Default Re: Questions about Pokerstars million hand giveaway;

Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

You can watch the counter in the upper-left corner.

Right after they get to that then they PAUSE THE ACTION.
And they make the annoucement, "Hey everybody, hand # X is about to be dealt on such-and-such table."

It hasn't happened yet because when they got to that hand-number they stopped the play on that table.

I'm not sure how better to explain it to you.


That announcement you are referring to would be slightly more accurate if it said, "Table X has just reached Hand # 900000. We've stopped the action there before dealing the cards out so that you can come watch the hand play out if you like."


First they say: "Hand number 900000 is going to be dealt in a few minutes."

Then they get to the point that is confusing you where they are essentially saying: "Woo-Hoo!! We have a winner. We paused the action though so you can come watch. But hand # 900000 is ABOUT TO BE DEALT at table X."

Then they wait a few minutes while the chat-box on that table is going crazy and people arrive to watch.

Then they make an announcement to everyone: "Well, we finally dealt the hand. And Joe Shmoe won $4200!!"
