UKOPS Day 2, who won what? Grumpy Bloke wins UKOPS MTT shocker.

Afternoon.
I was quite pleased with how many Views yesterday's UKOPS Update got, roughly treble those of a non-UKOPS "who won what?", but the litmus test is if that number is sustained on Day 2 & onwards. If folks enjoyed the first one they will keep reading subsequent ones, if they don't, they won't. We shall see. Think I'll take the unders.
Comments
Over at Party, of course, they are throwing overlay out there deliberately, as part of their land-grab to try to soak up 'Stars business. Dangerous game that, in the long-term, but good luck to them.
Anyway, here's yesterday's UKOPS numbers.
UKOPS 08, G'tee £3,000, made £3,300
UKOPS 09, G'tee £3,000, made £2,940
UKOPS 10, G'tee £15,000, made £15,600
UKOPS 11, G'tee £3,000, made £3,345
UKOPS 12, G'tee £4,000, made £4,050
UKOPS 13, G'tee £2,000, made £2,070
UKOPS 14, G'tee £4,000, made £4,300
So that's two really good days so far.
Whether it can be sustained remains to be seen. Typically, as a UKOPS progresses, fatigue sets in, & the numbers start to decline. And then there's the Easter effect. Will folks go out at Easter, maybe go away to their caravan at Skeggy, or stay at home & play the pokers? Then there's the weather. The forecast is a very hot weekend, which, if true, won't help.
So what will it be, the beach, or the poker?
UKOPS 8, £3,000 BH, 7pm
Well now, what a night for @TommyD. He's a huge Spurs fan, and what a ride they had last night. 90 minutes had long passed, Spurs were though. Then City scored, & Spurs were out. Then VAR intervened & they were back in. Isn't sport great?
Anyway, well done TommyD, smashing bloke & been with Sky Poker as long as I can remember. He does - or used to do - a Hospital Radio commentary of Spurs matches, & for that, much respect. Tommy loves live poker, too, can barely contain his excitement.
Runner-up hazelwoo05 is a high volume DYM player, currently sitting 6th on the 2019 "Count" Leaderboard.
In 4th, chrisdonkb was earning his 2nd decent result of the series, having run 10th in the Main on Day 1.

The brutality of variance in tournament poker was demonstrated by this bunch who were all at the very rear of the field, with UKOPS ace @Froozle last of all, just behind scotty, avix, timeforbed & Guitar Bloke.

UKOPS 9, £3,000 Deep Stack, 7.30pm
The only one not to hit it's guarantee last night, & the only non Bounty Hunter. Coincidence? Well it only missed by 4 runners, & sample size tells us the evidence is flawed, so maybe best not to read anything into it.Winner rockrose plays a fair bit here, but I doubt he's ever had a bigger or better win than this, wp him.
kimpet loves a Turbo, he's a real any-two will do merchant, and he's having a decent week, winning Monday's Quickdraw, & getting a third in the UKOPS Day 1 Turbo.
5th & 6th were JordyAA & devil_tear, both of whom are very handy.

UKOPS 10, £15,000 Main Event, 8pm
After running 6th in UKOPS 9, devil_tear made no mistake this time & came home the winner, & gets himself a UKOPS bracelet too.
Regular UKOPS combatant peiratis88 was 2nd, & it was to be the first of a brace of 3rd placed UKOPS finishes during the evening for loololollo, who now boasts over £120,000 of MTT profit here on Sky Poker.
The deliciously-aliased RollOneUp has played just 6 MTT's here in 6 years, and this was the first in 6 months. Guess he'll be back for Xmas UKOPs. Xmas 2025.
Crusher Group crusher avix was 6th, 8 spots ahead of fellow Crusher Group founder ItsOver4U.

3rd in the previous event, kimpet was last but one this time. That's called reversion to the mean.

UKOPS 11, £3,000 Mini, 8.30pm
The winner seems to mainly play 1 or 2 Turbo DYM's a day & not much else, but dipped his toe in deeper waters last night & came up with a very nice win.
The guy in 3rd presumably prefers underlay to overlay. (Just for @Enut). On which note, best to move on quickly.

Top of the pole was kodiak who is developing into a tidy player, & beat off Froozle for the win.

kapowblamz got a minor cash, though I suspect he won a lot more by betting the shop on Liverpool last night.

In the Father & Son stakes, the boy finished higher but the Dad won more, so we'll call that a draw.

Well well well, Grumpy Bloke took the win, for his 2nd Final of the series, & at this rate, a Total Player challenge is possible. At this rate he'll having nothing to moan about, & that won't do at all.

As long as I can remember, UKOPS nights have finished with this exact MTT, but it seems to show no signs of fatigue & still gets the required numbers.No mistake for the Dad this time as he sweeps imperiously to his first win of the Series.
Dad 2, Son 1.

Tonight? More of the same really, but there's a PLO8 affair, ideal for elderly fish. Think I might be obliged to indulge. In the PLO 2 days ago I was gone before Late Reg ended. Can I beat that?

The Leaderboard is hotting up nicely. GL all!
P.S. Father has to get one over on son occasionally.
