The series culminates in two Main Events with combined guarantees of $3 million. These are scheduled to run on March 7 featuring buy-ins of $55 and $1050 guaranteeing $1 million and $2 million respectively.

For the first time, the series will feature new events including short-stacked Progressive Knockouts with 15 big blinds starting stack, Time Knockout tournaments, and 7-handed freezeouts.

To help players qualify for the Turbo Series events, the operator will be running Fast Track satellites as well as a special edition $4 Spin & Go’s.
