Mystery surrounds PokerStars 70th billion hand celebration

[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**

Very good point!! Wow was PS that naive, did they have a counter, there must have been some kind of promo. Yikes.

the winner of the hand is awarded almost $70,000 more ... if they were heads up and the small blind got 7 2 and folded ... then he saw he only got $1700 instead of over $70,000 dont you think he would feel awful not even trying to play all in for $50-100 with 7 2 to try to win over $70,000. pokerstars should tell them it is the hand and they did.
