Event 14 of the 2021 Lucky Hearts Poker Open was a $600 Deep Stack Turbo, but even deep stacks can’t overcome a turbo structure with 15-minute levels. This is a tournament for people who want to start in the evening (6:00 pm), and finish the tournament that same evening.

Even with 167 entries, it only took about six-and-a-half hours to reach the end of the tournament, when the final three players agreed to an ICM deal based on their chip counts.

1.  Alex Ortiz Vazquez  –  2,395,000
2.  Yordan Petrov  –  570,000
3.  Mathew Karp  –  380,000

As the overwhelming chipleader, Vazquez was declared the winner and awarded the trophy.
