PokerStars 25 Billionth Hand Bash Promotion

Friday, February 13th, 2009

Pokerstars is close to dealing it’s 25 Billionth hand and because of this monumentus milestone, PokerStars is having a huge promotion called the 25 Billion Bash!  The poker promotion involves many rewards for players including milestone hands, a reload bonus, the mega milestone hand and more!

Milestone Hands
Every millionth hand, starting from 24.5 billion, PokerStars is giving away cash prizes to the winners and the players dealt into the hands.  The bigger the limit you are playing at the bigger the prize will be.  At the micro limits the winner of a milestone hand wins $300, whereas if you play the high limits and win a milestone hand you would receive $2500.

25% Reload Bonus
PokerStars is also offering at 25% reload bonus to all players.  This is a very rare thing for PokerStars to offer reload bonuses, so rare in fact that this is the biggest reload bonus PokerStars has ever offered.  You should take advantage while you can and make your deposit now.  The bonus is a 25% matching bonus up to $250.

Mega Milestone Hand
The 25 Billionth hand at PokerStars is going to be one to remember.  Over $250K will be given away just on one hand of poker.  The winner receives a prize package of over $150K which includes $100,000 in cash as well as packages to the EPT Final, the WSOP, the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and the World Championships of Online Poker main event.  All other players that were dealt into the hand split $100K.

Those are the main parts of the 25 Billion Bash put on by PokerStars, but we shouldn’t forget that Stars is also having $60K in new depositors freerolls for the days leading up to the 25 billionth hand.  They are also increasing the Sunday Million and Sunday Warm-Up guaranteed prize pools so to coincide with the “25″ theme.  The Sunday Million will have a guarantee of $2.5M and the Sunday Warm-Up of $1,250,000 on Sunday February 15th. 

This is a perfect time to sign up at PokerStars or deposit to take advantage of the bonuses.  Or you could just try to play more ring games and hope for the best!  It would be quite the lottery, but somebody has to win it.
