PokerStars 100 billion hands

I ducked out of work a bit early to witness history and take a shot at the Stars 100 billionth hand. It was quite a spectacle. This was the lobby in PLO very close to when it dropped.

Wow! Nearly 400,000 players. Over 50,000 tables. nine tables of $10 FR limit Omaha. over 150 FR $10 Omaha and over 400 $10 6max Omaha. There were over 1000 tables of $25 NL.

To try to get some extra shots as the big hand neared I attempted to join a $0.02/$0.04 limit hold'em game. New tables were insta-filling and I couldn't get on. I clicked the Seat Me button and it timed out and couldn't get me a seat. Luckily it offered me the option to start a brand new table. I agreed and instantly the new table filled. I actually won a couple of the LHE hands for a tiny profit yay. It was fun.

It was exciting this whole road to 100. It's a bit sad now that it's finally over after these years. The finale was great and really well done. Thanks PokerStars.
