let's try this, since it looks like linkeee not there in op,lol





Win big by celebrating 40 billion hands dealt!

It’s milestone time again at PokerStars this February, and this one is huge - 40 billion hands dealt! This means you can expect tons of exciting cash game prizes and great value tournaments - including the biggest ever Sunday Million - plus loads more.
PokerStars could never have reached this incredible landmark without our players, so F40 is our way of thanking the millions of you who helped us get there. There are millions of dollars to play for, including multi-table tournaments with huge guarantees, milestone hand rewards in cash games leading up to the 40 billion Mega Milestone, Super Sit & Go’s, First Depositor Freerolls and a special VIP Club instant cash credit. This is F40, and it doesn’t get much bigger than this.
Read on to find out how to take part, or use the links below to jump straight to the F40 promotion you are looking for.
Cash Games

F40: Milestone Hands

There will be cash prizes across all our cash game tables in the days leading up to the 40 billion Mega Milestone hand. Players dealt into every millionth hand will win a cash prize of $40 for every VPP they earned in the previous 40 hands played on that table. Because PokerStars wants everyone to be a winner, an extra VPP will be awarded to all players dealt in - this means you’ll win a minimum of at least $40. The winner of the hand will also get their cash prize doubled!
Example:
You are playing at a $1/$2 table and get dealt into a milestone hand. PokerStars calculates that in the last 40 hands at that table you have earned 31 VPPs. Add that to the extra VPP that all players dealt in are awarded, and you have a total of 32 VPPs. This means you’ll win $1,280 (32 x $40). Go on to win the hand and this will be doubled to $2,560 (2 x $1,280).
When the big 40 billion Mega Milestone is reached, all players dealt in will be rewarded $400 for every VPP earned in the previous 40 hands (calculated same as above, including the bonus VPP for all players dealt in). The winner of the Mega Milestone will also have their prize money doubled - which could mean a grand total of tens of thousands of dollars!
Example:
Using the same scenario as above, you’d now win $12,800 for being dealt into the 40 billionth hand (32 x $400). Win the hand and this will be doubled to $25,600.
Please Note: In the event of a split pot - if the hand is a tie or the game being played is Hi/Lo - all winners of the hand will have their prize money doubled. This applies only to the main pot in the hand, as side pots are not included.
Multi-Table Tournaments (MTTs)

PokerStars is the home of tournament poker, so it’s only right then that F40 should include an incredible schedule of big-money events. Here’s what’s in store:
F40: Sunday Million $4,000,000 guaranteed!

In a joint celebration with the 4th anniversary of the Sunday Million, we’ll be boosting the prize pool to an incredible $4,000,000 on February 21 - that’s the biggest ever prize pool and includes at least $1,000,000 for first place!
The tournament takes place at 16:30 ET and has a buy-in of $215. Satellites will be available all week, starting from just a few dollars.
F40: $40 Micro Million $1,000,000 guaranteed tournament

There’ll be a special F40 tournament taking place at 14:30 ET on Sunday, February 14. For a buy-in of just $40 you can play for your share of a guaranteed $1,000,000 prize pool.
F40: 40 FPP - $40,000 Specials

You can also play in a series of special F40 FPP tournaments. Each has a buy-in of only 40 FPPs and a prize pool of $40,000. Start times will alternate between 13:40 ET & 21:40 ET each day.
To register for the Sunday Million or any of the other F40 tournaments, open the PokerStars lobby, click ‘Tourney’ & ‘Special’.
Back to Top
Sit & Go’s

F40: Super Sit & Go Tournaments

For Sit & Go players there will be a series of special 40-man Super Sit & Go tournaments running 24/7 from February 14-21 across a range of buy-in levels that suit all players and bankrolls: $1.10, $11, $22, $55. The winner of every tournament gets a slice of $40,000, shared out between all the winners at each buy-in level.
Keep a look out for the F40 Super Sit & Go’s in the PokerStars lobby by clicking ‘Sit & Go’ and ‘All’.
Example:
Over the course of F40, there are 953 Super Sit & Go’s completed at the $11 level. Win one and you’ll get $41.97 ($40,000/953). Go on to win four of these and you’ll get a share of the prize pool for all of them - that’s $167.88 (4 x $41.97). All of the Super Sit & Go cash prizes will be paid by February 23, once all prize calculations are completed.
F40: First Depositor Freerolls

All play money players can win cash with the PokerStars F40 freerolls. Simply make your first real money deposit using the deposit code ‘F40’ and you’ll be awarded a ticket to all 40 of our special free-to-enter tournaments running February 14-21 - each with a $1,000 prize pool!
The First Depositor Freerolls take place daily at 08:40 ET, 12:40 ET, 15:40 ET, 19:40 ET & 22:40 ET.
VIP Club

The best online poker VIP Club is also getting a piece of the F40 action. For the duration of the promotion, you can get an instant $40 cash credit for only 2,500 FPPs - no matter what VIP level you are! It’s a great way to give your bankroll a boost, and then use it to play in other F40 events.
Please Note: Only one cash credit available per player.
See the F40 Terms & Conditions page for more details about this promotion.
Contact support@pokerstars.com if you have any questions about F40.

Yeah...it was a fight to get on to those 0.01/0.02 tables. I guess they're doing it this way to prevent people just joining a bunch of tables close to the promo hand.

There were others at the table that folded out!

They were playing at a 2/4 NLHE I believe.

It was K10 winning against KJ and K5. Turned the 10 with the 3rd 7 on the river for the boat. Besides one of the 3 idiots that folded might have had 27 (aka worst hand) and won with quads.
