This challenge is a very good one for the very good ring games players for the one at 100 hands IMO these kind of players could do this pretty easy.
However The other one 1K hands in zoom i think would be pretty hard to achieve and very profitable to stars if many players are trying the both challenges.

I think its a small ROI these two new promotions, like the one now on partypoker, some new card promo, i really could not quite figure out, im supposed to make 5 point on party casino on rulette blackjack or slots which i did, btw almost lost half my bankroll doing it, till i played roulette and got them back and then some but, no card still, i check to see tomorrow if i have, mb there is some kind of 24 hours till they give u one, or simply i cant find it But the point is, is not worth the bother

Today I did the promotion of 100 hands played and the prize I got was a ticket for an all-in 10K, my father also made the promotion and gave the same prize. I still think that new promotions PokerStars is bad and only benefit them

finished both got couple of All-in shootout tickets as usual today is different .. you need to play 4 MTTs and cash in one which i find pretty easy to achieve i don't know why i keep chasing those challenges even though everytime i get nothing or bad prizes maybe i just wanna have a chance to win that 100K

well yesterday I menaged to complete only silver, didnt want to play 1k zoom hands of NL10, I went to play some spins got ticket for that silver. Today I finished both challenges and I was in profit, and also won tickets hope I will win something from those tickets
Won $5 in the silver challenge and cashed in a time tournament for the gold challenge got an Allin shootout ticket today's Chris Moneymaker challenge play seven spin n go's with minimum $1 buy in did that won an all in ticket the gold challenge a lot harder cash in seven sit n goes won't bother so far up $10 on this promotion good luck.
That's kind of the problem with Amaya's promotionss lately. You have to be lucky to make any profit with them. I think they should just do more deposit bonuses. These challenges are just an obvious way of making people with bad bankroll management go broke chasing objectives for a 1$ profit
But that's just my opinion, I'm sure cash game grinders are happy to have this. It's better than nothing.

i finished every promotion so far got 5$ twice and the rest all tickets they tend to make them harder than usual but still small prizes pokerstars need to up their prize .. 10K all-in shootout tournament is small considering you need to wager money
