Within a week PokerStars will be reaching the landmark of 100,000,000,000 hands dealt and the poker room is going to award a total of $5,000,000 in prizes during the promotional period! The 100bln hand celebration have already started today just few hours ago when the hand 99.700.000.000 was dealt.
This is an easy way to score some extra cash, so make sure you check out the promotions available.
Full list of promotion and how you can get extra cash during the week:
Road to 100 Billion: Million Dollar Hand :
The Mega Milestone will be the never-before-seen Million Dollar Hand. The winner of hand 100BN will receive at least $100K, with those dealt in receiving a minimum of $10,000. In addition, they will receive a prize of $2,000 per VPP earned at the table in their last 50 hands!
Once all prizes for the Mega Milestone have been calculated, the remainder of the Million Dollar Hand prize money will be split across all other players seated at the same game, betting structure and stake when the hand was dealt (for example: $0.10/$0.25, No Limit Hold’em). It’s called the Stake Share, and it’s your best ever chance of being part of milestone hand history!
There will also be 300 regular milestone hands that are set to award a further $1,000,000 in prize money to ring game players. The prizes will be paid out every millionth hand from hand #99,700,000,000 onwards.
World Record Tournament :
Play for a share of $300,000 with a special World Record Tournament on June 16, including $25,000 for the winner and cash prizes for thousands of others. In addition to the huge prize pool, you also get to be part of poker history as we aim to set a new record for the biggest poker tournament of all time. The target is an incredible 225 ,000 players, and you can take part for just $1.
PokerStars last World Record Tournament was in December 2011, where 200,000 players helped set a new record. Russia’s ‘sokoluk1991’ won the tournament, which was certified by Guinness in a special ceremony at EPT Prague. Don’t miss out on being part of our new World Record attempt!
Greatest Poker Hand and Zoom & BOOM!:
We are looking for the Greatest Poker Hand in the history of PokerStars. You can vote now, and earn prizes when the winner is announced! Here’s how the voting works:Once the special hand has been selected, simply play any real money No Limit Hold’em Zoom game at any stake between June 24-30. If you are dealt the same hand (including suit) and manage to win with it post-flop, use the BOOM! Hand Replayer to share the hand with the world.
You will be credited with a cash reward worth 100 big blinds at the stake level you were playing at, up to a maximum of $100!
Please Note: The cash will be credited to your account within 48 hours, once we have verified that you have shared the hand via BOOM!, and after other relevant checks.
