A very good Monday morning to you.
Another week of lockdown ends & it's encouraging to see that across the globe they are starting to ease restrictions. Our turn is a few weeks away yet - minimum - but come it will. We all just to hang in there & stay safe until then.
Meanwhile, poker continues to thrive, & we saw another set of sparkling numbers last night. Pick of the bunch was undoubtedly the Major, more of which later.
OK, off we go.

£10,000 Bounty Hunter (£14,670)
This one has quite a background, earlier this year it was a £6,000 affair, which was upped to £8,000, before it was switched off for UKOPS. It returned last night wearing it's new £10,000 coat & went on to make an impressive £14,670. This was more than the Sunday Major made most weeks pre-boom.
I can't find a single previous mention of the winner on the Forum, so this is his debut, & what a start it is, collecting ~£2,250.
Runner-up kenmillon has 4 previous 2020 mentions, including 2nd in Marksman Main in February.
twistedole & wineli arew thread regulars of course.
In via a satellite & collecting £300 shows mint knows how to make money.

£20,000 Sunday Major (£29,500)
The Major has had quite a year. It was £12,000 to start with & was just about covering most weeks, before being bumped to £15,000 & peaking at an all-time high of £28,400 on March 29th. It was then turned off for UKOPS & returned last night wearing it's £20,000 badge & ended up with a new Sunday Major record of £29,500.For those who are interested in such things, it was a single rebuy, with 252 uniques, plus 43 who availed themselves of a second chance.
stack_u, who we see at most of the SPT's ended up with the lot, a juicy £7,670. I had a look at his Twitter feed this morning - @stack_u - and he's been inundated with well-wishers.

£4,000 Mini Major (£4,880)
488 entries for the £11 Mini Major, & great to see it went to "147 Challenge" @NoEa5yCa5h
It was a decent evening for Team goldnballz too, as Paula won the Daily Forum Comp a few hours earlier in quite extraordinary fashion. And I doubt she even knows yet.

£2,000 Mega Stack B/Hunter(£3,700)
This MegaStack has quickly established itself & now has a firm grip on the 8.45pm slot.
What a result, too, Mearsyy returned to Sky Poker MTT's last week after a 7 year sabbatical and soon had things sorted.
A very fine 3rd for the straight-talking & well-travelled NOSTRI, he's playing off a fairly limited 'roll so this was huge for him.
One of the nicest guys I've ever met here is James, aka @LmfaoAllin who just missed the FT.

£3,000 Turbo Bounty Hunter (£4,770)
The winner returned recently after an 8 month hiatus with a small UKOPS cash before taking this one down for £970.
2nd was jordz16 who has been printing here for the best part of 8 years, & I was pleased to see him make a rare appearance on the Forum yesterday.
3rd was Ambo, who has had a few nice binks recently, with EASYFIX a fine 4th ahead of the in-form Swimmr & Danny.

@MattBates
Think I've got the right chap - young, good looking lad?
Hope you are well. One question I have always wanted to ask, no idea why it has taken me this long, is , why is the mini tournament £11 on Sunday when it is £5.50 every other night of the week? It must surely stop some people, on a restricted bank roll, from playing a tournament they would normally enter.
@pompeynic
Hi Nick.
I don't really know, probably because Sunday night is traditionally a bigger night all round. The Mains are £22 or £33 all week, then £110 on a Sunday, & the Mini goes up to £11 from £5.50.
Yes, it's stops some from playing, but though I've never done the analysis, I think the majority who normally pay £5.50 stump up £11.
I'm well thanks mate, hope you are too.
He is a small stakes grinder who has a modest average stake of just over 2 pound per game but eventually finished in 10th for 384 pounds and only busting after getting very unlucky with KK V AJ all in pre flop for a top 3 stack.
Not a bad ROI at all.
Congrats and very unlucky
