Thursday marked a day for the record books for PokerStars, as the online poker giant celebrated its 100 billionth hand. On top of that, The 100 Billion Hand Promotion, which began June 7th, has paid out over $2 million to players on PokerStars. While it was a momentous event, the party isn’t over! PokerStars will continue to run the promotion through June and offer players other chances to win extra prize money.
On Sunday, PokerStars will run the World Record Tournament and try to break the record for the largest ever tournament, featuring a $1 buy-in and a $300,000 guaranteed prize pool, with $25,000 promised to the winner. For more info, click here.
The Golden Sit & Go’s promotion will run from June 17 to June 23. PokerStars aims to $1 million in prizes, offering three different levels of rewards.
1. 2x the prize pool and 2 buy-ins per player
2. 4x the prize pool and 4 buy-ins per player
3. 10x the prize pool and 10 buy-ins per player
To enter, simply register for any standard real money Sit & Go starting between 00:00 ET on June 17 and 23:59 ET on June 23 for your chance to play in a Golden Sit & Go. You’ll be informed by an on-screen notification and the table will change to a special Golden Sit & Go theme if you are one of the lucky few. For more info, click here.
The Zoom 100 promotion offers a $1 million guaranteed $109 Zoom tournament on June 23. First place is promised to be at least $100,000.
The Zoom and Boom, running from June 24 to June 30, offers players at Zoom No Limit Hold’em tables (any stakes) the opportunity to earn cash rewards by winning a pot post-flop with the same hand (including suits) as the one that the three Team PokerStars Pros choose as their favorite.
