Morning.
9 MTT's are included today, aggregate Guarantees of £44,000 were exceeded by 59% as the prize pools registered £69,750. I've known many UKOPS nights where neither the guarantees or prize pools reached such numbers.
At this time of year of course it stays light longer, which always negatively affects online poker traffic & causes guarantees to be lowered, but right now, sadly, we can't even leave the house, so online poker - & poker players - continue to be a surprise beneficiary of this desperate situation.
Who could ever have envisaged all this at the start of the year?

£3,000 Bounty Hunter (£3,750)
This £3,000 BH has a hefty £55 price tag, & with the new Big Weekend BH (£110 entry) starting half an hour later I mused to Sky James whether there was room for both. He was in no doubt both would do fine, & was shown to be right. It really is a good job my colleagues in Sky Towers never listen to me.
I have very little data on the winner, though I suspect he is quite new. He's been MTT-awol for 4 or 5 days but returned with a bang & pocketed £1,000, or £999.87 if we want to be picky.
Runner-up was Tyrian, last spotted running 3rd in that £6,000 BH that ran at 7pm on Sundays back in February.
The Heavy Brigade were all lined up behind.

£10,000 Big Weekend Bounty Hunter (£16,300)
This was a new MTT making it's debut & it announced itself with a whopping £16,300 prize pool. At the turn of the year £6,000 mains were struggling to cover, & now here's a sidey making over £16,000.Corey took the win & with it a most handsome £2,900+. Pretty tough FT mind, with gac123 & Lord Crush in close attendance.
In 4th & 5th we saw echoes of Rumble in the Jungle as CassClay & forman bumped heads, though purists will remind me that Clay had become Ali by then. All of which will be lost on those who are not at least 60 years old.
Amongst those who lobbied for weekday MTT's like this was cabbaz, so I suppose it was poetic justice that he managed to help himself to a few bob.

£15,000 Avenger Rebuy B/Hunter (£22,780)
ozzieowen must hope this month will go on forever. During UKOPS he ran 2nd in UKOPS 21 for £3,178, his biggest cash to date, then less than a fortnight later topped that last night with a £3,600+ score.In 2nd was mnolan8317, who introduced himself yesterday on the Forum Daily Question thread. If you don't read those, well you should, there's all manner of info & stuff on there. Most of his volume - some 80% - seems to be on SNG's, but he does just fine in MTT's too. Some £1,750 was his take-home here, though I noted he had a bigger result here back in 2015. On which note, a little quiz for you this morning - see the foot of this post.
Melty, 6th in the 7pm BH, was 7th this time. Bad night by his standards.

So, today's little quiz.
The biggest previous cash here by mnolan8317 was all the way back in February 2015 when he ran 3rd in the £20,000 Super Roller for £1,970. The winner that night took home £5,400. He's well known on Sky Poker & on this forum. Without cheating or googling, take a guess at who it was. If you get it right you cheated. Or are the man himself.
£5,000 Mini Avenger Rebuy B/Hunter (£9,270)
On to the Mini, which had 884 uniques & made £9,270. Ridiculous.
lfirk, who ran 6th in Sharpshooter Main last Autumn, had a PB here taking home over £1,200.
3rd was lwwl, who was 2nd in Mid Ex the previous evening. If you are puzzled by the alias "lwwl", it's probably Welsh for Fred.

£2,000 Mega Stack B/Hunter (£3,280)
Crikey, this is write-up #4 & we have not even reached 9pm yet, I'll be here all day at this rate.
This Megastack is proving to be really popular & seems to have filled a hole. With a prize pool last night of over £3,000, it's handy enough too.
Plenty of familiar names here, with mkgunner, who played 2 x £1.20 All-In Sats to it & won one, collecting £570. He's been playing MTT's here for over 12 years now (over 67,000 of them) & just steadily making good money year after year. He "only" makes about ten bob per MTT, but over a sample size of 67,000, that adds up to a tidy few bob. Really pleased for him, he's never a spot of bother on the Forum or tables. Amazing how many players have been here since Day 1. They've never seen times like this though.
3rd was another who never complains, moans, groans or chunters, Jac35. He will be concentrating on Streak Week in the coming days I imagine. He did have a 6 streak yesterday, but I'm confident that won't get him ion the Leaderboard, as it was 6 losses.
Sunday Milly ledge chrisdonkb, seemingly a hero to MisterPJ if I read his cryptic posts correctly, was 6th.
In 7th was another Forum favourite, @waller02. Again, we learned a great deal about him on a recent Forum Daily Question threads You really should read those, they are mines of info.

£1,500 Midnight Express B/Hunter (£3,240)
You'll be pleased to know i'm nearly done now, though not half as pleased as I am, I was hoping for a quiet Saturday but this seems to have taken me all morning.
In only his 6th MTT of the month, GarryBarry took this down ahead of the jaintily aliased JonTsnow. 6th was purehaste who needs to learn to be more patient.

£1,000 Rewards Freeroll (1,783 entries)
Earlier in the week I hypothesised that the Rewards Freeroll gets less & less runners as it goes through the week. I sure got that right.

Here's some Saturday music, performed by an outrageously attired Elton John.
Was it Matt Bates or TommyD ?
The biggest previous cash here by mnolan8317 was all the way back in February 2015 when he ran 3rd in the £20,000 Super Roller for £1,970. The winner that night took home £5,400.

Your friend , and an “all round” good guy hyffty?
Sadly not 😊
Plumpy? Can't ever imagine he's had a win that big.
I'm gonna say Maxally.
We have a winner, though Lord knows how he got it.
@LmfaoAllin
Ooh dear, fighting talk.
Riposte no doubt incoming.
