I say kudos too them. If anyone is willing to go to that extreme to get an advantage I say good for them.

I know that Poker Stars is one of the hardest on playing by the rules, only site I know that really has Mods. that respond within minutes to a table when there are complaints. These people will loose all that money and any other they have there, would be my guess.

I am sure that PS will react, because if this is right, it was collusion.

[bmeelneg]

its a little shady what they did but not totally shady ... they found a little edge and worked the system

they played within how the rules are written ... they can fold hands and play hu 24 tables

ethically and in the spirit of the game ... pretty douchey

[Sparkie]

Agreed - collusion between the two players for one goal - to fold hands until milestone hand was achieved. This obviously gave them an edge, but not a guarantee win. Can't imagine they will receive the prize money.

Here's a question that no one else has asked... How did they know it was the 70 billionth hand? Was PS really stupid enough to announce to them that it was the 70 billionth hand just as the cards were dealt instead of after-wards? I see the collusion aspect, but I am guessing that if these two people had this idea... so did thousands of other people doing the same thing. **SIGH**
