Morning.
Broadly speaking, last night's numbers were on a par w-o-w, though down on the figures 2 & 3 weeks ago. This will be the trend now, a gentle decline as more & more live sport returns & folks return to Sports Betting. It will bottom out eventually, but I think some of the increased traffic will remain, maybe 20% of it. How long that will take is hard to say, & of course a new platform is on the horizon for Sky Poker, so everything will change then. One thing you can guarantee - & you can bet your house on this - is that those who complain most about the current software will be the first to say "I wish you'd left it as it was". Such is Sod's Law & poker players.
A bright spot last night was the Main & Mini, both of which improved w-o-w. The Big Weekend BH thing held up well too, just £200 down at £12,200. Compared to 3 months ago these numbers are still unthinkably high, though I admit my glass of life is always half-full.

£3,000 Bounty Hunter (£3,700)
We don't hear too much about the winner, though he ran 5th in the Big Weekend BH 4 weeks back, & had a deep run in Tuesday's Gold Rush Main.
Runner-up ApolloCree must love this one - he won it on successive nights last week.
3rd was Zeusbites, who won Midnight Express recently. That alias is ironic, as in Greek mythology, Zeus's father, Kronos, swallowed his children when they were born in case they overthrew him. Zeus escaped though & was hidden in a cave until he grew up, at which point he emerged from his cave, stole his Dad's scythe & then cut him into little pieces, throwing the body parts into a nearby river. True story Bro, look it up.

Makaka, a recent Summit winner, took the honours.
3rd was miniman88, who we have not seen much of lately, I fancy he's been getting the lot at Sky Poker's step-sister site, Pokerstars.
4th was Palace Bloke who went on a hot streak at the end of May but has been unusually subdued since.

Well here's a thing, Boring Bloke wins the Main. Hurts me to say it, but well done mate. All joking aside, he's a good man & a friend, & he always finds time when in Vegas to come see me in the Media Centre for a chat. He's been running a bit thin of late, but £3,000 will balance his ledger nicely. (Do accountants still have "physical" ledgers? They used to be huge great books, but I guess ledgers are all done on software these days).
Note Bliiiinds in 4th, more on which later, Groggs in 5th & Ebbers in 6th.
In 10th was Madaxeman, who offered the other players a chop and was surprised when they all ran away screaming.

Crikey, the last time appeared in a Results Thread was October 2012.
Fun & games too, as runner-up Bliiiind also finalled the Main, & so was in with a chance of the £5,000 FTJ. 2nd & 4th was the eventual outcome, so he picks up a very nice £500 Bonus.
5th was Nero543, who I'd like to think was named after the Roman Emperor but the alias is probably named after the chain of coffee shops.

This went to LittleGJ, who was 2nd in a Mini just over a month ago. A very successful & profitable player, he sticks to his preferred modest stakes & just keeps printing money.
2nd was nme2340, which reminded me of the pop music newspaper back in the day. There were 2 actually - NME (New Musical Express) & Melody Maker. Compulsive reading, both of them. God knows if they still exist.

Surely thats some kind of record for most heads and lowest finishing position!
Good spot, & yes, that must surely be a record. Amazing stat. (770 runners).
