PokerStars December 2006

Even more, PokerStars reached five billion hands and had the largest WSOP satellite in history, awarding 255 seats to the Main Event (larger than the 1993 Main Event).

By August, PokerStars completed a software upgrade, which included resizing tables, allowing players to select table themes and gaming expanded to new options like H.O.R.S.E.

The WCOOP broke a record: 18 events with over $18 million in prize money. ‘area23JC’ won $670,194 in a final table deal; the first-place prize was originally over $1 million.
