Now, the 90 billionth party is done, but, unlike most parties, you don't have to go home. In fact, you should stay right here. If the math holds, PokerStars will likely deal its 95 billiionth hand sometime in February, and then will reach the end of the Road to 100 Billion sometime in May.

wow just amazing luck- to win the tournament is one thing: you have to sweat for several hours, be lucky & skillful too, deal with nerves etc. but to win the "jackpot" it totally different: you just have to be lucky enough to sit at the lucky table...yeah u have to win the lucky hand too- but even if u dont, u still walk away with some cash for no work from your side...

Posted by nipitiri3: wow nie winnnings at least jackpot didint go to 2 cent table
Of course !! they are doing business !not donor If 2 cent have same chance why play $ 2 ? That's also mean if we no have bigger capital we just have smaller chance That's universe doing. FAIR enough, right ?

Hey what a result even being able to find a table was hard enough. All the very low stake NLH games were full with big waiting lists around an hour before the 90 millionth hand. I was there playing FL and won a nice little stack then when 5pm GMT hit with the big hand, everyone cleared out! Well done misspiggy

When the hand ticker eventually hit the magic milestone it was $1/$2 six-max table "Ornamenta" that enjoyed a moment of calm before the celebrations began.
A succession of all-ins pushed the pot up to $1,688, but it was the lion's share of $229,630 that everyone had their eye on. After the flop rolled out: Qh7h9c4s5d and the dust settled it was "m1sspiggy" who held a winning two pair with 7c4c.
Messages of congratulations filled the chat box as the mid-stakes grinder banked a total of $66,380, leaving the rest of the table to bank at least $14,000 each.

One of the big dreams of PS players has become true, at least for six of them. Taking in consideration the hundreads of thousands they are, there are still more disapointed players than happy ones, but this is like playing on the lotery, if you haven't played than you can't cry for not having won. Nice prize, and this time everyone played the hand!
