Phenom Grind Prix
Phenom Poker updates the Grind Prix on November 17 with new leaderboard tiers for all stakes, a clear points structure, weekly prize payments, prize pool carryovers, and added Weekly Specials. 

The Phenom Grind Prix enters a stronger phase as the series launches an expanded format aimed at every stake level. 

The update begins on November 17 on Phenom Poker and introduces new leaderboard tiers across No Limit, Pot Limit, and Fixed Limit games. 

Every account is automatically included, which allows all players to compete without any sign-up requirement. 

New Grind Prix Leaderboard Tiers

The revised leaderboard layout offers dedicated tiers for each format. Activity within each tier counts only toward that specific division, which improves fairness and limits comparisons across unrelated stakes. Players compete against opponents who share similar limits, which produces a more accurate and balanced standings table.

No Limit and Pot Limit Tables

  • Micro plus Low: ≤ 2/4
  • Medium: > 2/4 and < 25/50
  • High: ≥ 25/50

Fixed Limit Tables

  • Micro plus Low: ≤ 8/16
  • Medium: > 8/16 and < 100/200
  • High: ≥ 100/200

The tier a player selects determines their leaderboard path. Each hand played within that stake range carries direct scoring weight, which keeps competition levelled across the full ecosystem.

Point System

Phenom Poker maintains a direct scoring method. Players collect 50 points for each 1 USDT in rake, calculated through the Weighted Contributed approach. 

Every leaderboard opens on Monday at 12:00 GMT and closes the next Monday at 11:59 GMT. This weekly cycle supports consistent play volume, creates natural momentum, and resets the standings on a predictable schedule.

Prize Distribution And Prize Pool Carryover

Payouts are issued every Monday. The prize structure divides the weekly pool into 2 segments that fuel immediate rewards and future growth.
  • 80 percent goes directly to the weekly leaderboard winners.
  • 20 percent rolls over to the next week.
The carryover design strengthens upcoming prize pools and keeps the Grind Prix expanding as activity rises. Each cycle has the potential to produce larger rewards, which increases value across all tiers.

Why The Expanded Format Benefits All Players

Expanded Grind Prix

The original Grind Prix gained attention from higher limit players, which encouraged the platform to open the race to every bankroll level. 

The new system now delivers an accessible experience for micro stakes fans, mid stakes grinders, and high stakes regulars. A player competing at 1/2 or at 25/50 has a defined leaderboard with stakes aligned to their range.

This wider structure encourages participation in all time zones and ensures that every hand matters. The approach rewards steady volume, strategic play, and week long consistency.

Weekly Specials

The platform launches Weekly Specials alongside the Grind Prix expansion. These events feature bigger buy-ins, bigger guarantees, and daily freerolls targeted at a broad skill range. 

Several events reach prize pools up to 10K USDT, which adds strong MTT value and appeals to players who want additional scheduling depth. The complete list is available in the MTT lobby.

Join The Grind Prix Action

The expanded Grind Prix goes live on November 17 on Phenom Poker. The update aims to deliver a more inclusive leaderboard structure, wider prize distribution, and consistent competitive action. 

With Weekly Specials and daily freerolls added to the ecosystem, Phenom Poker positions the series as a stronger and more engaging weekly race for every stake level.
