The Turbo $1k lived up to its name on Tuesday, playing through 222 entries in around 10 hours, finishing up by 2 in the morning. The field this time was significantly above October’s 163, continuing the trend for this series that could end up spelling a new record for prizes in Alberta by the time the dust settles on Main Event and High Roller entries.
The Two-Day $1k finished just as this game got heads up, and the final phase was as short as the rest of the night. Winner Joel Kogan was the big stack, and Seong Choi was on his heels with very few moves in his stack.
The final hand saw the money go in on the flop, with Choi on a pair, but Kogan drawing to a flush with the nine-four of spades. The turn bricked, but the river was just what the doctor ordered for Kogan, delivering the spade salvation.
Nine-four may well become Kogan’s favorite hand — this was the second ring he’s won playing those cards. He took down his first Circuit ring in the $400 Black Chip Bounty game here at Deerfoot Inn & Casino in January 2024, though in that case, he was offsuit.
This was Kogan’s biggest live score and fourth win on the live felt. He had $152k in lifetime earnings coming into this series, so this will push him close to $200k.
