Celebrating 40 Billion Hands

Who Can Count to 40 Billion?

The obvious answer is PokerStars

A little over eight years ago PokerStars opened their doors and today they are the biggest poker site in the world. Since PokerStars dealt their first hand, they have continued to grow and now they are - without a doubt - the dominating online poker room for the world. This week will mark a milestone for PokerStars, their 40 billionth hand will be dealt and they have a weeklong celebration going on right now that you don’t want to miss!

PokerStars knows that it took every single player who ever sat at their tables to see this landmark being reached, therefore, they want to make sure all of their players come to the ‘F40’ (February 40) celebration!

The first party you can attend is the series of special tournaments where just 40 FPPs (Frequent Player Points) will get you a seat in a tournament with a whopping $40,000 prize pool! These super $40K VPP events will run every day from February 14th through February 21st where start times will alternate between 13:40 ET & 21:40 ET each day. And if you don’t have enough FPPs, you can satellite your way in for just $5.50!

And the party really takes off on Sunday, February 21th at 16:30 ET, when PokerStars has a real blow-out for the Sunday Million tournament! It just happens this is the fourth anniversary of the very popular weekly million dollar event, so PokerStars will make it a super special Sunday Million 4th Anniversary Edition! The money is HUGE - a whopping $4 Million Dollar Guaranteed prize pool and a first prize of at least $1 Million Dollars will be on the line! Satellite your way in for as low as $2.20 to take a shot at becoming a millionaire! To register for the Sunday Million or any of the other F40 tournaments, open the PokerStars lobby and click on the ‘Tourney’ and then ‘Special’ tabs and get a seat!

Sit n’ Go specialists also can celebrate until February 21st in the 40 player Super Sit n’ Go tournaments with buy-ins of just $1.10, $11, $22 and $55. In these special Sit & Gos, all first place finishers receive a bonus of a chunk of extra cash - a share of a $40,000 prize pool! Each Super Sit n’ Go buy-in level will have its own $40,000 prize pool which adds up to a total of $160,000 in extra cash to be awarded!

And all ring game players will love the cash game party leading up to the 40 billionth Mega Milestone hand because starting with hand 39,601,000,000, all players who are dealt into every millionth hand will earn a cash prize determined by the VPPs they earned at the table. A total of 400 milestone hands will be dealt during the F40 promotion, with over $1 Million Dollars total estimated to be handed out!

Want more? How about FREE cash? You can get that too! That’s right get $40 FREE CASH instantly with your VPPs just by going to the PokerStars VIP Store and clicking on ‘Bonuses’ in the left menu. Then cash in 2,500 of your FPPs for $40 which will be instantly deposited in your player account but you better hurry – this offer expires on February 21st and is limited to one per person.
