PokerStars is far; 100 billion hands dealt on its site. It is also the name of their new promotion: En route to 100 billion hands. For now, the next step is the billionth 65 hands (the road is still long). Until this hand, PokerStars presents awards at each step where you get closer to the goal.
It is more than 1 million dollars which will be presented during this promotion. In the hand in question, the winner will receive a reward of at least $ 65,000, which leaves little indifferent bankrolls.
According to estimates, 65 billionth hand will be distributed at the end of July 2011. The hands #64,700,000,000 and # it–the, a milestone hand"will be distributed to all the millionth hand. Players who will be involved in a 'milestone' hand will each receive a prize of $ 50 which will be multiplied by the number of VIP Player Points they have earned over the previous 50 hands. The player who wins a "milestone hand will see its price multiplied by two!
Players who will compete in the 65 billionth hand will win them a prize of $ 500, plus $ 500 per number of VPPs earned during the previous 50 hands.
The 65 billionth hand winner will receive a prize of $ 65,500 plus $ 1,000 per number of VPPs earned during the previous 50 hands. If 65 billionth hand pot was a split, the $ 65,000 prize will be divided between the winners of the hand.
Speaking of PokerStars and simple indicative, if ever a 'member of the PokerStars support' was trying to contact you on chat such as Skype, MSN or Gchat software, please immediately block it. Indeed, lately, such a "used" (fraudulent course) tried to contact several PokerStars players to get their password. The scammers do not often break.
Since the "black friday", even though their traffic immediately declined by 25%, things are going well for PokerStars and nothing seems to slow them down. They themselves are even allowed recently to make "threats" to the ARJEL in France by telling them: "we depart from France if the tax does not fall". PokerCollectif will keep you obviously informed of the latest information regarding this issue.
