Morning.
The US Open Golf took an unexpected turn yesterday, and a chap with the weirdest swing you ever saw suddenly leads by 5 strokes. Palace went up to Old Trafford & won, and there was a spectacular upset in the Tour de France. Don't you just love sport?
One of poker's great heroes died overnight, 2009 WSOP Main runner-up Darvin Moon, who was a truly humble & lovely man.
Back on Sky Poker, it was a disappointingly quiet Saturday evening, with a smattering of missed Guarantees, easily the worst of which was the £2,000 Sheriff which fell £450 short.

£1,000 Bounty Hunter (£1,000)
BrayCorp83 has made 6 or 7 headline MTT finals this week but I think this was the first win. About time too Mr 83.
4th & 6th respectively were Formosina & RUTSTER19, both of whom are currently in sparkling form.

£8,000 Sharpshooter (£8,000)
The Sharpy went to duncan1979, who ran 2nd in the £8,000 BWBH 3 weeks ago.
4th was NOSTRI, & this must be one of his best results for some time. He cashes in all sorts but I don't recall him having a better result in the last month or two. Well done him.

£2,000 Mini Sharpshooter (£2,485)
The Mini went to one of the strangest aliases on the site, or04, who was returning after a one week MTT sabbatical. In the unlikely event he reads this, we'd be interested to know what the alias represents, it's a real odd one.
On the subject of aliases, 4 of the 6 final tablists had an alias beginning with B. Eat your heart out SWITA & your factoids.

£1,000 Mega Stack B/Hunter (£1,300)
Mega went the way of toonarm775, surely a Newcastle United fan. At least he's won something.
In 4th was hoban01 who has had a few decent scores recently, & has aspirations to get on the Sharky Sky Poker MTT leaderboard. Nothing wrong with ambition, GL my friend.
4th was -Smoothe_ who has won Hitman Main twice (so far) this year, with serial cashee Formosina 6th.
Just missing the FT but making a bit of profit was Grumpy Paul.

£2,000 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£2,000)
Remarkably - or perhaps not, as we know he is well handy - Sharki0 was winning Sheriff for the 2nd time in 3 nights.
2nd was pacman821, who won Monday's Main.

A lovely result, perhaps his best ever, for giftedgav.
In 4th was bromley04, who had a very deep run in SPT Online. His beloved Burnley travel to Leicester tonight, so we may not see him Online for the Sunday biggies.

£1,000 Quickdraw (£1,050)
Regular readers will know I'm always pleased to see Doooobs do well, but there's something of an oddity here. The prize pool was £1,050, & he collected £553 of it, which is 53% of the total prize pool. I don't keep records of these things but it must be pretty unusual to win such a high % of the total money on offer. A small field - just 21 entries - and he took 8 heads, which is 40% of the opposition, so those 2 factors contributed. Even so, are there many examples of a player winning over 50% of an MTT Prize Pool here?

£50 Nightly Micro (£52.50)
A bonus report this morning, as I wanted to mention the win by @H3rcul3s. He mentioned in the new defunct MML thread that he had just joined MML before it ended, so missed out on a namecheck, but I'm delighted to oblige. It's not his first mention in Results Threads though as he was 6th in a Hitman Mini last year. Well done bud, keep it up.
