Morning.
Well that's it, Easter UKOPS is over for another year. Same time, same place next year, OK?
I was hoping to report a clean sweep of all 44 events beating Guarantee, but last night's UKOPS 42 missed by exactly one £20 Entry/Rebuy. We wuz robbed. Even so, think it fair to say another very successful UKOPS, thanks mainly to so many loyal Sky Poker players, and of course
@Sky__James who designed the schedule & set the guarantees. Good work all round.
Tonight we revert to the regular schedule, & have to compete with Real Madrid v Liverpool live on TV. I'll be amazed if tonight's Guarantees are met so there will be a bit of bunce for the Sky Poker faithful.
OK, let's have a look at who got what.
£1,500 UKOPS 39 £2,120

UKOPS 39 £1,500 PLO (£2,120)
Thoroughly enjoyed railing this final. It's a complete mystery to me why more people don't play PLO, but it's all about opinions I suppose. Best game ever if you ask me.
The honours went to Super_Oli, who also ran 2nd in the regular Mega & 5th in MidEx. Standard night for Oli.
2nd was @shrimpy28 who cheerfully admitted he has no idea of the rules of PLO, though I do seem to recall he was 2nd in a PLO Freeroll a way back. In some ways, he's been in contention for Player of the Series, he plays with such a lovely attitude, mainly because his head is not cluttered with GTO & all the associated theoretical stuff. He just does the basics well & is not afraid to gamble. Oli ran slightly better Heads Up, and fair to say is probably the better player, but not by as much as many might think.
In 5th was avix, another who almost never plays the four card game to the best of my knowledge.

UKOPS 40 £10,000 Bounty Hunter (£13,380)
Cameronpa won this in a photo-finish with Sunday8pm. He won his seat from a £1.60 Satellite & ended up collecting over £2,100. In fairness, he played several £1.60 Satellites, but even so that's some spectacular ROI. I'm not sure he's ever cashed in a Featured MTT before this either.
Runner-up Sunday8pm has some solid form in the book, including no less than 4 Main Event wins, three in 2020 & one this year. He has a decent "Live" record too, with a best cash of £72,000. A very long time ago he actually worked for me. For a whole day. In fact, though he does not know this, that day cost me over £3,000. Long story there for another day.
3rd was podraic, who collected £1,800 when winning the UKOPS Day 2 Mini last week.

UKOPS 41 £4,000 Mini Bounty Hunter (£6,030)
Goodness me, in many ways this is THE most extraordinary win of the night, if not series. Worth noting that this was the THIRD Bounty Hunter Mini that coolhanal has won in the last 2 months. That might just be a record. Congrats Mr Hanal. Even more extraordinary, he was the Gentleman who started these two threads recently;
site unreal for seeing big hands all the time
who thinks the whole site need a change

Another extraordinary result. Laguna has been with Sky Poker since 2009 & has been break even for 12 years until 2 weeks ago. Since then he has been 1st & 2nd in the Mini, & now taken down a UKOPS, easily his three best results in 12 years. Truly amazing but great to see.UKOPS 42 £3,000 Bounty Hunter (£3,000)

It's quite fitting that Froozle won the final event, as he was announced as the Leaderboard Winner this morning. He was 2nd in the UKOPS Main 24 hours earlier, for which he got Double Points, & also won UKOPS 17 last week. I think he's a worthy winner.

That's it. See you all next UKOPS. Thank you to everyone who took the time to read.
When you get a spare (?) 15 mins, please elaborate on the story of @Sunday8pm working for you for a day. That must have been a long 36 hours
@Froozle
Thank you Mr Leaderboard winner.
Mini-UKOPS? Not on this occasion, no,
A summer UKOPS? Doubt it, if history is anything to go by, the next will be late October/early November. One never knows though, worms can turn.
