BLAST Sit & Go games on 888poker are one of the hottest places to be on the platform as players have the chance to win up to 10,000 times their buy-in. And the popular poker format is getting a makeover following customer feedback.
There is also more BLAST news from the operator as three players hit the $200,000 jackpot on the site’s Ontario platform, which saw the winner walk away with a whopping $140,000.
Exciting Updates to Be Rolled Across BLAST Jackpot Games
888poker was recently named as the ERG Poker Operator of the Year, and it’s no surprise why after the poker giant proves time and time again that it listens to its player base as well as implementing significant upgrades and improvements to its software.
Based on players attitudes towards BLAST Sit & GOs, 888poker has removed the time and all-in features from the game. This means players are no longer forced to go all-in once the timer hits zero and all future BLAST games will play out like a traditional SNG.
It’s really easy to play BLAST poker as all you need to do is:
- Check the poker lobby for BLAST
- Join a game where a random draw selects the prize pool.
- Once three players register, the game starts.
- Play your SNG as usual – no automatic all-in and no timer – with a possible prize pool of up to 10,000x your buy-in!

Ontario Player Turns $20 into $140K
Last month, one lucky player from Ontario turned a humble $20 into a huge six-figure payday while playing BLAST poker.
“Starplayer50” pocketed the $140,000 winner’s prize after defeating two other players for the lion’s share of the $200K jackpot prize pool. “lizzyroyal11” bagged themselves a welcomed $40,000 payout for their runner-up finish while “brewerybabe1” also secured a five-figure payday and boosted their bankroll by $20,000 for finishing in third-place.
Three even luckier players had their lives changed by playing BLAST games last year after the trio hit the €1,000,000 jackpot, the largest prize BLAST sit & go tournaments awards.
Their returns were even greater as the players involved only paid a single euro. The third place finisher walked away with €100,000, the second-place finish scooped €200,000, while the champion, “Adria74”, turned their meagre €1 entry into a massive €700,000!
