Vegas Semi
Just 32 runners for this, so with 10 x £430 seats Guaranteed into this Sunday's Final, a hefty chunk of overlay.
Love the alias of the player in 5th, especially the puntastic spelling.
The 10th & last seat winner,
@giesahaun won his entry in the Grand National Forum Comp, so I'll be railing him to do well in the Final.

This sailed over the Guarantee line with 10% to spare.The winner, @avix is a member of the "Crusher Study Group", which is a great example of why "Community" is good. You can read about them here;
https://community.skypoker.com/discussion/174554/crusher-study-group#latest
Avix has a 63% ROI over a 600+ game sample, which whilst a small sample, is pretty food.
In 3rd was @68Trebor, who is doling a Bankroll Challenge & Diary, here;
https://community.skypoker.com/discussion/126225/the-return-of-68trebor/p22
With his bankroll down to dust on Saturday, he entered a few satellites, & a few hours later had cashed in both Main & Mini, & then followed up with a 3rd in this.
@HAYSIE was 6th, taking a chunk of chips from @68Trebor with a flopped boat. MBN to be HAYSIE.

Two outstanding performances merit mention, @Jac35 in 173, his misery compounded when @cpfc_2010 outlasted him by 3 spots. Grumpy mood incoming.

Sunday Major
Missed g'tee by 4 entries/rebuys, so not great.Fabulous result for another member of the Crusher Study Group when @chrisdonkb donked to victory. Owner of a Sharky Gold Star, he now has £28,000 of profit from 3,000 games with a very healthy 57% ROI. Bloke's a natural, with great temperament & no ego issues.
Runner-up @rndmmuppet has been MIA from Sky Poker MTT's for a fortnight, & @ziggy01 was batting way above average in 3rd.
In 5th was @bigggballs playing his first Sky Poker MTT in 7 months, with the boy Groggs in 6th.

Easily covered guarantee.At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Crusher Study Group shipped their 3rd win of the evening when @jubb romped home with BLUESTONES 2nd.
If anyone can come up with a suggestion as to what the alias @djsnorlax (3rd) might mean, I'm all ears.

Meanwhile, not everyone was enjoying their evening, poor old @spulding had a torrid night if his Forum Post in The Poker Clinic means anything;
"sky poker can just **** off!!!! I was biggest of tournament!!! and then I just could't enter the game 4 20-25 minutes!!! 4k off skypoker!!!"
Regular readers will know I get bemused by multiple punctuation marks, but 13 of them in a sentence of around 20 words takes some beating. Let's hope he has a better day today.

Quickdraw
A perfectly acceptable 35 hopefuls for this.Our man Froozle topped the field, & look who ran 3rd, none other than @NChanning.
That's Vicky Coren with Ambo, and the occasion was the Bluff Europe Awards a few years back. I had been nominated for an Award, & Neil invited me to share a table with him & Miss C. Unforch, we barely had time to chat with Vicky, as she was trotting up to the Table every 10 minutes to collect various (& well-deserved) Awards & went home with a carrier-bad full of trophies, whilst I went home empty-handed, as per. They eventually gave me an Award the next year, which resulted in the worst photo of me ever ever ever, & one which I have no intention of sharing with you.

Once again @peter27 ran 7th in this but failed to collect a single Bounty, exactly as he did a night or so earlier. Think he's on a bit of an anti-heater right now.

@Jac35
Is it ice-cream?
Separated at birth maybe?....Again, no need to thank me.
FML
Never knew that. I'll keep an eye out for the Results & maybe post them here later in the week.
I'm still waiting to see the official result of GPS Stoke, where TIMBER did so well, but both Genting & THM seem to be dragging their heels.
Thanks for the mention Tikay. Battling my way into the top 97% of finishers is a sign of real progress in my MTT game.
