Is there actually a rule against doing something like this? Other then adding a rule for not doing this in the future (or have minimum VPP requirements) what can really be done?

its unethical but they didnt break any rules. they just took advantage of the situation. probably werent the only guys doing it. just the one who got lucky and hit it.

doubt stars can do anything about it.

solution for the future would be to not count HU tables for the promo.

most of the times, sites have a rule against "soft playing", in all of their promotions. Dunno about PS, but I'd be really surprised if they dont have the same rule.

this is clearly "soft playing".

Wow. I disagree that nothing can be done, it's clear collusion to take advantage of the system and I'd be very suprised not to see action taken.

PokerStars Road to 100 Billion - Rules & Regulations

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.

Imo very likely Stars will take action here, given how broadly this rule is written..ie. "abusing any aspect of the Promotion" which clearly should apply here. Also this abuse goes back to the first time they ran milestone hands and is the big reason they put in the "prize based on vpps earned in past half hour" or whatever rule. That rule doesn't work for the 70K guaranteed hand tho, which is probably why they have rule 8 above.

Interesting to see how Stars handles this. Anyone dealt into hand 70000000001?

I'm not sure of stars's exact definition of collusion but i would assume, planing to each other on IM to create a unfair advantage would still be valid here, even tho they aren't ganging up on other players at the table directly

edit: haha ignore this zerochill beat me to it in a better way
