PokerStars to Celebrate 100 Billionth Hand with Big Wins
This was published 07-06-2013Just a few short months after PokerStars gave away hundreds of thousands of dollars to its customers in celebration of having dealt its 90 billionth hand of real- money poker, it is once again preparing to give away even more money as it expects to deal its 100 billionth hand round about the 14th June, 2013.
PokerStars has dealt almost 100,000,000,000 real- money hands since opening its doors to the poker public, thus achieving what no other site in the industry has achieved and has announced that it intends throwing a stunning party when it deals its 100 billionth hand of real money poker that will see players win some lucrative prizes.
During the celebration PokerStars will be awarding cash prizes to players every millionth hand as from hand No. 99,700,000,000 onwards. Those players who are dealt into a milestone hand will be awarded a prize of at least $75 although prizes could be even higher than that due to the fact that PokerStars uses a special formula, as shown below, to generate the prize.
Dealt into a milestone hand: (No. of VPPs in last 50 hands x $675) +$75
- Win milestone hand: (No. VPPs in last 50 hands x $75+$75) x2
Players who will be playing at a $1/$2 table and were dealt into a milestone hand having generated 31VPPs in the last 50 hands will win a prize of $2,400 (31*$75+$75). The prize will be doubled if the player wins the milestone hand.
PokerStars will be giving away some amazing prizes once the 100 billionth hand of real money has been reached with everyone dealt into that hand winning at least $10,000 and the winner of the famous hand winning a minimum of $100,000 which will be deposited into their PokerStars account.
PokerStars has also revealed that they will be paying out a guaranteed sum of $1,000,000 during the 100 billionth hand and that any prize money that is left over after they have paid out the players who are dealt into hand number 100 billion will be awarded to all the players dealt into the same stake and betting structure as the 100 billionth hand.
