I doubt I'll even be able to cut and paste this all into here, but it's pretty historic, so I'll try:

Ok, turns out the HH is way too big to paste here.... literally thousands and thousands of lines of observer chat (request it and see for yourself)... so let's just get to the summary:

I can't believe that stars has already played 1,000,000,000 hands. I'm not up on my online poker history, but how many hands has party poker played? I'm guessing they have already broken this number?

And Its funny that it happened on such a low limit table... But kudos to him and congratulations.

Party is over 1 1/3 billion hands.
