It was not too long ago that Poker Stars was an upstart online poker site that had no reputation outside of the internet, but it is often the case in the online world that things can change overnight. Ever since 2006 they have been the industry player to beat in online poker and now that their journey has inched closer towards 100 billion hands, they are really in a position to make an impressive amount of online poker history.

Along the way there will be many different pit stops that are just as interesting at the time though and the one that is coming up within the next couple of days is the 60 billionth hand. This promotion started when Poker Stars got to 59.7 billion hands and ever since that point in time it has seen a new promotion given out to players that have played in each millionth hand from that point on. Overall, this means that 300 different sets of prizes will be given out over the course of the hands that are dealt and once those are out of the way it is possible for the grand prize to be given in the hand as well.

The 60 billionth hand at Poker Stars will actually see this online poker website hand out a cool million dollars in cash to the players that are lucky enough to be a part of it. Furthermore, the winner of the hand is guaranteed to get at least $60,000 in cold hard cash, an amount of money that can make a difference in just about anyone’s life.

With that kind of money available potentially, it is no wonder whatsoever that Poker Stars is the place to be right now. They will be the place to be 300 million hands before each ten billion mark as well as this promotion will restart at 69.7 billion for the 70 billionth hand and so on up to 100 billion hands. What Poker Stars will do at that point in time to truly make a splash beyond their current promotions is anyone’s guess, but there is no doubt whatsoever that it will be a day to remember when it comes.
