Phenom Poker Expands Grind Prix Format With New Tiers

The Phenom Grind Prix enters its next phase with a wider leaderboard format designed to bring every player into the weekly race. 

Beginning November 17, Phenom Poker introduces new leaderboard tiers across No Limit, Pot Limit, and Fixed Limit formats. 

Players compete only within the tier that matches their stake level. All hands contribute to that specific leaderboard, which helps maintain balanced fields and fair competition across the entire pool.

The scoring format follows the Weighted Contributed method and awards 50 points for every 1 USDT in rake. The system calculates each player’s exact contribution to the pot, which ensures accurate and transparent tracking. Every leaderboard cycle begins Monday at 12:00 GMT and ends the following Monday at 11:59 GMT. This weekly rotation resets standings and rewards consistent participation.

Prizes are paid out every Monday. The prize structure splits each pool into 2 parts.

This rolling carryover increases future prize pools and adds long term value to the leaderboard promotion.

The early Grind Prix launch received strong engagement at higher stakes. The new multi tier layout now gives micro players, mid stakes grinders, and high stakes regulars equal access to weekly rewards. 

A player competing at 1/2 receives the same structured path as someone playing 25/50. The broader reach supports higher traffic across time zones and creates a more inclusive environment where every hand holds value throughout the week.

The expansion arrives alongside Weekly Specials, a new batch of tournaments built around larger buy-ins, stronger guarantees, and daily freerolls. 

Prize pools climb up to 10K USDT. The full overview is available in the MTT lobby for all players preparing for event schedules.

Players can now set their calendars for November 17 on Phenom Poker. The expanded leaderboard ladder, simple scoring system, and the addition of Weekly Specials aim to elevate the weekly race while creating a deeper and more competitive experience across every stake level.
