PokerStars 40th Billion Hand Celebrations
It only seems like yesterday that Pokerstars had a player base of 2 men and a sheep, and now look at it, 150,000 players online 24/7 and rapidly approaching 40 Billion hands played.
To celebrate this milestone Pokerstars have loads of things going on including a $4 million guaranteed tournament this coming Sunday, with $1 million of that guaranteed for the winner.
There are also special F40 SNGs (you see them in pink in the SNG lobby) which are 40-seaters. Every winner during this week shares in a $40,000 prize.
