Ladbrokes Poker deals its billionth hand

Ladbrokes Poker players enjoyed a $300,000 bonanza freeroll to celebrate the Billionth Hand being dealt!

Ladbrokes Poker dealt its billionth hand at 06.58 (BST) on Saturday 14th June and gave away 20 Las Vegas trips of a lifetime valued at $14,000 each in a special invitation only freeroll to celebrate. A further 200 runners up will play in a $109 satellite event on Wednesday 18th June.

Ed Ihre, MD of Ladbrokes Poker said: "Over 12,500 people qualified to play in last nights $300,000 tournament. Originally we expected the billionth hand would be dealt on Sunday, but as soon as word got out of the activity we had planned, player numbers escalated and the hand was dealt a lot earlier than we'd anticipated. It's great that so many people shared this special occasion with us and I look forward to seeing the winners when out in Vegas." He continued: At least the twenty winners will have two weeks to make arrangements before jetting off to Las Vegas with the Ladbrokes Poker team on the 2nd July!
