Taylor Howard Wins Event #6: $260 NLH Turbo w/ $50 Bounties
While PokerNews is offering live updates from this Main Event, there have been several other side events playing out this past week at the 2021 bestbet Jacksonville Winter Open.
In Event #6: $260 NLH Turbo w/ $50 Bounties, 104 entries created a $17,160 prize pool. That was paid out to the top 13 players, and among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Elsheekh Lagi (13th - $429), Shane Sinnott (12th - $472), Ashkan Izadi (11th - $472), and Shawn Bernier (10th - $472).
In the end, Nebraska's Taylor Howard, who is a Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) champion, defeated Michael Wagner in heads-up play to win the title for $5,235 plus an unknown number of bounties (though we know he got the $50 from Wagner and got to keep his own $50 bounty).
