The milestone hand will be played sometime in June, but Pokerstars already gave us a hint of what the celebration is going to look like. As usual a lot of money will be awarded leading up to the Mega Milestone hand. This time there is a total $1 million to be won if you are playing at the right table during the millionth hands. Each millionth hand will pay the players based on the VPP count considering some hands before the millionth one.
The 100 billionth hand alone will pay $1 million to those who are lucky enough to play the hand. The winner will walk away with at least $100,000 and everyone else at the table will win their share of the $1 million based on VPP. Also, the remaining cash from that prize will be shared among all the players at the tables of the same stakes and game as the 100 billionth hand.
During the entire 100 Billion Hands celebration PokerStars will give away $5,000,000 in prizes. $2 million of that will be awarded in the milestone hands, and $3 million in prizes will be awarded in special promotions that cover a big range of games.
