Cash Games
F40: Milestone Hands

There will be cash prizes across all our cash game tables in the days leading up to the 40 billion Mega Milestone hand. Players dealt into every millionth hand will win a cash prize of $40 for every VPP they earned in the previous 40 hands played on that table. Because PokerStars wants everyone to be a winner, an extra VPP will be awarded to all players dealt in - this means you'll win a minimum of at least $40. The winner of the hand will also get their cash prize doubled!

Example:

You are playing at a $1/$2 table and get dealt into a milestone hand. PokerStars calculates that in the last 40 hands at that table you have earned 31 VPPs. Add that to the extra VPP that all players dealt in are awarded, and you have a total of 32 VPPs. This means you'll win $1,280 (32 x $40). Go on to win the hand and this will be doubled to $2,560 (2 x $1,280).

When the big 40 billion Mega Milestone is reached, all players dealt in will be rewarded $400 for every VPP earned in the previous 40 hands (calculated same as above, including the bonus VPP for all players dealt in). The winner of the Mega Milestone will also have their prize money doubled - which could mean a grand total of tens of thousands of dollars!

Example:

Using the same scenario as above, you'd now win $12,800 for being dealt into the 40 billionth hand (32 x $400). Win the hand and this will be doubled to $25,600.

Please Note: In the event of a split pot - if the hand is a tie or the game being played is Hi/Lo - all winners of the hand will have their prize money doubled. This applies only to the main pot in the hand, as side pots are not included.

Multi-Table Tournaments (MTTs)

PokerStars is the home of tournament poker, so it's only right then that F40 should include an incredible schedule of big-money events. Here's what's in store:
F40: Sunday Million $4,000,000 guaranteed!

In a joint celebration with the 4th anniversary of the Sunday Million, we'll be boosting the prize pool to an incredible $4,000,000 on February 21 - that's the biggest ever prize pool and includes at least $1,000,000 for first place!

Sit & Go's
F40: Super Sit & Go Tournaments

For Sit & Go players there will be a series of special 40-man Super Sit & Go tournaments running 24/7 from February 14-21 across a range of buy-in levels that suit all players and bankrolls: $1.10, $11, $22, $55. The winner of every tournament gets a slice of $40,000, shared out between all the winners at each buy-in level.

Keep a look out for the F40 Super Sit & Go's in the PokerStars lobby by clicking 'Sit & Go' and 'All'.

Example:

Over the course of F40, there are 953 Super Sit & Go's completed at the $11 level. Win one and you'll get $41.97 ($40,000/953). Go on to win four of these and you'll get a share of the prize pool for all of them - that's $167.88 (4 x $41.97). All of the Super Sit & Go cash prizes will be paid by February 23, once all prize calculations are completed.
