine the blinds and length of the tournament.<\/p>\n

With all prize pool multipliers the blinds increase every two minutes. However, the bigger the multiplier, the more levels players will compete in before time runs out. Once it does, players are automatically forced to go all-in every hand until a winner is determined.<\/p>\n

BLAST was developed by 888poker. Buy-ins range from as little as $0.10 all the way up to $30. As a result, prize pools can reach as high as $300,000.<\/p>\n

All BLAST tournaments with a multiplier of 1,000 times or more feature six levels of play before players are forced all in. The winner earns 60 percent of the prize pool and the runner up collects 20 percent. The third-place and fourth-place finishers each receive 10 percent.<\/p>\n

Smaller multipliers pay fewer players. In fact, in BLAST sit and go games with a two times multiplier, only the winner gets paid<\/strong>. In games with a five times multiplier, 70 percent of the prize pool goes to the winner and the runner-up earns 30 percent. Plus, in games with anywhere from a 10 times to 100 times multiplier, 60 percent of the prize pool goes to the winner, the runner-up earns 25 percent, and the third-place finisher grabs 15 percent.<\/p>\n

Only BLAST sit and go games with a multiplier of over 1,000 pay all four players.<\/p>\n

Multipliers are not revealed until registration is complete and the tournament begins.<\/p>\n

Of course, the lower multipliers are the most commonly drawn<\/strong>. In fact, there\u2019s a better than 50 percent chance (549,990 in 1 million) that a two times multiplier will be drawn. Plus, the five times multiplier is drawn with a frequency of 408,450 in 1 million. That means there\u2019s a better than 95 percent chance<\/strong> players will draw a multiplier of five times or less.<\/p>\n
