dna4ever 2 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 This is 25 billionth ring hand only or are tourneys included? Just wondering.I don't know 100%, but I THINK it is ring hands since only ring hands qualify for the milestone hands which leads one to believe the tourny hands are not figured in the calculation Link to post Share on other sites
Lrgetrout 1 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 If I remember correctly, once they get really close to a milestone hand, tournament hands get a very short delay (so short you might blame lag instead) to ensure that the milestone hand is dealt to a ring game table.

ice4804 0 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Any approximations as to when the 25 billionth hand will be dealt? Link to post Share on other sites
HighwayStar 8 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Any approximations as to when the 25 billionth hand will be dealt?During the world record week there were about 40 milestone hands a day so that'd be 40 million hands. Given we're at 2484000000 that'd be about 4 days I think. So Late Monday/Early Tuesday. Could be way off here. Link to post Share on other sites

bbgun 0 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 With the focus of the 25 Billion Bash being on the 25 Billionth Hand we deal, it is only right that we award the biggest prizes of all to the players who participate in this historic hand. The winner of the 25 Billionth Hand will be awarded a staggering $100,000 cash prize, as well as ALL of the following; an EPT Monte Carlo package, a PokerStars Caribbean Adventure package, a World Series main event package and a WCOOP Main Event ticket. All in all, the winner of the 25 Billionth Hand dealt on PokerStars will claim a prize worth more than $150,000! Is that all? Link to post Share on other sites

My Bank of America cc doesn't approve the foreign transaction (curse you UIGEA)I want free money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!email support@pokerstars.com and request a larger echeck deposit limit. This is the response I just recieved. Thank you for your email. As a way to alleviate the pressure on our security department forgranting deposit limit increase requests we can offer the opportunity toapply the bonus for two separate deposits. Thus, when you have made your second deposit, please respond to THISemail and we will manually apply your bonus to the full amount of yourtwo deposits. The reason for this is that the daily limit for eCheck is $600 on itsbasic level, and the weekly is $1000. Thus if you make a deposit today,you can make a deposit for the remainder of the amount tomorrow. If you despite of this want a deposit bonus increase, please let us knowand we will look into it. Please note that for this to be possible weneed to wait for your most recent deposit to clear. To view the statusof when your eCheck deposits will be clear on our system, just click onthe 'Uncleared Deposits' link that will be shown in the PokerStarsCashier after you make any eCheck deposits. Also know that granting yourdeposit increase request might take a couple of days due to the largeamount of requests we are currently receiving. Please remember to respond to this email when you have made your seconddeposit, so that we can manually apply your 25% up to $250 bonus for our25'th Billion Hand Promotion. Good luck at the tables!
