    Why don't the milestone hands ever land on tourney tables? I understand that the promo is for cash games but it appears that tourney hands are included in the count.

    they used to say if a tourney hand hits it then the next ring hand won, i think now they slow the tourney play when it is real close

    This is fairly obvious. In cash games, each hand is its own game and players are free to stop at any point. If the milestone hand is dealt during a tourney, now you have the whole table going all-in trying to win the cash. I don't think I have to explain the problem this creates.....

    I understand why they dont include tournies in the promo. I don't understand how they can include the hand numbers from tournies in the count without ever hitting on a milestone number.

    Oh, sorry, I misread that. It can't be that hard to configure it so that it only lands on a ring game hand. We're talking delaying a hand on 1 table by a fraction of a second.

    yes, I sent support an email and asked. They pause all tourneys for a fraction of a second and the big hand goes the next ring game that needs a hand dealt.
