8pm £40,000 Super Sunday Main Event
295 uniques & 66 rebuys amounted to £36,100, so there was £3,900 of free money in the pot.
Cream rose to the top here, with the average Sharkscope rating of the 6 Finalists no less than 82, & none of them had a rating lower than 73.
Top of the shop was
@steggy1987, who I'm not familiar with, but his average stake here is (relatively) high & he seems to be a decent winner.
Next came
@LBenjamin, not sure where his alias arises but as many of you know, a "Benjamin" is slang for a $100 bill, as it features a photo of Benjamin Franklin.
In third was the familiar name & face of
@Bromley04. Here's money-spinner Adam as you have never seen him before;
4th was
@ironpump1 who is having a great January. He collected just shy of £2,000 here, to add to the similar sum he earned for winning the £10k guaranteed Sharpshooter on January 5th, & he now sits 3rd in the table of "Most profitable MTT-er on Sky Poker 2019".
Highest-rated player at the table was
@Gambelo in 5th, which means he is now the 4th most profitable MTT player on Sky Poker in 2019.
Finally, in 6th was
@BIGMAN790.
In Team Nearly But Not Quite we saw good efforts from
@jordz16 (8th),
@peiratis88 (9th),
@Thoich (13th),
@Solack (15th),
@beefheart1(18th),
@cpfc_2010 (20th), &
@HAYSIE (25th).

A monster 662 runner field for this.
Delighted to see @PKRPar emerge victorious, collecting some £1,400, which will do his P & L account no harm at all.
Runner-up was @ozzieowen, with @Alan196522 3rd, @stuart477 4th, @buzzle13 5th & @GuyL2 6th.
Finally, Sky Poker send their best regards to the 24th placed finisher, @skypokerfu.
We think - not 100% sure - that @LBenjamin might be the chap who took the most money in a 3 way ICM chop at SPT Brighton in 2017, here he is; (possibly)
James also tells me that last night's Main Event winner @steggy1987 also won last Tuesday's Gold Rush, so he's another one having a decent January.
Biggest single tourney win on sky (excluding the jackpot final table night a while back. It was also the longest heads up match I've ever played, especially against @ozzieowen. It lasted about 40 minutes or so and I didn't end up getting to sleep until after 2.30, with me getting up for work this morning at 7 lol.
I have had a very good month indeed. There was a very interesting hand that went down when there were 12 left. The short stack shoved UTG, Steggy being the chip leader iso'd from the button the small blind jams then the big blind tank calls it off I forget what the short stack had but SB had KK BB had JJ and steggy had iso'd with QJo he turned the nuts and scored the triple knockout, huge bounty and a massive chip lead. Needless to say I was pretty happy to ladder up around £500 in that one hand.
My bust hand was quite nasty AA vs 88 all in pre. I'm not to sad that though I had nursed a 15bb stack for most of the tournament.
