Numbers have been in the doldrums for a week or so, but a much better night last night. The Main, which has been on a bad run, sailed over, while Quickdraw & Mid Ex covered by 55% & 42% respectively.
Happy days.
Vegas stuff starts on Monday, which always generates a bit of buzz, so fingers crossed that goes well. We'll add all pertinent Vegas results to the thread of course.

Don't have much data on SHYBOY51, no mentions or posts on the Forum ever. Perhaps the clue is in the name.
avix was 5th. I had the dubious pleasure of sharing tables with him at SPT Manchester. "pleasure" as he's a smashing bloke, "dubious" as he took my pants down all day. A delight to watch but not much fun to play against.
As Chairman of the Veronica Brill Fan Club I was pleased to see SzaryPolak final, as it gives me the excuse I need to post another photo of Ms Brill.

What a strange alias the winner has. Think if someone addressed me as "ufud" I might just be offended. He won Predator Mini back in November, so he's taken a step up in class. WP Mr Fud, you were certainly on a different level to runner-up storrie1.
Boring Accountant was 3rd, which adds up, & good old trevil25, with whom I've shared hundreds (thousands?) of PLO8 tables with over the years, was 4th. Well done lads.

_Smoothe_ took the win, I well recall him having a decent Xmas UKOPS back in 2016.
Runner-up was @MynaFrett. What a shame we don't see him on the Forum these days, though of course I don't blame him, we all have so many ways to spend our leisure time. He was such a great Forum member though, started threads & engaged a lot with others, proper conversation starter.
miniman88 ran 5th with 1 eye on the TV as the Arsenal crashed out of Europe against some bubble & squeaks.

Made up for not FT this one by winning the £3 PL08 tournament, It’s fab that Skypoker put these type of tournaments on, gives us lesser mortals a chance to make a bit of cash whilst having fun along the way, what’s not to like? ❤️
I'm not sure you can self-exclude from the Forum, but either way, I hope he's OK, he seems a good guy to me.
@trevil25 @Enut
Ha, sorry I've cut off your side income boys.
Seriously, I miss playing here more than I can possibly say. Thing is, when 'Stars bought the shop, the rules about someone in my position playing on the site changed, so I'm not 100% sure I'm permitted to.
When chance permits, I'll have a word with one of the Big Cheeses & see what they say.
PS - thanks for the kind words.
