Very interesting night last night, so we'll crack on, but first the Overlay Report.
After Friday's Overlay City, and with the glorious weather yesterday, there were glum faces galore heading into last night's UKOPS Day 5 renewal. And just when you least expect it, it turned out pretty well, with 6 of the 7 covering, & just the Main missing.
UKOPS 29, G'tee £3,000, made £3,160
Think Sky Poker will Take That. Could this be the magic at last?

UKOPS 29, £3,000 BH, 7pm
The cliche "lightning strikes twice" crops up here as @Essexphil romped to his 2nd win of this UKOPS, adding this to UKOPS 19 which he took down on Thursday. That's an elite club, it's been done a few times, but it's pretty rare, so congrats to my fellow Fat Club member.The alias of 4th placed AlanBond stirred memories of the real Alan Bond, who was, or so it seemed, an immensely successful Australian businessman, & something of a tall poppy. Then the wheels came off big time, he went bankrupt, & ended up serving 4 years in clink for fraud, & then died a year or two back from heart failure. What a story.
Since @Wacko90 won his Vegas package, he can't stop cashing. Good to see, he's one of those rarities in poker who does not have a single enemy or detractor.

This man is on a roll too, can't stop cashing, he obly returned to Sky Poker MTT's yesterday after a 2 month break, ran 2nd in Friday's Main & thrn had a good run at this one. An 85% ROI says it all.

I failed to mention a fine effort by @waller02 yesterday, so I thought I'd try & make amends today. Probably could have chosen a better day tbh.

UKOPS 30, £1,500 PLO8 BH, 7.30pm
Never was a win more deserved, @eon1961 has dominated the Sky Poker PLO8 DYM scene for years, racking up 30,000 of them & turning a nice profit too. In fact I was & still am, according to Sharky, his "Most Frequent Opponent, as we have shared DYM tables almost 7,000 times, of which he probably got the better of me at least 6,000 times. We both share the same "Field Address" against our name, "Ilkeston", and I've lost count of how many times some (not very) bright spark has suggested that because we live in the same town we must be colluding. In fact I've not lived in Ilkeston for 8 years, but why let the facts get in in the way of a bad loser on the rant? Gotta love dem boys.
And look who was 2nd - @Essexphil again. So 2 wins & a 2nd already. Seems like TOWIE.
Can't stop mentioning 5th placed @ChIpSiSbK, he's making up for lost time it seems.

UKOPS 31, £15,000 BH Main Event 8pm
Until I mentioned the burning questions about his alias yesterday, I had never heard of @ibetmyho28 , but he has popped up again already, winning the Main event, a UKOPS Bracelet, & a modicum of fame & glory. Inside 24 hours his reported profit on Sharky has doubled. Well play Ho bloke.
@BooBooTheB continues his quest for the Total Player honours with a fine 2nd, beating off Melty in 3rd, with @Makaka , of whom I know nothing, securing his umpteenth cash of the series.
@ItsOver4U, fresh from a win on Friday, made another Final too.

UKOPS 32, £3,000 BH Mini 8.30pm
It was always highly likely that @cpfc_2010 would take down at least one UKOPS, & he got the ball rolling last night. His profits are edging towards £60,000 on Sharky now.
@sophie1805 was 2nd, & if that was not his/her best result ever I'll be very surprised.
In 3rd @Khizzy10 seems to be a Sky Poker MTT newbie, with just 10 games to his credit, all in the last week. Good stuff Khizzy.
@Rhysybhoy (4th) has played just 8 MTT's in 3 years, & this was the first for 2 years.
6th placed @neenio is highly profitable, rated at 82 & with £60,000 of profit, but this was only his 2nd appearance in the current UKOPS.

UKOPS 33, £4,000 BH 9pm
I wish I knew something about the winner, he has been cashing endlessly, but his Sharky is locked, which is quite unusual for what seems to me to be a big winner. Well done him, anyway. He was sitting 3rd in Total Player after Day 5, maybe even higher now, so I might yet get to meet him & know him in Vegas.
@StayOrGo was 7th in Total Player after Day 4, so this will do him no harm at all. A good man, proper good man, who works tirelessly for Charity & the Community here.
@devil_tear was also doling well in TP, 6th after Day 4. Think I first met him in Punta Cana a few years back, really interesting & bright chap, with a lovely lady on his arm.
@Curt360x27 was having, I think, his first UKOPS cash of the series, which is as surprise, as he's a bit of a hotshot.

Fabulous result for the 59 rated @S2H_19, and I was chuffed to see @edrich in 2nd, a nicer man you could never wish to meet.UKOPS 34, £2,000 Turbo BH 9.30pm
In yesterday's write up we gave mention to @MARK277 who had the misfortune to find himself Heads Up against the beast that is @railtard11 in the Mega Stack, & almost inevitably ended up 2nd. He came on the thread & wrote this;
"WOOHOO finally managed to make it onto one of the updates"
Well another WHOHOO is in order, as he made another Final, & edged ever closer towards his target of making his Sharky profitable. Keep it going Mark, you are on a roll now & you can do it.

So that's it for another day, & only 2 more to do & then I'm done, which I'm quite relieved about. Don't suppose I'm alone in thinking that either.
Was pleasantly surprised to see that yesterday's Report had the best "24 hour Views" of all of them, no idea why though.
Now I'm off to watch a great day's sporting action on TV - the snooker, SuperBikes from Silverstone, Everton v Man U, Cardiff v Liverpool. What a time to be alive.
We all miss you at the plo8 tables.
No falling off the cliff visible here, just a gentle plateau
Chin up crusher. I'm sure the wheels haven't fallen off and you'll be peaking again presently. gl for the remainder of UKOPS.
Speaking of crushers congratulations to @Essexphil , absolutely smashing it
Also @Tikay10 . As it happens I was actually chatting to @Makaka at the tables yesterday (great player, nice guy) I said something along the lines of aren't you tempted to unlock your Scope to see how pretty your graph is?... don't know if he was just humouring me but he said he would...
Can honestly say that I look forward to the write-ups every day, especially if I have had some luck the previous day. Thanks also to @MynaFrett, above.
So-up to 2nd (or "First of the Losers"), and desperate to go to Vegas. Think I might play a few UKOPS today and tomorrow. Bring. It. On. GL all.
Thanks mate. I miss you guys, too.
Don't be surprised if I turn up soon & get back on it.
After that, I just know you are going to won one tonight. I shall qoute your post, too.
GL tonight mate.
Well he has not so so yet. We live in hope.
PS - next time you chat to him, tell him to get himself on the Forum.
@Essexphil
Thanks mate, & gl in the remaining 2 days. Win the Package & we could have an OAP's night out in Vegas.
