Morning.
Traffic was at the lower end of recent run-rates, with Summit in particular performing poorly, returning it's lowest prize pool in 8 weeks, perhaps because some of Team Serious were playing WCOOP.
In sport, a quiet day, but today sees the start of the third Test between India & England. Remarkably, India can be backed at odds against. It's rare we get to see such a great cricketer as Kohli strutting his stuff in England. Watch him if you can, he's a legit beast, a born winner. PS - I wrote that early this morning, & now I look a right plum. Not going to backtrack though, bring on the opprobrium.

kikikolt2 made the final of this two weeks ago, running 5th, then disappeared, only to pop up last night & book the win.
Runner-up tonyp142 was third in Summit two weeks back.
Arrogant was making the first of three FT's last night - 4th here, 4th in Turbo & 6th in Quickdraw.

£5,000 Gold Rush (£5,670)
bluecall07 operates under the radar but has a very impressive CV, & has won most of the featured MTT's at least a few times. Last September he won a slice of FTJ when finishing 3rd in both Gold Rush Main & Mini.
Hoff92, who won Summit last month, was 3rd. And talking of the FTJ, he won it outright in September 2019, a £5,000 bonus for winning Main & Mini same night.
TEXANT, 2nd in Hitman Main last Thursday was 5th. Three times last week he was a runner-up - Main, Turbo & Midex.

ROBINAYR plated three freerolls yesterday & never won a dime, then proceeded to take down the Mini for some £335. There's a moral there somewhere but I don't know what it is.
In 3rd was Donald, aka thisltedu, one of the nicest poker players you could ever wish to meet.

£5,000 Summit Bounty Hunter (£5,800)
A sensational win for Mvh219, who has been here 4 years & 1,411 games without troubling the judges & in one foul swoop pretty much wiped out his lifetime Sky Poker deficit last night. Quite surprised to even see them play a £110 Summit but the clue was in the satellites - started off by winning the £5.20 Quarter Final, then the £24 Semi Final, & ended up turning the £5.20 investment into £1,575. Awesome result.
Not as if it was a soft FT either, MikeyW94, lolufold, pacman, NIHIGHGUN & Mr Channing all featured. What a win that was for Mvh.

This went to cheekydeke, a recent Gold Rush Mini winner & unless I'm mistaken a keen PLO8 player.
hhammerhea, a recent MML winner, played a full schedule last night & was not having much luck until 2nd in Reload turned his night round completely. No MML points for Reload though.

In other news
Not a great deal to report today.
@waller02 played day 2 of that WCOOP thing, and once again fell early, though did last 20 minutes this time. He ended up on the wrong side of two completely standard spots which played themselves.
Meanwhile, Patrick Leonard continues to astound. Won another WCOOP last night, was 6th in another, is 3rd of 6 going into Day 2 of another and just for bants sits 5th of 163 in Mini Super Tuesday. And they were all in different disciplines - a High Roller NLH PKO, a HORSE, The regular Super Tuesday & a 2-7 Draw.
How on earth did he become competent at stuff like 2-7 Single Draw? The bloke's a freak.
Has to be the Summit winner, this was nothing short of sensational.
@Mvh219
For obvious reasons, has to be some Stones stuff today. Just listen to Charlie, he was different gravy.
