Read on to find out how to take part, or use the links below to jump straight to the 50 Billion promotion you are looking for.
Cash Games 50 Billion: Milestone Hands
There will be
cash prizes across all our cash game tables
starting around September 16 and culminating in the 50 billion
Mega Milestone hand. Players dealt into every
millionth hand will win a cash prize of
$50 for every VPP they earned in the previous 50 hands played on
that table. All players dealt in will receive a base prize of
$50, and any player that wins a portion of the main pot will also get their cash prize
doubled!
NOTE: The Milestone Hands will begin with hand number 49,700,000,000 and end with hand 50,000,000,000.
Example:
You play for half an hour on a $1/$2 NLHE table. You play 53 hands in this time and are then dealt into a milestone hand. The system will look at the most recent 50 hands that you’ve played at that table and calculate the number of VPPs earned. In this instance, you earned 31 VPPs, so the prize will be: 31 * $50 + $50 = $1600. If you go on to win the hand, you’ll receive $3,200.
When the big
50 Billion Mega Milestone is reached, all players dealt in will be rewarded
$500 for every VPP earned in the previous 50 hands (calculated same as above, including the base prize of $500 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!
In addition to these prizes, everyone dealt into the hand will receive an entry to the
$5,200 WCOOP Main Event on September 26. The winner of the hand will also receive
$50,000.
In the event of a split pot (either from a tied hand or from a split pot game) all winners will receive a share of the $50,000 proportional to their share of the main pot of the hand.
Back to Top Sit & Go’s 50 Billion: Super Sit & Go Tournaments
For Sit & Go players there will be five special
50-man Super Sit & Go tournaments running
24/7 from September 10-25 across a range of buy-in levels that suit all players and bankrolls:
$1.10,
$5.50,
$11,
$22,
$55. The winner of every tournament gets a slice of
$50,000, shared out between all the winners at each buy-in level.
Keep a look out for the 50 Billion Super Sit & Go’s in the PokerStars lobby by clicking ‘
Sit & Go’ and ‘
All’.
Example:
Over a 7 day period, there are 1,000 winners at the $1.10 level. This means each winner will receive $50,000 / 1000 = $5. A player who manages to win 5 of these tourneys, would earn 5 shares of the prize pool (5 x $5 = $25).
The Super Sit & Go prizes will be paid out by September 27.
