Full Tilt Poker’s Big Little Tournament

PokerStars 40 Billion Hands

It’s taken only eight years for the world’s largest online poker room to reach an amazing milestone – PokerStars is getting set to deal its 40 billionth hand! To celebrate this incredible achievement, PokerStars is celebrating with a special promotion called F40.

F40 is PokerStars way of thanking all of their players who had a hand (literally) in getting to 40 billion dealt hands.

Here is how F40 works:

TOURNAMENTS

On Sunday, February 21 at 16:30 ET, there will be a special Sunday Million 4th Anniversary Edition with $4 million guaranteed prize pool and a first prize of at least $1 million
 
On Sunday, February 14 at 14:30 ET PokerStars is hosting a $40 tourney with a $1 million guarantee

PokerStars is holding eight special tournaments over an eight day period from February 14-21, each with a 40 FPP buy-in and $40,000 prize pool!

SIT & GOs

From February 14-21, there will be 40-man Super Sit & Go tourneys with buy-ins of $1.10, $11, $22 and $55. All Super Sit & Go first place finishers will receive an extra cash prize at the end of the promotion: a share of a $40,000 prize pot. There will be one $40,000 prize pot for each Super Sit & Go buy-in level, for a total of $160,000!

VIPs

PokerStars is offering a one-per-customer $40 instant cash credit, which you can purchase for 2,500 FPPs. You will find it in the VIP Store until the end of the F40 celebrations on February 21.

Cash Games

F40: Milestone Hands
There will be cash prizes across all PokerStars cash game tables in the days leading up to the 40 billion Mega Milestone hand. Players dealt into every millionth hand will win a cash prize of $40 for every VPP they earned in the previous 40 hands played on that table. Because PokerStars wants everyone to be a winner,an extra VPP will be awarded to all players dealt in – this means you’ll win a minimum of at least $40. The winner of the hand will also get their cash prize doubled!
