Billionth Hand Nears on Titan Poker
Apr 10, 2008By: Jennifer Newell The exciting times at Titan Poker just keep getting better. Amidst a flurry of prize packages being given away to send players to poker tournaments around the world, the site is also approaching the deal of its billionth poker hand. And to celebrate with the players who made it happen, more than $350,000 is being awarded in the process.
Recently, the 950 millionth hand was dealt on Titan Poker, and the countdown to the celebration of one billion hands began. “We want all of our players to be a part of this race,” a Titan spokesperson said, “because without their loyal game play we wouldn’t be reaching this landmark event.”
There are several ways to cash in on the momentous occasion. First, Titan Poker is monitoring countdown hands in order to dole out bonuses. Countdown hands are the ones that happen every 200,000 hands after the 950 million. After that hand has taken place, players that participated in the hand will be notified that they will split the prize money for being involved in a countdown hand. For micro-stakes players, the prize will be $65, low stakes $250, medium stakes $1000, and high stakes will be $3500.
Second, jackpot hand bonuses will be awarded every 5 million hands. When each 5 millionth hand is dealt and played, the participants in that hand will split a sizable cash prize. Micro-stakes prizes will be $250, low-stakes $1000, medium-stakes $4000, and high-stakes will be $14,000. In addition, the winners of the jackpot hands will receive tickets to ECOOP events.
Third, the players who are in the right place at the right time – and playing the hand – when the billionth hand has completed will be entitled to an amazing cash prize. The winner of that hand will receive $50,000 and tickets to all ECOOP events (valued at $3420 total), and the other players involved in the hand will split $30,000.
Lastly, all players who participated the last 100 hands leading up to the billionth one will be qualified to participate in a freeroll tournament with a prize pool of $10,000. And since the winner of the billionth hand will be participating as well, there will be a $2500 bounty on his/her head.
There is no doubt that now is the time to play on Titan Poker. Not only is the billionth hand promotion in progress, but there are qualifiers running daily for seats in tournaments like the 2008 World Series of Poker and others. In addition, the ECOOP II is running satellites for its major online series that will run from May 23rd to June 1st.
