Micro stakes player tbvle was the lucky winner of the hand after his Pocket Queens held up at the $0.02/$0.05 NLHE table leaving him with a payday of $56,140 when the pot total was just a mere $26. Tbvle is a hardcore grinder according to PokerTableRatings he has played over 67,000 hands recording a total loss of $53. Perhaps tbvle will move up and play a little higher now that he has won presumably a life changing amount of money for him, or maybe he will enjoy it in the real world.
The hand was dealt at 10:37am (ET) on January 22nd and the five other players at tbvle’s table each won around $3,000 and each of the six players were also rewarded with a WCOOP Main Event entry worth $5,200.
Several Team PokerStars Pro’s were on hand to congratulate tbvle for winning the 50 Billionth Hand including Jason Mercier, Ville Wahlbeck and Lex Veldhuis.
