The PokerStars Turbo Series has reached its final week but the fast-paced festival is showing no signs of slowing down just yet.

Arlie ��Prince Pablo�� Shaban is one man who seems to do everything at 100 mph. Shaban triumphed in a $22 Progressive Knockout tournament during the Blowout Series earlier in January and now has a Turbo Series title to brag about.

Shaban was one of 4,935 entrants in the Turbo Series 88: $11 NLHE 6-Max event, a tournament with a $50,000 guarantee. The popular Twitch streamer managed to navigate his way to the final table of the event and was understandably pleased to turn his one $11 bullet into a four-figure prize. Shaban does not do things by halves and went all out for the victory.

Poland��s ��lepiej_pasuj�� was the last player standing between Shaban and another impressive victory. Their heads-up battle lasted exactly one hand with Shaban moving all-in with A?2? and his opponent calling off his 13.75 big blind stack off with K?J?. A few second later, the board read 6?5?5?6?10? to hand the title to Shaban, who let out an almighty roar as it dawned on him that he��d triumphed in yet another major tournament.
