Home / News / Turbo Series Day 10: Joris “BillLewinsky” Ruijs, Rupert “ElRupert” Elder, and Gianluca “Tankanza” Speranza take down titles

We may only have six new winners from yesterday’s Turbo Series action, but three of them are very familiar indeed.

First-up on the winner’s sheet from Wednesday, April 15 is multiple SCOOP and WCOOP champion Joris “BillLewinsky” Ruijs, who claimed a Turbo Series title in Event 76, the $530 PLO, for $23,613. Ruijs overcame a 245-entry field to win the lion’s share of the $122,500 prize pool.

Denis “aDrENalin710” Strebkov finished third in that one ($12,869), having won a Turbo Series title last week.

Then we had EPT7 San Remo champion Rupert “ElRupert” Elder who picked up a big win in the $22 NLHE (#77) for $31,641. The field was enormous–14,437 entries when registration closed–creating a $288,740 prize pool which smashed the $175K guarantee.

One player who always performs his best during a big tournament series is Gianluca “Tankanza” Speranza. After all, he pulled off one of online poker’s most impressive feats when he won the WCOOP $10K Main Event for the second consecutive year (and back-to-back $1M+ score) back in October 2019.

He now has a Turbo Series title to add to his collection, taking down the $530 Hyper-Turbo (#80) for $49,041. The tournament had 544 total entries and Speranza banked more than 20 per cent of the $277,178 prize pool.
