This came up just 3 runners shy of the £10,000 Guarantee, so not too bad all things considered.
Top of the pile was old hand gadgerno1, rated at 93 on Sharky, which is high by any standards.
Runner-up GregUK sits 4th on the 2019 Sky Poker "Count" leaderboard, so that's a ton of volume.
3rd placed Bess02 had not played an MTT here since Christmas Day. Welcome back Bess.
In 4th was bigstack75, who has a profit graph that's going up nicely, though it has taken him 11 years to play just 883 MTT's.

A deep run by Angmar26 in 19th, a decent win can't be far away for him.

This beat target by 23%, very nice too.Winner BooBooTheB is going along nicely, & now has over £25,000 in MTT profits here. Think he's going to have a good UKOPS.

Spotted the alias roytheboy7 in 16th place, presumably named in homage to Roy Brindley. Many new generation players will not have heard of Roy, but there was a period when he was the most successful player in Europe. Prior to poker, he was a Greyhound Trainer, but the wheels came off & he ended up living on the street.
He got himself sorted though, & was the face of Ladbrokes Poker for many years, who were the biggest & best poker site in Europe. How things change. He eventually fell out with them over an Affiliates deal & ended up suing them.
These days he is a F1 tipster, & it's fair to say he tends to come up with left-field selections.
Roy married a lovely girl named Mags, who was the TD at the old Merrion Cardroom in Dublin, & they have a family now & live in Wicklow. Still playing a bit of poker, & had a nice result just a fortnight ago.
He wrote a book, too, called "Life's a Gamble", which sits on my bookshelf just inches away from where I am currently sitting in a sort of miscellaneous section.

Crystal Palace got a result away to Newcastle yesterday, but it was not all plain sailing for Palace fans as we can see here, in 491st of 492 runners.....

Quite a popular one this, with the £2,000 Guarantee being bested by some 30%. ("being bested" sounds like shocking grammar, & probably is).No prisoners were taken at the sharp end of this as alancarr12, Gsmith13 & ItsOver4U battled it out for the highest steps on the podium. Aggro, or what?
The oddity is that the winner took 12 Head Prizes whilst runner-up Gsmith13 got none at all. How that happen?

37 runners here (needing 30), & if it can remain at or near that level it'll be fine.
Winner SenorBegs took his MTT winnings to £115,000, & he's now the 2nd most profitable MTT-er on Sky Poker in 2019, though he'll need to double his winnings to catch the current # 1, Villain Bates.

Good to see PhilAny2_Q amongst the runners, in his first MTT here since New Years Day. Very good player, a Sharky spinning gold star & everything.
