Big Deal for Poker Stars

February 24, 2009

Pokerstars.com is more than pleased to announce that they have just played their 25th billionth hand at their poker website. The site is easily the world’s largest poker website, and they are consistently looking for ways to break records and entertain their clients at the same time – and now they have broken yet another poker industry record. As of February 16th the poker site has played 25 billion hands of poker.

The poker site has been gearing up for the fact that they were going to hit the milestone, and players have been hitting the site in droves hoping to be a part of that record setting hand. They are running various promotions and cash awards on the different tables leading up to that one big poker hand, with prizes ranging anywhere from $300 to $2,500 for their high roller tables.

On the site on Monday you could tell that there was a big deal amidst all of the poker players, as more and more logged on to get their share of additional cash prizes and to be a part of this record breaking event. Those players that were on the poker site when the actual hand was dealt were able to be part of a six handed $1/$2 Limit Omaha High-Low table.

Those that were on the table when the poker hand was dealt had a chance at winning a $100,000 account credit, as well as sponsored seats at four major online and land poker tournaments.
