Shortly after the dinner break ended, MSPT legend Umut Ozturk joined the field to battle it out for a piece of the $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Ozturk has recorded 74 MSPT Main Event cashes in his career so far, finishing 18 times in the top ten and winning twice. Even more impressively, Ozturk recently became the first two-time player of the year winner in the history of the MSPT, winning the accolade twice in a row in 2023 and 2024 before finishing second in the POY race in 2026.
