Who says online poker is on the way out? There are some serious numbers and prizepools being posted by industry leaders PokerStars right now.
PokerStars has celebrated another major milestone recently, dealing its 10 billionth hand of poker; just one year after its landmark 5 billionth hand.
To put this milestone in perspective, a bricks and mortar card room with a 50 dealer staff would need to deal hands non-stop, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for more than 640 years to reach 10 billion hands.
Six lucky poker players who were dealt into the hand, walked away from the $.01/$.02 table divvying up an extra $186,000.
