    lol, pretty cheap of stars to reward smaller prizes for the lower limits in the milestone hands leading up to the 25 billionth hand.

    <table width="300"><tbody><tr><th>Limit</th><th>Winner</th><th>The Rest</th></tr><tr><td>Micro</td><td>$300</td><td>$125</td></tr><tr><td>Low</td><td>$750</td><td>$250</td></tr><tr><td>Medium</td><td>$1,250</td><td>$500</td></tr><tr><td>High</td><td>$2,500</td><td>$1,000</td></tr></tbody></table>
