Online Texas Hold ‘Em poker has been a huge hit in recent times and one of the world’s most popular online casinos, Poker Stars is about to deal the 25,000,000,000th hand in online poker. This just speaks to the calibre of hands that are being played on an hourly basis. Just 18 months prior to this occasion Poker Stars was very happy and pleased to announce that they had dealt the 10 billionth hand in poker on their online poker site at the time.

To celebrate their momentous occasion PokerStars.com online casino has dedicated several promotions in an effort to create excitement around the circumstances. The regular Sunday tournaments such as the Sunday warm up and the Sunday Million Dollar tournament are being increased to a prize pool of 2.5 Million from half of that amount which is usually set to 1.25 Million.

Also, if you are a lucky player that is dealt a millionth and some hand while the countdown to the 25 billionth hand continues you will automatically win a cash prize depending on the table limit that you are playing at the time and your level of VIP status. So a player that is playing at 5-10 limit and a high VIP level has the opportunity to win $7500 just for simply playing their regular game and being at the right place in the right time so to speak.

And this wouldn’t be an occasion if there wasn’t a promotion for winning the 25 billionth hand. No matter what limit the player is playing at, the one to win this milestone hand will take home a whopping $100,000 and entries into 3 of the most desired poker tournaments that will be happening this year.
