Re: Questions about Pokerstars million hand giveaway;
When that table gets to the milestone hand they then PAUSE the action and make the announcement to all the other tables so that you have time to find that table and watch the drama unfold if you like.
They aren't predicting that it's about to be dealt there. They already got to that milestone, and then stopped everything so that they could go tell everybody.

[/ QUOTE ] Bob, not sure which question you were answering I'm referring to the announcements that state the hand 'Will be dealt on a "cash game table"' not the announcements that specifically name the table the jackpot was dealt on, and that support personel told me that they 'can't deal a jackpot' on a tournament table. Can anyone here confirm a "million hand jackpot" being dealt on a sit n go or tourney table?

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!!"

Re: Questions about Pokerstars million hand giveaway;
my questions aren't really about when they pause the tables though, will try to bold the ?'s in the OP
besides the announcements I'm reffering to occur when the counter is approxiamtely 300,000 to 500,00 hands BEFORE the million mark- apparently to drum up interest on the cash game tables, which it certainly does - The announcements read something to the effect of: "Upcoming Anniversary hand # xxxx000000 is about to be dealt on one of our cash ring game tables" This announce ment precedes the announcement you speak of which indicates the table and type of game.

Re: Questions about Pokerstars million hand giveaway;
they do 3 announcements.
The one that is BEFORE the milestone is to say that it's going to be dealt in a few minutes. They don't know which table yet. The one shortly after the milestone is passed on your counter is the 2nd one where they say it's about to be dalt on Table X. The 3rd one is to announce the results of the hand.
