50 Billionth Hand Fast Approaching at PokerStars
September 16, 2010
PokerStars online poker giant is fast approaching their monumental 50 billionth dealt hand and has a massive promotion to go along with it. Expected to fall some time near the close of this month, there are a lot of prizes to be won by they who are dealt it. What makes this even more exciting though, is that there’s no set prize value on the hand. The players who are dealt into the 50 billionth hand will win cash in direct relation to how many VIP points they’ve earned. Established cash values will also be awarded to all the participants in the game with the winner of the hand receiving the highest prize.
Each player who is dealt into the hand will earn $500. Also for each VIP Player Point each player has been awarded in the 50 previous hands, he/she will receive $500. Meaning if 5 VPPs had been earned in the last 50 hands, that player will get $2,000. In addition to the $500 and $500 per VPP, the hand winner will earn $50K! And these are straight up cash payouts that can be directly withdrawn from your player account immediately—not bonuses that you have to clear.
Also, a special tournament will take place on September 26, the World Championship of Online Poker. Each player dealt into the 50 billionth hand will get to play in that tournament.
Another facet of the 50 billionth hand promo is the Sit N Go tourneys running through September 25th. Another $50K will be awarded to the SNG event winner. These tourneys range in buy-in from $1.10 up to $55 and can accommodate up to 50 players. Other opportunities to benefit from PokerStars’ 50 billionth hand promotions include the Mega Milestone and specially designated freerolls. Don’t miss the chance to walk away with your piece of the $1 million in cash prizes that they’ll be giving away this month at PokerStars.
Instant Win Promo at Party Poker: Card Rush XL
June 24, 2010
Coming back June 28th, Party Poker’s Card Rush XL instant win promo promises to award players with 1.8 million prize cards in their massive scratch card event. For every 15 Party Points you collect playing real money poker online at Party Poker, you’ll earn a chance to scratch and win. Your first card will be awarded to you at only 5 points, though. You can earn up to 50 cards per day, which equates to 750 Party Points.
A spokesman for Party Poker says, “To get things started in style, we’ll be giving away the first Card Rush XL card on the 28th June for just five points. All you have to do is earn the points, visit your account and scratch the card to reveal your prize. You can collect up to 50 Card Rush XL cards on every day of the promotion, but once we’ve given away 1.8 million prizes, that’s it. At only 15 points per card, they’ll be snapped up fast so make sure you don’t miss out on your share.”
Possible prizes include more Party Points, entry into freerolls, and cash. You can also compete on the Card Rush XL Leaderboard that will award three top prizes—one of three $10K luxury travel packages to the Italian Grand Prix, the 2010 Ryder Cup, and the Major League Baseball World Series (or accept a cash alternative of $7,500). Leaderboard places 4 through 10 will win varying cash amounts from $2,000 up to $6,000. Leaderboard spots 11 through 2,000 will also have the chance to win major cash prizes.
The seven freeroll tournaments will run from August 5th through August 8th and will take place at 13:30 ET with guaranteed prize pools ranging from $2,000 to $50,000.
Everest Poker Celebrates their WSOP Victory
November 13, 2009
Antoine Saout was one of the 2009 November Nine players. He is also the first player to represent Everest Poker to ever make it to the final table of the WSOP Main Event which gives the online poker room reason to celebrate.
Saout did not manage to make it all the way to victory at the final table but just to be one of the final nine players of the WSOP main event is a great achievement. For the online poker site Everest Poker it was an even greater success as Saout qualified via their satellites and was wearing their clothing at the final table which is the best kind of advertising you can get in the poker world.
At the final table Saout knocked out Jeff Schulman and manged to finish better than the poker star Phil Ivey.
At Everest Poker they are starting to celebrate this as from today with a series of freerolls in the honor of Antoine Saout.
This is what Everest Poker had to say in their weekly newsletter:
Starting the on the 12th of November we are going to celebrate Antoine Saout’s achievment in the 2009 WWSOP during a whole week. Antoine’s win is also a win for you, win extra money by playing in our $1000 “Congratulations Antoine” freerolls every day at 19:00 GMT.
For those of you who did not get a chance to make it to the World Series of Poker this year we suggest that you check out this 2010 WSOP schedule and start planning for next year. The Cake Poker Network are soon going to start their WSOP satellites for next year so make sure to have your account ready.
