PokerStars will be dealing its 100 billionth hand some time between 4pm and 6pm EST today. The hand will be dealt at a non-Zoom cash game table.
The winner of the hand will receive a minimum cash prize of $100k and all the other players at the table who are dealt in will receive $10k. In addition each player will receive $2k for every VIP Player Point (VPP) they have earned in the last 50 hands at that table.
A total of $5m is being spent by PokerStars on cash giveaways for the celebrations of what is by any standard a remarkable achievement. The 100 billionth hand will, in total, distribute $1m dollars in free cash. After the winner and the players at that table have been paid, every other player sat at the same table type—number of players, game type and stakes—will share in the remainder of the $1m.
The Road to 100 Billion promotion has provided PokerStars with such a surge in traffic that it may well have paid for itself.
