PokerStars’ 95 Billionth Hand Due to Hit Within 48 Hours

PokerStars’ Road to the 100 Billionth Hand promotion has players going into a frenzy every few months or so. The last major milestone hand was the 90 billionth one, which fell last November, making quite a few players at a $1/$2
NL Holdem table extremely happy and quite a bit richer.
The upcoming Mega Milestone hand is the 95 billionth one, which is due to hit within 48 hours, considering the current pace of the action as
PokerStars’ cash game tables. Of course, there will be quite a few thousand players reading news like this all over the Internet, which means that the pace is likely to gather some additional momentum, thus hastening the approach of the milestone event.
The interesting thing about the 95 billionth hand will be that every single one of the players dealt into it will walk away with at least $10,000. Those interested in taking part in the hunt for the 95 billionth hand jackpot, should log on to PokerStars and start playing away at their cash game tables right away. The reason for the urgency is a simple one: every single VPP that players earn will add quite a bit to their possible milestone hand payout. For those who like multi-tabling, the time to pull out all stops is now.
Unfortunately, Zoom Poker tables do not qualify for the promotion, which means that hardcore grinders addicted to these fast folding tables won't be able to take advantage of the skills they acquired there.
The winner of the 19 billionth hand, “m1sspiggy”, took home a $66,380 prize last November. The smallest payout at the table was a $14,770 haul that ended up in the possession of a player known as “carambaWOW”. The prize-pool totaled more than $229,000.
