Poker Stars 50BN Mega Milestone hand hits

[LapLizard]

Poker Stars once again hits a milestone in its long history of business. The 50BN Mega Milestone promotion has had the online poker world buzzing. Player “tbvle” from Germany won the 50 Billionth Hand promotion that Poker Stars had been running. The hand was dealt at 10.37am( ET) on September 22, 2010 “tbvle” won $56,140., and a total of $71,410. was awarded to 6 players. Everyone dealt into the hand also was awarded a $5,200.00 WCOOP Main Event entry for September 26th.

As the 50BN Mega Milestone got closer Poker Stars started awarding prize money each time they hit a million hands. In total $921,039.50 was given out in prize money.

When the 50 billionth hand started the Poker Stars admin team stopped play at the table and instructed everyone at the table that this would be the 50 billionth hand. They disabled railbird chat and announced to everyone playing at Poker Stars that the 50 billionth hand was being dealt on table Ornamenta, which is a $0.02/$0.05 NL Hold'em cash table. They allowed some time for players to open up that table then announced that the 50 billionth hand would now be dealt.

With so much on the line everyone knew that all players would end up all in, and that is exactly what happened. With all six players all in the cards were dealt out. It was great to see that the best starting hand of Qh Qd held up and “tbvle” wins the hand and the 50BN Mega Milestone promotion. The admin team then enabled rail chat and the chat exploded. Congratulations to “tbvle” and to Poker Stars.

that's amazing. I love the fact that it hit on a .02/.05 table and not a 5/10 table. Just imagine sitting down at a .02/.05 with 5 bux and leaving with $56,140. It's a shame that "tbvle" isn't an hpc'er or else we could hold a big party :-D. Hell who knows,with 30,000+ members he could be one of us! Either way this is a cool promo wish i could have been home to try it out. Ah well there's always 100 billion eh?
