Morning.
MTT traffic was a little subdued last night, probably the quietest night of the week.
Did anyone watch Chelsea coast into the CL Final? Hard to say if Chelsea were really good or Real Madrid were really bad. Probably a little of both. Based on what I've seen so far, Man City are worthy favourites at around 4/9, with Chelsea 7/4. I'd not back City at those prices, but I certainly make them more likely to win. I'm not a fan of either club, but I'm pleased to see an all English final, especially as both teams favour attack, & neither go in too much for theatrical simulated injuries & all that dreadful stuff which is killing the game.
Tonight's it's the turn of the Europa League Semi Finals, with Man U effectively home & hosed, & Arsenal needing to overcome a 2-1 deficit. For both CL & Europa League finals to be all English would be wicked, but you never know with the Arsenal. We shall see.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£1,099)
There's nothing I can say about the winner, who is blocked on Sharky, has never appeared in a results thread, & never posted on the Forum.
Monday's 7 @ 7 winner jrdrinkler made a bold bid for a repeat, coming up a few spots shy in 4th.
glassman60 had a paneful exit in 6th.

£1,000 Bounty Hunter (£1,180)
23blackeye specialises in the early evening stuff, and in the last few months has won 7 @ 7, & finished both 1st & 2nd in the £1k BH.
In 3rd was Natnug, two places better than he achieved on Monday.
seikus, who won MidEx earlier in the day - MUCH earlier in the day - was 4th, with Sunday8pm & splashies the bridesmaids in 5th & 6th.

£6,000 Predator Bounty Hunter (£6,150)
This truly was one of the most remarkable Main Event wins I've ever seen. Alerted to it by one of my crustacean foot-soldiers, I started watching this 4 or 5 tables out & it soon became clear andybinks was having one of those sessions we all dream about. He just could not miss, & despite getting it in bad time after time he somehow always found a way of getting there. This was a 160 runner Main Event & he somehow took 30 (THIRTY) head prizes. It was a fabulous watch & I could not have been more delighted for Mr Binky. Not so much fun for the others, mind.
Roopdog looked the winner at one stage but eventually succumbed to the binkster, Sunday8pm was horribly outdrawn, as was Cheezy, God bless him, in 6th.
Note the value of andybinks head prizes - £721.92. That's more than the total prize money & head prizes the runner up got.
Don't you just love tournament poker, when stuff like this happens?

£1,500 Mini Predator (£1,700)
humberfish, who was 2nd in Predator Main last week for £640, went one better in last night's baby bro, the Predator Mini, & took it down for £270.
In 3rd was Rolexdaman - he's one to watch - with MAXALLY in 6th.

£1,500 Mega Stack B/Hunter (£1,500)
Sky Poker veteran & Spurs fan TommyD took this. He's been here so long that most of you know all there is to know about him, but I doubt many know of his greatest achievement. Around 10 or 12 years ago on a Viva Las Vegas trip, he won the Sky Poker Beer-Pong Championships. I'm not completely sure on this, but I seem to recall Matt Bates played in that too. Anyway, Tommy was the most tired & distressed by a very long way indeed but still won the Beer-Pong in grand style.Runner-up Beachbody had a decent session, as he took down the £1,000 Rebuy BH that runs at 19.10.
Uncle Ungo had a good session, 11th in the Main, 5th here, before going on to win a £500 BH later in the evening.

Mock all you like, but Beer-Pong is a big deal in Vegas, and the WSOBP (World Series of Beer Pong ) really is a thing. It is held annually in Las Vegas & it's all taken very seriously. You can even gain entry via WSOBP satellites.

£2,000 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£2,000)
M10Dembele had won Quickdraw on both Monday & Tuesday, but his Quicky hat-trick bid failed last night. Even so, he still made it a hat-trick of wins in 3 nights by taking down last night's Sheriff in facile style.
Really tough FT this, with the Froozster, scotty & Dog Bloke all adjacent.

£1,500 Reload Rebuy B/Hunter (£1,851)
Back in the day when there were Sky Poker "teams", u_owe-me was a proud member of Team Dragon, but he's not featured on the Forum or Results Thread for over 7 years. That changes now as he won Reload last night.
Runner-up PAPABURG had a bad night elsewhere, going by his Forum post last night, but hopefully 2nd here rescued his evening.

£1,500 Quickdraw (£1,960)
I'm not sure anyone played as many MTT's & Satellites yesterday as scotty, & it seems he had a decent session. 2nd in a £500 BH, 3rd in Sheriff, 5th in Turbo, 1st in Quicky & 1st in a late night £300 BH. Ryan's a busy boy.
newdaddy ran 2nd, & it was a 2nd FT of the evening for dog Bloke.

SPT Online Semi (18 entries)
There have now been three SPT Semi Finals, & roddy28 has won a seat in each of them. What price his name comes out of the hat when the Giveaway draw is done on Friday?
destinycod won his first seat, and I very much doubt it will be his last.

POTD
For his spectacular demolition job in the Main Event...
@andybinks
Wonder what happened to Garbage, & this young lady, Shirley Manson? Shirley was an Edinburgh lass, & was quite the rebellious sort. Garbage were a USA based-band, so she flew back & forth to record & work, and I believe she lives in LA these days.
Agreed. He timed his bluffs to perfection all game. He did sometimes run the clock down though but, from what I heard second hand, played well on his other tables.
I was also one of the casualties Tikay, which was what my other post referred too; I cannot believe (or can I suppose) he won!!!
@PAPABURG
Ha, yes, I guessed as much mate.
