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.



Some good stuff. Gonna be an enormous $4 million guaranteed Sunday Million in 2 weeks (conveniently on the same day as the FTOPS Main Event). There is also a $40 $1 million guarantee on this upcoming Sunday.

Some great values in there.

I've already done the $40 cash credit. I'm glad to see on that one that it's open to everybody and not just silver stars and above.

I think a great tourney for the low rollers will be the 40 fpp $40K tournaments. They're capping them at 50,000 players so I assume they will fill up long before they start. The first one appears to be on Feb 14th.

F40: 40 FPP - $40,000 Specials
You can also play in a series of special F40 FPP tournaments. Each has a buy-in of only 40 FPPs and a prize pool of $40,000. Start times will alternate between 13:40 ET & 21:40 ET each day.

To register for the Sunday Million or any of the other F40 tournaments, open the PokerStars lobby, click ‘Tourney’ & ‘Special’.

Using my expertees/guesswork I predict the 40 billionth hand to hit at 1:23 EST on Sunday 21st.


I read on 2+2 that the milestones start at 39.6 billion, which is late Thursday/early Friday this week.

I think they will crush the guarantee.

For those who don't have the $40 they're running sats for it for as little as 10 FPPs

Or there is a 40fpp entry with $40k prize pool guarantee tournament just before it. 241561388

I see they have capped the entry to both at 50k ,wonder if they will extend if they fill up really quickly?

edit 40fpps in case i read it wrong
The Queens we use would not excite you.

The $40 is a sweet deal.

Free $40? Yes please.

(Given that I don't play nearly enough for the rest of the FPP values to make sense, and I've gone into perpetual suck mode, this is probably the best value for me.)

I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure when I registered it was 1500 starting chips, maybe they changed it?
