The chopped the pot evenly and played one all-in hand for the trophy which Kevin Schell took down, leaving him with the official win and the hardware. They got through the 94 entries pretty quickly tonight, as befits a turbo, with the final hand playing out about 8.5 hours after the first.

The 6-Max turned into an epic game, so it took me a while to get to the Turbo game. They are down to just four players left and prizes will be uploaded to the Payouts tab shortly. Meanwhile, below is a look at the final four players tonight.
The Turbo field ended at 94 entries tonight for prizes of $17,860. The winner tonight will get $5,183 with ten players sharing in the money. Full prizes are loaded under the Payouts tab.
They are up to 75 entries in the Turbo now with Level 6 just beginning. That puts the prizes at $14,250 right now, just a few entries away from $15k with about 50 minutes left to enter the game.
The Turbo field is up to 64 entries now for prizes of $12,180. Level 4 has just begun with entries open for a bit less than 90 minutes.

Date: | Sep 23, 2024, 6 pm |
Start Stack: | 20,000 |
Blinds: | 20 Minutes |
Late Entry: | 9 Levels (~8:30 pm) |
The side game on Monday is a $230 Turbo event. The action kicks off at 6 pm with a 20k start stack and 20-minute blinds. There are nine levels of late entry which should put the final chance to enter at about 8;30 pm this evening.
I won't be watching much of this one in the early stages as I'll be focused on the 6-Max game until it finishes, but I'll move over to the endgame of this one once a 6-Max winner is decided.
