While the world of online casinos is full of hardcore players who devote practically their entire lives to the pursuit of scoring some incredible and life-changing amazing jackpot, there are only a few players who can actually break records. This is a big deal for online casino players when it happens. This time around it was a player from Russia who managed to set a brand new world record for the most number of online poker hands played in a single day. Over the course of just a little more than 18 and a half hours, this committed and perhaps slightly disturbed Russian player was able to play more than 40,000 hands.

For anyone who knows what it takes to play at online casinos and poker rooms for any decent length of time, this feat is truly mind-boggling. I want to know how he went to the bathroom and how he managed to eat regular meals. I guess 18 hours isn’t that long to go without sleeping or bathing, bit it seems like you would have to let go of some things in order to remain fully devoted for the entire time. This all went down back on the 21st of November over at Poker Stars.

As one of the top most highly respected internet casino poker sites, Poker Stars was an obvious choice to witness this impressive and astounding milestone. The Russian forum Card Game Masters was also part of the magic this time around. Who knows how long it will be before some other savvy casino poker player decides that they may have what it takes to challenge this new world record. That will be quite the showdown.
