starts at 6 pm. Registering now, first come first serve.

Another one should start registering any second, should be full (3500 entrants) in about 10 mins.

another notch in the least interesting thread in 2+2 history (outside of the WPT forum of course).

Is there a hand requirement to play in this freeroll? And what time does registratiob begin?

KneeCo

It's part of Party's 3 billionth hand promo.
check the details here (http://www.partypoker.com/news/events/3_billionth_hand.html).

Basically, they have a 20K freeroll open to all every 5 million hands until they get to 3 billion (its tended to take roughly 26 hours for that many hands to get dealt out thus far). Right after they reach the benchmark, registration open for the freeroll.

I registered for it. I'll gamble it up in the first hour and see if I can get a big stack.

How many more hands till they hit 3 billion? Sorry if its already posted somewhere.

KneeCo

Just watch the HH in the top corner of the window.
When it hits the numbers at the bottom of this page (http://www.partypoker.com/news/events/3_billionth_hand.html) a freeroll will start registering a few minutes later.

not up yet. First theyll be a popup announcing that its been hit and then it will show up within a few minutes.

You know how party is, not an exact science.


EDIT: I wonder what the delay is?
Maybe someone hit a royal in the 2.98 hand and won a million dollars? Or, maybe, just maybe, party sucks.

still waiting.

they've played 100k hands since 2.98-bill now.


maybe they're nixing the freerolls because of all their technical glitches.

I was wondering about that myself...

Have any of the others taken this long to set up?

Nope, far from it.

But I don't think it's cut, cause if it were we probably would have gotten the pop up anyway about the hand being hit, just without the thing about the freeroll (and maybe a warning about giving out our passwords instead).

It did say 7! now its 5!
and its now still registering past 2000 people, is it back to 3500?

I'm nearly positive we're looking at another cancelled tourny.

Hopefully it gets cancelled after it starts. I might get 4 bucks or something. YES.

11-04-2005, 05:36 PM
The $20K freeroll from Wednesday was cancelled halfway through, and no one has been paid for it, so hoping for cancellation may not be the best thing.

I lost 2 pair(AJ) to a higher 2 pair(AK) in that one. Now I'm glad I did or I would have been somewhat pissed about that. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

They have been a little off. But according to the promo, one should start registering in a min when they hit 2,995,000,000.

back up to 3500, fills up quick.

How long is this one going to last before final table? Another 6 or 7 hours?

And do people ever chop in these things?

11-07-2005, 03:31 PM
The last of these will be coming up today, right?

After coming in 4th place on the Saturday afternoon one, I hope I'm home from work in time for the last one today. Anyone on now who could give an update as to how close the hand count is getting to 3 billion?

11-07-2005, 04:06 PM
3 pm EST it's at hand 2,997,350,000.

Plenty of time left.
