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

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.
