Afternoon.
MTT traffic was mixed last night, with the Major covering, the Mini missing (but only by £30), and Sheriff coming in at £2,600, it's highest prize pool for some 6 weeks.
Yesterday's spotting highlight was surely 22 year old Nelly Korda winning the Women's PGA. She was 3 shots clear of the runner up & nine shots clear of 3rd. Fair to say she blew the field away. Her elder sister, Jessica, was joint 15th. Nelly comes from a remarkable sporting family, her Dad won a tennis Grand Slam, her brother won the Australian Open tennis, her sister has 6 wins on the LPGA golf tour and her Mum represented Czechoslovakia at tennis in the Olympics. Is there a more successful sporting family across more than one sport?
Meanwhile, today sees the start of Wimbledon.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£980)
tygriff, with just 52 MTT's to their credit (mostly the 7 @ 7) took this down. Their only previous mention was 3rd in 7 @ 7 last month. Well done tig.
3265, 3rd in 7 @ 7 a few days earlier, was 5th.
bigfatfish continued his excellent run with a 6th place finish.

£6,000 Bounty Hunter (£6,000)
This went to spearsy136, who won his seat at the very last gasp in the Micro Masters League last week, & turned his free entry into £1,125. This must be one of the biggest prizes ever won from a free to enter Community Comp on the forum.Decent field, as you'd expect, with Uncle Ungo a fine third, one spot ahead of Mr Channing, with Crushy in 5th & THETANK 6th.
Here's an unlikely piece of trivia for you - @NChanning is a huge fan of Stormzy, or "stormz" as he calls him to his face. True story.

£12,000 Sunday Major (£12,900)
Earlier this month - June 2nd to be precise - I wrote;"JonTSnow returned after a 10 day absence last & ran 2nd in Summit then won Quicky. Welcome back".
Well lightning seems to have struck twice, as he once again returned last night from a 10 day sabbatical, and this time he won the Sunday Major & the £3,612 first prize. Chuffed to bits for him, he seems a good guy from my limited interaction with him.
2nd was ufud, who won over £10,000 in the Xmas UKOPS Main.
Most impressive performance was by nirvana29, who usually sticks to smallball stuff & who I'm told by a trusted source won the seat in a freeroll. nirvana's prize was £812.70, which I very much hope Sky Poker delivered in a heart shaped box.

£1,500 Mini Major (£1,500)
A very big well done to craigcu12 who won the Mini Major. First he transitioned from cash to MTT's, where he initially did well in High Rollers, now he's moved to the Mini where he seems to be super comfortable. Probably the second most fickle player on Sky Poker with the very obvious exception of @The--Don . Fair play to Craig, who had a torrid time early doors last night but held himself together. How we play when things go against us is a great litmus test of character.
@green_beer playing their first MTT session for 10 days was an admirable 4th. I'm told they are a Hibernian fan.
Just missing the Final was MML supremo & spreadsheet wizard @NOSTRI
Uncle Ungo was 10th, & flopwit whack job oynutter was 14th.

£1,500 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£2,600)
The biggest Sheriff prize pool for ~6 weeks was fiercely contested, with peiratis & skyflyer - neither of them shrinking violets at the poker table - slugging it out for the top spot.
The Bates was 4th, and there was a superb effort by NOSTRI in 6th, sadly the only FT he made last night from 15 attempts.

£1,500 Turbo Bounty Hunter (£1,710)
Dooobs has now won MidEx three times, Quicky & Turbo in the last three months. He has a young family so maybe it's easier to concentrate when they've gone to bed, though he did take down the 8pm Avenger Main 10 days ago.
Hedders was runner-up, with SwannLol 4th & Szary 6th.

The ever-amiable seikus took this, with Hedders suffering the misfortune of being runner-up again, just as he was in the Turbo.
After his heroics on Saturday, PKRPar was 3rd despite the after effects from that infamous Stream. To be fair, @Duesenberg was to blame, he's a full-on degen, worse even than @waller02
4th, 5th & 6th were PRhack93, scotty & TIMBER, all of whom have been making finals for fun this month.

@JonTSnow
As he got a mention today, & maybe only @NChanning will appreciate this, but here's Stormzy - "stormz" to his close friends - at Glasto.
