I know it was asked about earlier (in the last few days)if Stars was going to do any promos for their 500 millioth hand, so here's the latest.


PokerStars 500 Millionth Hand Celebration

Come join us as we celebrate a major event – we’re about to deal our 500 millionth hand!
We’re hosting series of events to commemorate this milestone, with $200,000 in cash, and prizes. Here’s what we have planned:

The "Getting Close" hands. We’re counting down to hand 500 million. If you’re dealt into hands 499,000,000, 499,100,000, 499,200,000, 499,300,000, 499,400,000, 499,500,000, 499,600,000, 499,700,000, 499,800,000, 499,900,000 in one of our cash ring games, you win $500. If you win the main pot in this hand you will receive $500 and a seat in the WCOOP main event (worth $2,600) - a total of $3,100. If the main pot is shared by more than one player, the award will be split between them equally (credited in W$).
The 500,000,000 hand. Every player who’s dealt into our 500 millionth hand in a cash ring game wins $1,000 plus a free entry into WCOOP championship event. And if you win the main pot in this hand, you win $9,000 more - a total of $10,000, plus a free entry to each of the WCOOP events, valued over $7,500, a total value of $17,500. If the main pot is shared by more than one player, the award will be split between them equally (credited in W$).
$100,000 FPP Freeroll. On Saturday, June 26, at 2:30 PM ET, use 500 of your Frequent Player Points (FPPs) to enter a $100,000 No Limit MegaTourney. This event is limited to first 5,000 players, with registration opening 3 hours prior to the tournament start time.
To qualify for any of the prizes for 11 milestone hands, you must collect at least 10 (yes, just 10) Frequent Player Points between Thursday, June 17, 4:00 PM Eastern Time, and the time you are dealt into the milestone hand.

I am not affiliated with PokerStars in any way other than being a regular player there.Thought I would pass this info on to fellow Zooer's.


Play well,
