Come Celebrate Poker Stars 40 Billionth Hand And Win Big Money

Poker Stars is the biggest poker site on the planet by player base, so it should come as no surprise that the site has already surpassed its 3.5 billionth hand and is steadily rolling toward its 40 billionth hand. In honor of this record-breaking occasion, Poker Stars is giving away record amounts of money.

Starting from the 3.601 billionth hand, PokerStars will be awarding its players bonus money for participating in every millionth hand from there. The bonus will be figured out by calculating how many VPPs were earned at that particular table over the last forty hands. From there, PokerStars multiplies that number by $40 and gives that amount to each player in the hand. For the 40 billionth hand, the bonus multiplier is $400 per VPP.

On top of that, whichever player (or players, if there’s a chopped pot) wins each millionth hand (including the coveted 40 billionth) will receive double the prize money from the pot that they’re entitled to.

These are just the tip of the iceberg for the PokerStars 40 Billionth Hand promotion. There are a slew of special SnG’s (Sit ‘n Go) tournaments (including 40 player SnG’s), MTT’s (multi-table tournaments) with big bonus guarantees, special 1st time depositor freeroll tournaments, and a one-time VIP Club instant cash credit of $40 for 2,500 FPPs (frequent player points) – all wrapped around the theme of the number forty.

And it doesn’t even stop there, as PokerStars is also planning a $1 million guaranteed tournament with a $40 buy-in.

All of this is leading up to Poker Stars biggest Sunday Million ever: Sunday, Feb 21 with an unprecedented $4 million guaranteed prize pool.
