Carbon launching $100k Turbo Online Poker Series on 28th March

When it comes to tournament series, Carbon Poker is best known for their Poker Maximus event. However, they're looking to establish a brand new event in the Turbo Online Poker Series, which will run from March 28th-31st, 2013.

Turbo OPS is going to offer $100,000 guaranteed over the course of 14 tournaments. And as the series name implies, each event is a turbo tourney, where quick blind levels ensure fast-paced action.

Those interested in Turbo OPS can either pay direct tournament buy-ins or opt for the satellites that are currently running. Let's discuss the satellites and tourneys further along with the TOPS leaderboard.
