Morning.
Marksman Main came in at it's best number for 4 weeks, & everything covered, so the little uptick seen on Sunday continued to a degree. Double Points ended on Sunday, with Poker Premiership starting yesterday, so it will be interesting to see how that affects MTT traffic. (Said nobody, ever).
In sport, there was drama in the Olympic velodrome as Team GB accused the Danes of cheating by using illegal tape on their legs, & clothes that were not approved, & we saw a ridiculous crash on the track. Good to see the spirit of the Olympics is alive & well.
In Premier League football the silly season has started. Harry Kane appears to be on strike, & failed to turn up for training yesterday. Allegedly he wants a transfer, & feels "his hands are tied" by the 6 year deal he signed three years ago. Maybe he should have thought of that before he signed his contract, under which he earns about £10 milly per year. Imagine being so gifted as a footballer that you earn £10 milly per year - & wanting more.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£1,015)
Last Tuesday rundagame returned to Sky Poker after a three week hiatus & snap won the Mini, & was back in the winner's enclosure last night, taking down 7 @ 7. Also played the £300 BH's at 16.30 & 17.30, finishing 5th & 2nd respectively.
GunRood1 was very busy yesterday, playing scores of games so maybe we'll see them in the opening Poker Premiership Leaderboard today.
Uncle Ungo, 2nd in the Mega 24 hours earlier, followed up with a third-place finish here.

£1,000 Bounty Hunter (£1,040)
Yet another win for grinddd. This player just keeps getting results & has always been a winning player. Joined in 2012 but only started doing decent MTT volume in 2017, since when they've made serious money considering their volume. A Sharky graph to die for too. A shame we never see them on the Forum.
PRHack93, who collected over £2,000 when winning BWBH a couple of weeks ago, was runner-up, with Sir Splashies in 4th.

£5,000 Marksman Bounty Hunter (£5,850)
Nero543 is not an alias we see much much regularity in these threads, even so this was the second time they have won Marksman Main in the last 18 months. Had an odd day yesterday too, winning a £300 BH that kicked off at 12.30, collecting about £85, then followed up by winning the Main & £1,075 in the evening. WAL.
Runner-up was PBKR. In the space of less than a week back in March he won both Sunday Major (£4,425) & BWBH (£2,400). Never ever seen this guy moan or whine. Some players never stop, night after night, & continually refer to opponents disparagingly but when things go wrong Phil just shrugs his shoulders & gets on with it. If only there were more like him. Love him to bits. Well, don't exactly love him, but you get my drift.
In third was lolufold.
On Friday, dameflop was third in Avenger Main, & last night she followed up with 4th in the Main. She's in the form of her life.
In 7th was 235467, which was to prove expensive, as we shall later see.

£1,500 Mini Marksman (£1,695)
Tournament poker is weird. For the last week Lambsfire (who we must assume is a cash game player) has only played Freerolls, always the Rewards Freeroll & nothing else. Not a single cash either. Then last night, BOOMIO, enters the Mini & wins it. One for the conspiracy theory idiots.
bigfatfish ran 2nd & took a very pleasing 15 head prizes.
And now we realise that PBKR so nearly got a slice of the Sky Poker FTJ - 2nd in the Main & 8th in the Mini. In fact, & very unusually, there were TWO players who hit the FTJ crossbar. PKBR was 2nd in the Main & 8th in the Mini, while 235467 was 7th in the Main & 3rd in the Mini. Have we ever had two near-misses in the same night before?

£1,000 Mega Stack B/Hunter (£1,380)
Arrogant was back on his winning bike & took Mega. What a winner this guy is, must be amongst the biggest MTT winners on the site. We have to guess, as he's blocked on Sharky, but it surely must be Top Ten. Very much the Millwall FC of Sky Poker.

£1,500 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£1,850)
Having earlier won the £1k BH, grinddd made it a double by taking down Sheriff.
Alvez, 6th in the Sunday Major 24 hours earlier, was 5th here.
235467 only played 4 MTT's but certainly had some deep runs - 7th in the Main, 3rd in the Mini & 6th here.

£1,500 Reload Rebuy B/Hunter (£1,500)
maccol won Reload for the second time in four months. Decent day for him, he also won the £100 Lunch Timed, grabbing £55.
Rat lover NOSTRI had a session-saver, not only running second but taking 8 head Prizes, which is about a month's worth for him. That drops him to 3rd in the Nit stakes, only behind @Duesenberg & @The--Don. For avoidance of doubt, I'm in the "nitty is good" camp so I'm not digging out that trio of fine chaps.

Yay, about time Dog Bloke was back amongst the winners, well done Chris.
The Shrimpster was fourth. He started a diet last week & lost a whopping 5lbs in Week One. What a boss, proud of him.

£1,000 Quickdraw (£1,400)
tonyp has been running bad for a month or two but bounced back with a decent win here, hopefully that will signal an upturn in his fortunes.
scotty77 has been MIA for about a week, but returned last night & grabbed 5th here.
