After a frantic weekend of action, including one big score for a very familiar face and a few close calls for another, the Turbo Series is halfway complete. Here’s a rundown of all the action from Days 5, 6, and 7.

Bonomo bags another High Roller title

Justin Bonomo spent 2018 making high roller tournaments his personal domain. He brought that dominance online over the weekend when he won Event #54, the $5,200 8-Max High Roller event, for $192,427.76. Bonomo defeated Finland’s elmerizz heads-up for the title.

Niklas “Lena900” Åstedt, who won his first Turbo Series title last week, nearly grabbed a second title over the weekend — twice. First he finished Event #40, $109 NL 2-7 Single Draw, in sixth place. Then he finished second to spaise411 of Russia in Event #47, $109 HORSE.

Finland’s Sami “Lrslzk” Kelopuro, who also won a title last week, came close again in Event #57, the $215 Sunday Supersonic SE. Kelopuro finished fifth for more than $13,000. Also of note were two strong performances by monoalive. The player from Argentina finished ninth in Event #37 ($109+R NL Hold’em) for more than $2,100, then followed that with a runner-up finish in Event #43 ($11 NL Hold’em) for another $9,700.

Here are the full results from the weekend.

ITM finishes

After being dominated by one player for the first week of the Turbo Series, the ITM leaderboard has some competition. Russia’s Zapahzamazki, who won Event #28 last week, collected a 17th in-the-money finish over the weekend to surpass Andreas “mrAndreeew” Berggren for the top spot. Berggren remains tied for second place with Latvia’s poker@luffyD at 16 cashes each.

---

KO count

Collecting another 50 (!!!) bounties over the weekend helped Angola’s vidanilo take over the top spot on the Turbo Series KO leaderboard with 74 total knockouts. Greece’s TheHolland scored 35 more knockouts to move into second place, and Latvia’s ekziter scored 25 more to climb into third.

Fintan “easywithaces” Hand joined the action this weekend and grabbed four bounties to make his first appearance on the PokerStars Ambassadors KO leaderboard. Spraggy retains the overall lead with seven KOs and more than $1,400 in bounty value, though Lex Veldhuis now also has seven bounties to his credit during the Turbo Series.
