One event is rolling toward a final table, but there's another event on tap here at Run It Up Reno for those unfortunate enough to go bust in the bounty event. It's time for the $85 Six-Max Turbo, and players are already taking their seats with cards set to begin flying in moments.
Expect a fast pace in this one, as the structure calls for 15-minute levels, which kick up to 20 minutes when a final table is reached.
