Good morning.
Traffic was good again last night, though with the Big 6 coming in 30% above Guarantees, not quite reaching the heady & probably unsustainable heights of Saturday & Sunday.
For Sky Bet - the Sports Betting arm of SB&G - of course things are much much worse, with no Sports to bet on, though I imagine the gaming arm (Vegas, Casino, Bingo etc) are probably seeing the "isolation surge" that Poker are experiencing. It's bad for so many businesses of course - Airlines, Holiday related companies, theatres, pubs, restaurants are all suffering terribly. And it's horrific to think how many folks will lose their jobs. Supermarkets are enjoying a surge, but once it's all over they will see the opposite as people use up the stocks they have hoarded.
In sport, anyone like to guess how many lower league football clubs will go busto? No regular gate income is the death knell for them.
We have seen from the micro sample of players here on the Sky Poker forum some are suffering already, we have 2 musicians who have lost all their work & gigs, & Madprof, who I believe is a cook, seeing all his jobs dry up.
Above all, people will get sick, many will not survive.
It seems a bit out of order to bang on about poker results amongst all that, but we all need something to bring some light relief in these terrible times. And it'll be great, once it's all over, to say we got through it together.
On we go then.

£1,000 Bounty Hunter @ 7.30pm (£1,380)
Lovely result for jamy999, who has not figured in these threads for some time. He ran 3rd in the 7 at 7 a few nights earlier, too.
Good old cheezy, who we have not seen on the Forum for far too long, was 2nd, and later he had a small cash in the Mini. Be great to hear from him.

The win went to podgeno4, who seems to mainly play £50 HU speed stuff, so that would have come in handy when this was down to 2.
Runner-up was HAYSIE, who argued as hard as he could - & that man can argue for Wales - to no avail.
After looking for him here & looking for him there, the player in 5th was eventually found.

Fishdog77 has been steadily profitable here for some 5 years, though this was his first MTT for almost a fortnight.
Terrific result for bbMike, though I would think he was disappointed not to close the deal, & the same replies to splashies in 5th.

£2,000 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£2,650)
Heavy hitter Sharki0 booked the win, & beware, this man is streaky & tends to get big scores in batches. In the space of a week in February, he was 1st & 3rd in Quickdraw, 4th in Predator & 2nd in the Sunday Major. You have been warned.
As so often with Sheriff, it was a beast of a FT.
In the "play the rush" department, in 5th place there was more money for @chrisdonkb, who as we all know, won a £4,000 Vegas package on Monday in the Giveaway. Some people are so lucky.

It looked like avian would win this, as he was flying, but destinycod got there, as he so often does.
MAXALLY made the FT, but went home empty-handed, as did Rooob. That must suck.

It's that man destinycod again, & good to see HANSON was in the mix too.
Just 13 entries for this, perhaps due to the uncertainly about it going ahead. Maybe traffic will puck up now it's been clarified on the Forum, here;

I've just realised that it was not @chrisdonkb won won the £4,000 Vegas Package, complete with luxury hotel & all that, but @miniman88.
My sincere apologies to miniman for the confusion, & the hurt I may have caused him.
