A very good Saturday morning to you.
MTT traffic last night was OK. The Big Three - BWBH, Avenger Main & Avenger Mini totalled £21,165 against £20,730 last Friday, though by & large the other stuff was slightly lower. Pretty good really, considering we are in the worst week of monthly payday cycle.
In the Women's Open Golf, after Round 2 Georgia Hall retains a share of the lead. She's bidding for her second Open & loves links golf, so she has every chance. In what is an unusual situation, her caddie, Harry Tyrrell, is also her boyfriend, & as far as we can see from behind the ropes they make a smashing couple. Rain is forecast today, a shame really as Georgia excels in windy conditions, but she's a fighter. I genuinely hope she wins. First prize? £638,000. Now that's proper money.
Charley Hull, arguably the most naturally talented female English golfer, missed the cut as expected - she just does not seem to like links courses.
Perhaps the most remarkable performance was for Laura Davies to make the cut. Laura is 57 & has won some 85 golf tournaments. She's a right character, & a big gambler - in the betting sense of the word, & even owns a racehorse or two.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£924)
neenio took 7 @ 7, his first win of the month, but he's had a decent year, winning the £1k BH @ 7.30pm four times as well as a Main & a Reload.
Runner-up h26h26 was fresh off a deep run in the Rewards Freeroll worth £20. Not a lot, but still handy enough, especially when added to £110 from 7 @ 7.

£6,000 Big Weekend Bounty Hunter (£7,100)
Just 255 games into their Sky Poker MTT journey, UnEuropean had their biggest result yet. Remarkably, has now made four £100 Finals, finishing 1st, 3rd, 3rd & 6th. Given the overall sample size that's some going & we may well be looking at a very decent player indeed.
Tinderella (2nd) is in a similar vein, just 100 MTT's here, best result of which was a Sunday Major win February for a whopping £6,000.
Crushy was 5th, & later went on to FT both Turbo & Quickdraw.
Fresh from his back to back Sheriff wins, Palace was 6th.

£8,000 Avenger Rebuy B/Hunter (£9,560)
We don't see much of last night's Avenger winner acky1985, & they usually one-table as they did last night. Decent CV though, has twice won a share of the Final Table Jackpot (2014 & 2016), & more latterly has won a Sharpshooter Main.
Runner-up KIMMEY14 was 7th in last Sunday's Major.
MRBLEWPIE (3rd) you know all about.
MAGPIETYKE, 2nd in Sharpshooter Main a fortnight ago, was a fine 4th.

£4,000 Mini Avenger Rebuy B/Hunter (£4,505)
It's tough to win Avenger Mini but Gutshotter was doing it for the second time in 9 months. Won Sheriff several times last year too.
Sam, aka IVIystical has been a bit light on volume recently, but does seem to play the Main quite frequently. He had no luck in it last night, but 3rd in the Mini paid for his session, with enough left over for a decent takeaway & a week's supply of beer.

£1,000 Mega Stack B/Hunter (£1,040)
The Bates, who I recently saw described as "Sky Employee of the Month" took Mega.
tomgoodun made a bunch of attempts to get in via £1.20 All-In Satellites without success, so paid in direct & it worked out well, as he collected almost £180 for his troubles.
In third was cymru35, who might be the most chatty player on the site. I imagine he's a big fan of Sky Poker, as he's played some 2,000 games here.

£1,500 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£1,850)
camy72 took Sheriff for the second time in two months.
Very interested to see CutePoison in 2nd. Played just 4 MTT's here, 2 on Thursday & two last night, & from those 4 games has TWICE finished 2nd in Sheriff. Is likely vey lucky or very good.
Bidding for a Sheriff hat-trick Palace could only manage 6th, though let's not forget he was 6th in last night's BWBH too.

A third win of the month - two Turbos & a Quickdraw - for StayOrGo.
Wednesday's Predator Main Winner Monty15 was 2nd.
Bidding for a Sheriff three-timer in three nights Palace could only manage 6th. Flash in the pan, clearly.

MUCKIE0303 is a NKOTB & has just 15 games on their CV, but after 4th in Monday's Mega, booked their maiden win last night.
Crushy was 2nd for his third FT of the session, with heddoh 4th.
In 6th was JonTSnow who has twice been POTD recently, for winning the Major in late June, & this week's Summit.

goldnballz completed a hat trick of decent wins since June - Hitman Main & Avenger Mini (on consecutive nights) & now MidEx. Probably one of the most popular players on the site.

@UnEuropean
We have a request to complete the Gary Moore trilogy but it'll have to wait as we feature something very topical today.
Here's Right Said Fred, currently very much in the news.

“Sky employee of the month” for Matt made me chuckle 😊.
He’s a great player and fully deserved the win.
Well yes, I saw he was getting some grief last night, suitably encouraged by Team Mischief, but I'm pretty sure it does not bother him, nor should it.
