By Cathy Roberts on Feb 16, 2009 with Comments 1
Online poker giant Pokerstars gave away a prize package worth more than 26 million dollars during the wee hours of this morning.
The promotion was a hit, in fact, it’s rumored that PokerStars software crashed during the event. More noteworthy than the winners and their prize amounts however is the fate of one online poker player. According to poker news reports, one unlucky pokerstars player was sitting out, Confedrate didn’t post his blind, as he sat waiting for the blinds to reach him at the table the much awaited 25 billionth hand was dealt.
Confederate, gets zip. The ultimate in bubble’s being burst. Due to the fact that he was sitting out, he’s the only player that will not be benefiting from the historical moment, and tremendous windfall.
