tbvle wins $56,140 with PokerStars' 50 billionth hand - PokerStars Poker Blog
Oh my. We knew it would be big, but even we were surprised at the intensity of the 50 Billion Hand climax. As the moment drew near, there were 220,000 people on PokerStars playing on 33,000 tables, all hoping to win the milestone hand. Of that lot, it was player tbvle who bagged the jackpot.
At 10.37am( ET) on September 22, 2010, tbvle collected $56,140 for winning the 50 billionth hand ever dealt on PokerStars.
That's an incredible return for one hand at Ornamenta (fast), the $0.02/$0.05 NL Hold'em cash table where the hand took place. As Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier pointed out in the chat box, the $26 pot for the winning hand was 'not too shabby' for these stakes, either! Also happy were the other five players at the table, who each scooped between $2,990 and $3,070 just for being there, a sum based on the number of VIP Player Points they had amassed at the table over the previous 50 hands.
And for good measure, PokerStars threw in a $5,200 WCOOP Main Event ticket for everyone at the table as well.
