PokerStars F40 - Win big by celebrating 40 billion hands dealt!

 It's milestone time again at PokerStars this February, and this one is huge - 40 billion hands dealt! This means you can expect tons of exciting cash game prizes and great value tournaments - including the biggest ever Sunday Million - plus loads more.

PokerStars could never have reached this incredible landmark without our players, so F40 is our way of thanking the millions of you who helped us get there. There are millions of dollars to play for, including multi-table tournaments with huge guarantees, milestone hand rewards in cash games leading up to the 40 billion Mega Milestone, Super Sit & Go's, First Depositor Freerolls and a special VIP Club instant cash credit. This is F40, and it doesn't get much bigger than this.

F40 Milestone Hands

There will be cash prizes across all our cash game tables in the days leading up to the 40 billion Mega Milestone hand. Players dealt into every millionth hand will win a cash prize of $40 for every VPP they earned in the previous 40 hands played on that table. Because PokerStars wants everyone to be a winner, an extra VPP will be awarded to all players dealt in - this means you'll win a minimum of at least $40. The winner of the hand will also get their cash prize doubled!

NOTE:The Milestone Hands will begin with hand number 39,601,000,000 and end with hand 40,000,000,000.

Example

You are playing at a $1/$2 table and get dealt into a milestone hand. PokerStars calculates that in the last 40 hands at that table you have earned 31 VPPs. Add that to the extra VPP that all players dealt in are awarded, and you have a total of 32 VPPs. This means you'll win $1,280 (32 x $40). Go on to win the hand and this will be doubled to $2,560 (2 x $1,280).

When the big 40 billion Mega Milestone is reached, all players dealt in will be rewarded $400 for every VPP earned in the previous 40 hands (calculated same as above, including the bonus VPP for all players dealt in). The winner of the Mega Milestone will also have their prize money doubled - which could mean a grand total of tens of thousands of dollars!  

Multi-Table Tournaments (MTTs)

PokerStars is the home of tournament poker, so it's only right then that F40 should include an incredible schedule of big-money events. Here's what's in store:
