Spraggy makes Event #60 final table, finishes seventh

ITM finishes
Russia's Zapahzamazki collected a 19th cash on Day 8 to retain the lead for most in-the-money finishes during the Turbo Series. It was an even more successful day for Poland's biszibosz, who collected three more cashes to climb to a total of 18, good for second place overall. That's one ahead of Andreas 'mrAndreeew' Berggren, who's been holding down one of the top three spots for the entire Turbo Series so far.

KO count
Even without any additional bounties collected on Day 8, vidanilo's weekend KO rampage leaves the player from Angola atop the bounty leaderboard as Day 9 begins. With three more Progressive KO events on the schedule today, this leaderboard could look very different tomorrow.

A successful day has Fintan leading the Ambassadors in KOs
After holding the KO lead among PokerStars Ambassadors for the entire Turbo Series, Spraggy slipped into second place yesterday. That's because his partner in streaming, Fintan 'easywithaces' Hand, scored seven more knockouts in Day 8 action. Fintan now leads the other Ambassadors by four bounties.

Turbo Series ROI-alty
When Savva707 won Event #6 on a $1.10 satellite, it looked like nobody would even come close to matching the Russian player's 1,242.147% ROI -- until Day 8, anyway. That was when the United Kingdom's idzake turned a $2.20 satellite ticket into a second-place finish in Event #65 worth $26,469.90 after a heads-up deal.
idzake's finish was good for a 1,203,177% ROI -- only about 41,000% less than Savva707's massive return. But that's if you count the value of the satellite ticket as the starting point. It turns out that idzake actually earned that ticket in a Stars Rewards chest over the weekend, meaning that this was actually every poker player's dream: a complete freeroll.
Stars Rewards provided the UK's idzake with a satellite spin-up
