A $50,000 promotion nudges Paradise Poker a few steps in the
direction of becoming poker paradise.
The site, a virtual poker room where bettors can play over the
Internet against real opponents, will give away $50,000 to celebrate the
dealing of its 50 millionth hand. The first prize of $100 will be
awarded to players dealt cards in game No. 47 million. Plus, the winner
of that hand bags a bonus $500. Prizes will then be given out every
500,000th game in the same manner, only the closer to the magical 50
millionth hand, the higher the prize.
The player who wins hand No. 50 million grabs $5,000, while the rest
of the players in that hand win $500 each.
Prizes will be credited directly to players' accounts immediately
after they play in the winning game.
Each prize-game winner will be asked to select a charity to which
Paradise Poker will donate the same amount of money that's awarded to
the winner. The prize-game winners will be contacted via email by
Paradise Poker support to obtain the full details of their favorite
charities.
Paradise Poker will courier a bank draft directly to the winning
player's charity of choice, although the selected recipient must be a
worthy and registered charity. In the event a player does not select a
specific charity, Paradise Poker will make the donation to the United
Way International Costa Rica affiliate.
The prize schedule will be as follows:

Play-for-free games and one-on-one games will temporarily stop right
before each of the important games to ensure that they're dealt at a
real money table with lots of players.
The 47.5 millionth hand has already been played, and approximately 500,000
hands are played every two days, so players interested in getting in on
it will have to act quickly.
