Thankfully however, Pokerstars has a new February promotion to celebrate dealing their 40 billionth hand. They've done a similar promotion before, paying out bonus money to the players dealt into each millionth hand leading up to 40 billion. Lucky for me, I was dealt into hand #39,613,000,000. For winning the hand, you receive double the bonus money, the base amount calculated by $40x the number of VPPs you have earned at that table in the previous 40 hands. Unfortunately for me, I had only been at the table for something like 10-14 hands before the hand was dealt, and thus my bonus amount was rather small. On the positive, I won the hand making a pretty sick call. In addition to the pot, I was awarded $333.60 (had I not won the hand it would have been $188.60). Here's the HH. Main villain is a bad FPP pro reg whom obviously is very much aware of the promo. Despite there being a large banner announcement to the table and the action pausing for a solid 2 minutes before the hand, I'm sure a few of the awful SSers at the table weren't aware of the milestone (or they surely would have shoved pre with ATC, not doing so is completely awful by them).
