Last Thursday, Ultimate Poker dealt its 10-millionth hand of real money online poker at 10:22 a.m. PST on UltimatePoker.com after a little over three months of live play.
The historic 10-millionth hand was played at a 25-cent/50-cent no limit hold ‘em table. The victor, “Steve Kelly,” won $6.85 with an ace high during the hand, along with an additional $5,000 prize from Ultimate Poker to celebrate the monumental moment.
Each remaining player at the table also received $500 for being a part of the historic hand. Beginning at the nine-millionth hand, Ultimate Poker gave away $23,000 during a series of 21 cash prizes leading up to the 10-millionth.

“It’s incredible to be talking about our 10-millionth hand only three months after opening the doors. It gives us a good opportunity to look back at how far we’ve come and an even better excuse to run a great promotion,” remarked Ultimate Joe Versaci, UG’s chief marketing officer.
