Right now, it is Hand # 989,935,974 (as at 10.44am).
Prizes for the Milestone 990 millionth hand?
This is from the Promo Page......
"Customers who play and earn 25 Poker Points in the 24 hours leading up to each milestone hand (990 - 999) will gain access into an exclusive £2,000 freeroll the following night at 20:00.
Each milestone hand winner will receive £1 for every poker point they have earnt in the 24 hours preceeding the milestone hand as well as an extra £200 bonus. The winner will also receive a £1100 UKPC seat.
Plus, any player dealt into the hand will also receive £50 cash!"
Initial predictions - just straws in the wind really - are that it will hit mid afternoon. Or late afternoon. Or early afternoon. Probably.
Anyone care to guess the EXACT time?
2:29pm
"Right now, it is Hand # 989,935,974 (as at 10.44am)."
And exactly 30 minutes later, it was #989,939,900
So, 4,000 in 30 minutes, & another 60,000 hands to go.
In theory, that means another 7.5 hours, but it's not linear, as traffic increases in the afternoon, & as the 990 milly mark approaches.
No help at all, then.
At 11.44, it was 989,944,382.
Quite an acceleration in that half an hour, it went up by around 4,500.
That acceleration should continue, as Team Lunch Break arrive.
The acceleration continues, Team Lunch Break are on the case, at 12.14 it was 989,949,873, so 5,500 in that 30 minutes.
In the 3 half hour periods since 10.44, it has gone up, respectively, by 4,000, 4,500 & 5,500.
Just over 50,000 to go, with the rate now accelerating past 11,000 per hour.
At 12.44, 989,955,777, so just under 6,000 in that half hour, & the HPH is now up to 12,000.
45,000 to go, & Team Lunch Break (2nd sitting) have now arrived.

What Liam said.
It scrolls though all the time, I just C & P this from "Summary" in the Chat Box......

The acceleration continues at a steady pace, with Team Lunch Break (2nd sitting) getting busy.
At 13.14, it was 989,962,212, so it went up 6,500 in that 30 minutes, & is now running at 13,000 per hour, with 38,000 to go.
At 13.44, it was at # 989,969,422, an increase of 7,200 in the 30 minutes, so the hourly is up to 14,400, & there are 31,000 to go.
The Promo prize chasers & £2.20 @ 2.20-ers have started to arrive en masse, & why not, some super prizes available.
At 2.14, it was at # 989,977,842, so that's 8,400 in 30 minutes, just under 17,000 per hour.
22,000 to go.
I'm gonna speculate it will hit within the next hour, or nearly so.
Please be seated, the fun is about to begin.
Here we go, here we go, here we go.......
In the 30 minutes to 14.44, it shot up to 989,987,317.
That's a 12,000 in increase in 30 minutes, or 24,000 per hour.
Just 13,000 to go.
Pretty sure it will go before 3.15, probably before 3.10.
Take your seats......
Less than 5,000 hands to go.
Under 4,000 to go.
