72nd billionth poker hand has been dealt at Poker Stars

A lucky Poker Stars player from the Czech Republic wins the anniversary 72nd billionth hand, taking home the honors and over $20,000.

Poker Stars is celebrating its 10th anniversary with an array of promotions and tournaments. A crucial part of the celebrations was the 72nd billionth poker hand, which has been building up for quite some time.

The major milestone has been achieved and saw 6 lucky players share the $100,000 special prize pool. The lucky hand was dealt at a $0.02/$0.05 NL 6-max table, awarding $24,300 to the winner.

Kozlicek_x went all-in before the flop with a pair of sevens, starting a chain reaction of all-ins. The Czech player flopped a set and never gave up his advantage, winning not only the “enormous” $27 pot, but also the celebatory $24,300 bonus cash.

Other participants of the lucky hand each received between $12,150 and $15,000 – quite a good consolation prize for losing an average of $5 apiece.

Kozlicek_x commented in a concise and succinct way: "Holy goat!"

The 72nd billionth hand was only part of the 10 year anniversary celebrations at Poker Stars, which among others consist of a $10,000 High Roller event and the 10th Anniversary Sunday Millions Guaranteed $10 million tournament scheduled for the upcoming Sunday.
