"Dealing the 200 million hands is an amazing achievement,
especially considering that it was just last March that we announced
our 100 millionth," said Gian Perroni, poker room manager
for Absolute Poker. "Absolute Poker has a loyal following
and our rapidly growing community has helped us reach this milestone
in an amazingly short time period. Anticipation is building as
the clocks ticks down to the day and we predict record levels
of players will compete for the prizes."
The following are the terms and conditions: This promotion is
open to all real money players at Absolute Poker from now until
the 200th million hand is dealt. Please note that in order to
win, players must be playing at a real money ring game with blind
levels of at least $1/$2 Limit or $1 NL or higher. The hand winner
from the qualifying table is determined as the winner of that
table's raked pot for that hand. There must be at least three
people active or playing the hand for the hand to count. Participants
who are eligible are those who are "active" in the hand.
"Active" denotes participating as a raked player in
that particular hand -- regardless of hand outcome. Participants
who are simply sitting at a table or fold their cards before the
flop will not qualify for a prize if the table is selected. Please
note that if any of the prize level hands do not occur on a real
money table, the next hand dealt that qualifies with at least
$1/$2 Limit or $1 NL or higher and at least 3 people playing an
active hand will be determined as the winning table. Absolute
Poker does not tolerate fraudulent activity in any promotion.
We reserve the final decision regarding the legitimacy of all
hands that qualify. Winners will be announced on the website,
via system messaging and in the lobby.
