Over at PokerStars this weekend, a 22-year-old Russian player going by the name of innerspy accepted the challenge posed by the Russian Card Game Masters and hosted by Poker Stars to try and break the world’s record for the most number of hands played in one sitting. And he did it!
Innerspy sat down for just over 18 1/2 hours at PokerStars last Saturday and in that time played an amazing 40,088 hands of online poker. Until that time, he hadn’t played more than 20,000. But when he heard the challenge posed, he knew he was capable of taking it on, and apparently he was absolutely right.
But it wasn’t easy. To add to the pressure, this all took place in front of 10,000 fans watching over their computers.
Now that it’s over, Innerspy says it will be a lot easier for him to achieve his goal of becoming a PokerStars Supernova Elite member.
