It's about the winner of the 70 billionth hand. Personally i think all they've done is very cleverly found a loophole to  have a free shot at winning 70,000 dollars and the people complaing are just jealous they didn't think of it.

Its exploiting a loophole.

Its not technically cheating imo, but it will be interesting to see if pokerstars allow the winner to keep the 70k

why wouldn't everyone do this?

Probably because most of us actually enjoy playing the game too much to just sit there open folding for hours.

There will be a lot more people doing this next time it comes round (if they do it again) i would say.

seems like they exploited something that others were not aware of looks a bit scummy but mehh anyone can do it

i think what is most concerning is the wallpaper in the room that recording was done

I'd imagine it's two background screens.

They wouldn't have to do it for more than 5 minutes.

They don't deserve the cash, but they havn't done anything too bad.

Pokerstars should withhold the bonus and do a 71 billionth hand promotion or something to make up for this one failing.

No I mean two actual screens that you stand up and display. Just like they use at the sky poker tour for the interviews and around the final table etc.

you enjoy the game so much you wouldn't spend half an hour freerolling for 70 grand?

If they found a loophole and played within the rules well done them I say.BUT

8. During the Promotion, strict rules regarding player behaviour will be enforced. PokerStars reserves the right to take action against any player found to be abusing any aspect of the Promotion. Such action includes, but is not limited to, exclusion or suspension from the Promotion or from the Client, and the confiscation of rewards earned as a result of the abuse. The decision on what activity constitutes abuse of the Promotion lies with PokerStars management in its sole discretion.

So Pokerstars can decide that any activity at all will constitute abuse?

Look at the hand numbers, they are around 2000 hands apart, even if they are 24 tabling they still only have around an 80/1 shot of getting the 70b hand. 

I would bet my bankroll on the fact at least 2 or 3 other sets of people were doing exactly the same thing at the same time, just didn't get the run good hand number so nobody noticed
