PokerStrategist Wins 50 Billionth Hand on PokerStars

PokerStars has just dealt its 50 billionth hand and German PokerStrategist tbvle managed to win it at an NL 5 table, cashing a total of $56,140.

On September 22, 14:37 GMT, PokerStars dealt hand number 50,000,000,000. According to the poker room, there were around 220,000 players at the time, sitting at 33,000 tables.

One lucky table had the honour of dealing this special hand and it was a PokerStrategy.com community member who took it down.

Five-digit win at NL 5

German PokerStrategist tbvle was sitting at that particular table when the milestone hand was dealt - it was a No Limit $5 short-handed table.

Not only did he play this anniversary hand, but he also managed to win it, pocketing a massive $56,140, or 11,228 full buy-ins for NL 5. All six players went all in pre-flop and our PokerStrategist held a pair of queens, enough for him to scoop the jackpot. Congratulations, tbvle! Please stick to solid bankroll management.

The other five players dealt into the hand have been awarded a $5,200 ticket for the WCOOP Main Event on September 26.
