Bovada Begins 12 Days of Turbos Poker Series

It’s the holiday season, and online poker sites are feeling festive. Poker players are in various stages of quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic. It’s the perfect time for an online poker series.

Bovada Poker decided to offer a series this month but one with fast structures (turbo!), numerous events each day, and more than $2.3 million in guarantees.

The 12 Days of Turbos Poker Series got underway on December 5 and already busted through the individual tournament guarantees. The series will run through December 16, and with five or six tournaments daily, there are plenty of chances to get in on it.

Starting Strong

Bovada kicked off its 12 Days of Turbos on Saturday, December 5. Let’s take a look at the numbers:

Event 1: $55 NLHE Warm-Up

• Entries: 318
• Prize pool: $15,900 ($12K GTD)
• Players paid: 72
• Winner paid: $2,632.41

 

Event 2: $109 NLHE Kickoff

• Entries: 284
• Prize pool: $28,400 ($15K GTD)
• Players paid: 59
• Winner paid: $4,742.88

 

Event 3: $162 NLHE 6-Handed

• Entries: 255

Event 4: $215 NLHE

• Prize pool: $42K ($25K GTD)
• Players paid: 44

All of the prize pools in the first four events greatly surpassed their guarantees, which means the series will be more lucrative than the $2.3 million guaranteed.

The tournaments each day begin early in the morning (relatively speaking) and run into the evenings. But with so many options and the turbo structures, players can jump in and out of the series as they have time.
