PokerStars Approaching 70 Billionth Hand

The world’s largest online poker room is fast approaching its 70 billionth hand over the next 10 days with more than $750,000 in cash prizes to be awarded to those taking part in ring games held on October 29.   

PokerStars.com is building up to the 100 billionth hand.

For the Mega Milestone, the calculation is the same, but multiplied by TEN! The winner of the hand also has their prize doubled and will receive an additional prize of $70,000. With more money awarded for earning more VPPs, it pays to play more hands in the run up to a milestone hand in order to maximise the potential prize.

In order for players to see when the next milestone hand is due to hit, there is a “Number of hands dealt” counter at PokerStars.com – click here for the current real-time total. The first milestone hand is estimated to hit on October 29, and the winning will continue for up to seven days until the Mega Milestone strikes.

In the 65-billionth hand, which occurred back in July, New Zealand player “yllams” pocketed the top prize of $68,420 while playing at a $0.10/$0.25 six-max cash table.
