Win Cash Prizes For Winning With Seven-Deuce in the PokerStars 7-2 Boom Promotion
The worst starting hand in Texas Hold’em is the lowly seven-deuce (7-2), but thanks to an exciting new promotion at PokerStars, playing this weak hand could reap you some cash rewards.
Running until October 7, the 7-2 Boom! Promotion rewards PokerStars players for doing the improbable and winning a hand with the worst hand in Texas Hold’em. Play any real money Hold’em ring game, including the lightning fast Zoom, win a hand with 7-2 suited and then share it using PokerStars’ Boom! Player. Do this and see the cash come flowing into your PokerStars account.
The big blind at the table you are on when you won the hand determines your cash prize. To calculate how much cash you can expect to win, simply multiply the big blind by the number of opponents at your table. For example, you are playing $1/$2 at a nine-handed table, win and Boom with your 7-2 hand. Your cash reward would be $2 (big blind) multiplied by 8 (number of opponents) for a $16 cash prize.
What makes this promotion even more amazing is the fact you can claim up to three cash prizes every day!
