daveygh Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 one to keep your eye on:ok Are you handy enough to win $50,000...? The Billionth Hand will be dealt on paddypowerpoker.com over the coming months and players have the chance to profit as hundreds of big cash prizes will be given out! 1,000,000,000 is a really REALLY big number, that's more pints of stout than the Paddy Power Poker team down in a month of Friday evenings! Cash table players can win prizes up to $14,000 by participating in Countdown and Jackpot hands leading up to the magic number. The winner of the Billionth Hand gets a gob-smacking, heart-stopping, possibly-life-changing $50,000 and tickets to ALL ECOOP II tournaments, while the other participants in the hand will share $30,000! It could be YOU who claims the big prize - forget about Maradona's Hand of God, the Hand That Rocked The Cradle or even Handy Andy McFadden, the Billionth Hand is coming and it's gonna be HUGE!
