Turner, who previously won Event #4: $365 NLHE Turbo at the WSOP Circuit stop at Horseshoe Southern Indiana back in October of last year, notched his 11th cash of the 2014/2015 season, which included his seventh final table appearance. As mentioned, the hometown hero's victory came in impressive fashion when he finished Day 1a with 400,500 in chips, which was well out in front of the second-place finisher, who bagged 261,000. After Day 2 saw the field whittle itself down to the final nine, Turner had worked his stack up to 2.129 million, which was enough to give him the chip lead. He wouldn't relinquish it at the final table.
'This is awesome,' Turner told WSOP officials after the win. 'It's hard to even talk. I would need to win a bracelet to feel I accomplished something bigger than this. I would never want to win a ring anywhere else but here. For it to be the Main Event, it's even more important. It was cool because I didn't even sleep the night before. I actually played all Day 1 on no sleep, so I was a little out of it, then just went wire to wire. I felt great. I felt like it was my tournament, I really did. I felt destined I was going to win it. My family thought I was going to win it. I even told my two nieces this morning that we're going to Disney World.'

In what would be the final hand of the tournament, which happened in Level 28 (25,000/50,000/5,000) on Hand #176, Zarco limped from the button and Turner raised to 200,000. Zarco then shoved all in for right around a million, and Turner made the call.
