Who won what on Tuesday 24th March. When is a Mini not a Mini?

Morning.
Tuesday's are a big MTT night on Sky Poker, as it includes Summit, which has been £6,000 for some time, until bumped up to £10,000 recently. Not easy targets then, but despite that, the £25,500 of Guarantees on last night's Big Six was beaten by an eye-watering 64%, coming in at £41,845.
So, numbers which had been off the scale over the weekend, dropped back slightly on Monday, then went up again last night.
Pleasingly, the software worked perfectly, such as it can.
Of course, poker is a complete irrelevance in the greater scheme of things, when this dreadful virus is killing so many & disrupting our lives so badly.
President Trump said last night that the virus would be "all over by April, its a beautiful timeline, a very beautiful timeline". No no, he really said that, & it's on video. It's almost impossible to ever hope Trump is right but let's hope he is, though I fancy there's more chance of Team Rigged ever saying "yup, I was wrong, I'm sorry for being so stupid".
Finally, last night's Mini exceeded 1,000 runners. When was the last time that happened? Extraordinary. The Mini has, for the most part, missed out on the MTT traffic bonanza during the last week or so, but last night was a Mega Stack BH & I fancy these are the most popular variant of Mini. The old guard - & let's be fair, old people suck - keep saying "bring back freezeouts, they are proper poker", but the facts suggest players prefer the crash-bang wallop stuff.

This went to EASYFIX who has been here as long as I can remember, pretty sure it's 10+ years.
2nd was DONATE2ME, so close to winning this for the 2nd night in a row, & the third time in a month.

railtard11, one of THE most aggressive players I've ever known booked the win. Sharing a table - especially a FT - with him can't be much fun, he's relentless.
A superb 3rd place for @Shelley7 who so often has self-doubts. This ought to help erase them.
Palace Bloke was 5th for around £700. Loose change to him.

Extraordinary, 1,027 runners. One player finished 951st despite taking a head prize, which is an unusual stat.
JRA68, getting his first ever forum namecheck, navigated his way through this minefield & his Sharky graph continued it's eerily ziggy-zaggy course.
Splendid efforts too by tomgoodun in 3rd & MISTY in 6th, well done chaps.
Excellent effort by @chrisdonkb too, who was just 896 places shy of the win.

ChipsSiSbK, playing just his 5th MTT since winning Sheriff 9 days earlier & his only MTT of the evening made it count.
It was real heavy-hitter stuff, with heddoh18, SPT Vegas winner Granite89 & SPT Winner miniman all in the top 4.
Terrific result in 7th by PBKR too.

A 2nd win in 4 nights for appendicitis, after taking Sheriff last Saturday.
chriscardy was 4th. "Cardy" used to be a nickname for "cardigans" we wore as kids but I think the term has died out of late. I was curious what actually defines a "cardigan" so I enlisted the help of Professor Google, who said;
A sweater is a general term for any knitted top. A cardigan is a sweater with buttons or a zipper down the front. A pullover is a sweater that does not have buttons or a closure in front. ... However a cardigan can still be a sweater.
That cleared that up then.
