Online poker giant serves up its five billionth hand and gives away big cash prizes

A supermarket worker in Germany earnt $57,500 on one hand of poker last week when she won the five billionth hand dealt by PokerStars.com.

Manuela, who plays at PokerStars as “Marajade”, scooped the jackpot on a 5c/10c no limit hold’em table at about 2am local time.

More than 100,000 people were playing online at the time, and other players on the same table also won cash prizes.

The 30-year old works in Aldi and will spend the money on expensive eye surgery that she needs.

“When I heard about the (special promotion) at PokerStars, I just had to log on and play,” Manuela said afterward.
