Was anyone else disappointed in this? I feel like this could have been much better. While there was a clear winner in cashes, I feel just blah about it. I would've liked to see more variety of games than just NLHE to make it a more all around accomplishment. Poker is more than just turbo holdem.

I'm bummed it was a turbo event. If you're going to have it be a Masters event, wouldn't you do a slower structure so the skill has more of a chance than luck??? I think it's kind of a joke

It could have been done better. I am a POker Go Subscriber and in general I am happy with the content put out. the big NLH cash games with Dwan, Matt Kirk etc were fantastic. I am sure they will improve moving forward.
Heck it is nice to have regular poker content to enjoy again
