*** FTR OFC 500,000 Hands Contest ***

FTR is set to deal 500,000 OFC Hands since the launch of our web client back in September, 2013. As we approach the 500k milestone, we want to say thanks by giving all FTR members a chance to win some prizes.

All you have to do is play OFC on FTR.... that's it! We are keeping track of every hand dealt and will be announcing the lucky players dealt in to the milestone hands, shown below.

Note: Only players with valid FTR forum accounts will qualify for milestone prizes. Those connected via Facebook will not be eligible for prizes. You can register for a free FTR account here. In the event that a milestone is hit by a FB user, we will bump the prize up to the next hand.

This will be broken into 4 milestone hands:

425,000: PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker Hat + Free Texas Hold'em Odds and Probabilities eBook

Won by FTR member rightbauer.

450,000: PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker Hat + Free Texas Hold'em Odds and Probabilities eBook

Won by FTR member fantomas.

475,000: PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker Hat + Free Texas Hold'em Odds and Probabilities eBook

Won by FTR member eberetta1.

500,000: $100 Amazon Gift Card + Hat and eBook

Won by FTR member sam1FTR.

Each player dealt in the 425k - 475k milstone hands will win a prize. The 500k milestone will be split between how many players were dealt in.

We will be announcing the winners in this thread, so keep playing for your chance to win!

Thanks to everyone for your valuable feedback and allowing us to deal you 500,000 OFC hands!

Good question. If you're lucky enough to be dealt into every milestone hand, then yes, you could win every prize.

The first milestone hand was just hit! Hand 425,000 was Table 17,603, Round 11, which was FTR member rightbauer playing against BaldBullBot. Congrats, rightbauer!

We're currently at 447k, the next milestone hand will be dealt within 48 hours!

The second milestone has been hit! Hand 450,000 was Table 18,370, Round 4, which was FTR member fantomas playing against Facebook user sotiris.gotsopoulos. Congrats, fantomas!

There are ~2,600 OFC hands played every day on FTR. At this current average, the next milestone hand should hit around July 3 and the final milestone hand should happen around July 12. Best of luck!

Our 475,000 milestone hand was hit about 3:15 am ET July 6th, 2014.

haha, funny you say that, because you hit it against GlassJoeBot: http://www.flopturnriver.com/ofc-pok...php?19190#R117

Congrats! I'll PM you with details on how to claim your prizes.

One milestone hand left and it's the big one! ~21,000 hands to go!

That is good news. Glad to hear I was in the milestone hand. Chinese Poker is a relaxing game.

I already own a PokerStars shirt, so a PokerStars hat will go over well.

Thank you FlopTurnRiver for the contest.

Under 10,000 hands until the final milestone is hit!

Under 5,000 hands until 500,000!

Can admins (me!) win?

Hand 500,000 was dealt on table http://www.flopturnriver.com/ofc-pok...e.php?20173#R9, Round 9 which was sam1FTR vs Glass Joe. Since sam1FTR was the only one on the table, he wins the prize to himself which is a $100 Amazon.com gift card, free poker hat, and poker ebook.

Congrats, sam1FTR! And thanks everyone for playing - we're glad everyone has enjoyed our software and can't wait until we deal 1,000,000 hands and beyond!

Congratulations sam1FTR! I have sent you a Private Message requesting your email address so we can purchase the Amazon.com Gift Card for you.
