Morning.
MTT traffic was a little better last night, probably the best night this week.
There was a major, global, internet outage yesterday afternoon which badly affected many sites for an hour or so, but luckily had very little affect on Sky Poker.
Believe it or not, the 2020 Olympics, a year late & much restricted, has started, & the official opening ceremony is today. I'm struggling to get excited about it, not sure why. The whole thing will be held in lovely modern stadia but not a fan in sight - no spectators will be allowed.
And in other COVID related sports news, the Rugby League World Cup is due to be held here in the UK in October, but the world's best two teams - Australia & New Zealand - both withdrew yesterday. Best thing would be to postpone the whole thing, imo.
What a palaver.

Young Craig took this, his best result since he won the Mini Major exactly a month ago.
Tough FT too, with the excellent PBKR 2nd, & heddoh in 4th.
BeachBody (3rd) ran very hot back in May, winning Mega, Turbo & Quickdraw, as well as 3rd in Sunday Major, all in the course of a fortnight, but we've seen much less of them in recent weeks.

I was quite surprised to discover this was BooBoo's best result for some time. Cashes frequently in all sorts of stuff & has plenty of wins, but it's been a while since they secured a 4 figure win.
Runner-up KickaStink has a stellar CV, including an Avenger Main win during boomlet that was worth over £4,000. PRHack93 (3rd) also won an Avenger Main a few weeks ago, but that was only worth £1,700. What a difference a year makes.
In 5th was Monty15, who I'd speculate has cashed in more featured MTT's than almost anyone this month.

The much-respected Climwinner won their third Mini in the last year. Other wins in that period include two Main Events & a UKOPS. Very good player indeed.
Natnug has had plenty of recent victories, but came up a spot shy here.
In 5th was Chalky666 who is on a great run, & currently leads this week's MML.

This fell to MPWebster, who won a Quickdraw earlier this year.
Just 48 hours after taking Tuesday's Summit, StayOrgo had two good scores - 2nd here & the same spot in Quickdraw 30 minutes later. Good to see Graham back here.
PRHack, 3rd in the Main, was 4th here, and there was yet another FT for Monty15, who had already been 5th in the Main & 2nd in Sheriff.

Fancy some Beautiful South? Here you go, Song For Whoever. What an extraordinary talent Paul Heaton is.

I was just thinking yesterday how anybody could think the Radioheads were the worst band ever when The Beautiful South exist...
Other really terrible bands exist. No links provided to prevent earworms.
