The $1,110 MSPT Main Event at Riverside Casino Resort attracted a total of 406 entries across three starting flights, generating a prize pool of $392,320.
Just like last month at the MSPT Spade Poker Championship in Michigan, Ozturk, a legend of the series, celebrated another title.
Ozturk started the final heads-up match against Jacob Tourville with a 3:1 chip disadvantage. However, with patient play, he turned the scales in his favor and ultimately seized victory.
Before the winner was decided, the players agreed to an even split of the prize money, each securing $69,451. This victory was dedicated to his wife Alison, whom he credits as the main pillar of their family.
With this title, Ozturk cemented his lead in the all-time MSPT earnings leaderboard, with total winnings exceeding $1.4 million.
