Who won what, Saturday 23rd October, busiest night for 6 months, & "the boys" raise £800 for charity

Morning.
Well now, Friday was very busy, but last night was even busier. The Sharpy Main hit it's highest prize pool for 6 months, whilst the Mini was at a 4 month high. Looks like things are warming up nicely for UKOPS, which is less than a week hence now.
In sport, England got off to a winning start in the T20 World cup against what looked an awful performance by the Windies, who could muster only 55 runs & were gone 6 overs before their allotted 20. England somehow lost 4 wickets in chasing that down but they did it in just 8 overs.
The football comedy highlight must surely be Ranieri's Watford being 2-1 down away to Everton, & somehow winning 5-2. There will be no better, or more surprising comeback all season. I wrote that Ranieri would bring fun back to football when he returned 2 weeks ago, & he's delivered already. In his first match in charge, Watford were humiliated 5-0 by Liverpool. Asked about that 5-0 thumping after yesterday's win, Ranieri, with a twinkle in his eye, said "no no, I not remember that". God Bless him. Dilly ding dilly dong. In the toxic world of football, how can anyone not love this man?

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£1,029)
Looks like Bradstent secured his maiden featured MTT win last night. A handful of assorted FT's, but 7 @ 7 was the first trophy.
In 5th was edrich, who largely flies under the radar. Has 94,012 games against his name, of which 98.8% - literally - were DYM's, so MTT's are a rare excursion for him. Pretty sure he joined Sky Poker the very day it started, back in February 2007, & is a wonderfully low-maintenance Client. Sky Poker held some sort of Promo for an "Invite Only" £25,000 Freeroll at DTD some years back, & I had the very great pleasure of sitting next to him for a while, & to this day I recall his warm & friendly demeanour. Not the sort of chap you'll ever find slow-rolling others or gratuitously swearing. Lovely bloke. I've met so many wrong 'uns in my time here, but it's the good ones I remember.

BooBoo is rampant, he won Wednesday's Predator Main, was AWOL on Thursday, bricked Friday, then took both the £1k BH & Turbo last night. That's form.
In 6th was MICKYRIG, who made a rare appearance in these threads 24 hours earlier after winning 7 & 7.

£6,000 Sharpshooter (£8,280)
Quite a victory here for DL1988, only previous mention was when 5th in Sharpy Main 30 months ago. A single tabler, modestly rated by Sharky, playing only his 8th MTT in a month, he had to endure a long HU battle with Palace Bloke before emerging triumphant. Fair to say Palace is as tough & awkward an individual as you could ever wish - or not wish? - to meet, both on & off the table, so this was a terrific win by DL1998.
Palace, of course, you know all about, a huge winner here, & it's not widely known that's he is a dead ringer for MattBates, they are like two peas in a plump pod.

The Mini went to another alias I am not familiar with, Duarte1999. I suppose, to a degree, that's a function of how much busier the site has been this last 48 hours.

£1,000 Mega Stack B/Hunter (£1,250)
SAXONTOM seems to do things in two's - in recent months he's twice won Mega, twice won Quickdraw, & twice been 2nd in Main Events.
Runner-up was KOBAC, a recent Marksman Main champ, with Wednesday's Reload winner taxi1970 in 3rd.
In 6th was Alphabet Bloke, who ran 6th in Tuesday's 7 @ 7.

£1,500 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£2,200)
CutePoison, with just 21 games to their credit in the 2 months with Sky Poker, took Sheriff. An interesting profile here, in their first & 2nd night on Sky Poker in late August they ran 2nd in Sheriff both times, & now wins it. So that's 2nd, 2nd & 1st in Sheriff from just 9 attempts.
In 3rd was UnEuropean, who looks an interesting one to follow, & who already has a BWBH win to his name in his short time on Sky Poker.
It's all a little uphill MAXALLY lately, he finished 7th but got paid nothing for it. On the bright side he won his seat in a £3 All-In Sat so he was almost freerolling.

£1,500 Reload Rebuy B/Hunter (£1,938)
avinit1 turned up after a 10 day absence & took the Reload, while Voltage charged into 4th. Was unfortunate not to finish 3rd actually, which would have made a potential difference. One for the electrical nerds there.

£1,500 Turbo Bounty Hunter (£1,620)
This was Leg 2 of the BooBoo double on the night, & 3rd win since Wednesday.
Runner-up beefmyster only puts in small volume but does very well on it.
3rd in MidEx a few nights earlier, SGK was 3rd here too.

Great news, with madprof, roddy & TommyD all qualifying.
It was a little odd actually, I took a look when there were 4 left, & Rose was Chippie, with madprof clinging on grimly in 4th. Minutes later madprof had finished 1st & Rose had missed out. How that happen?

A double on the night - £1k BH & Turbo - just a few nights after winning Predator Main, plus, if I'm honest, I love the alias, it goes to....
@BooBooTheB
In other news...
Last night @Duesenberg & @The--Don held a joint charity stream, & helped raise over £800 for YouthAbility, a charity for disabled & disadvantaged children in Cumbria.
Huge respect to both of them. I'd like to have the bants & give them both a poke in the eye, but I just can't bring myself so to do on thus occasion. Well done them.
Today's music is dedicated to @The--Don & @Duesenberg for reasons I'd prefer not to explain, but bless them both for their charitable work last night.
Aerosmith, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing".
This track was the theme music for a Movie called Armageddon, in which - quite by chance I believe - Steven Tyler's stunningly beautiful daughter Liv appeared.
If you are not misty-eyed - at the very least - by the end of that, you did not listen to it properly.
I didn’t get to meet edrich there but agree that he’s a lovely chap at the tables and a very good dym player
The mtt was great value as half the people didn’t turn up. I Maxallyed it into the money for £600. Haysie was on my table and didn’t want to do it the same way abs bubbled with a big bluff. He was very quiet and amiable at the table which is a little different to how he is on the forum. Met Jonnyrkd there and he’s a nice bloke too
Carl Froch played and i think it was Begs who got the trophy “I knocked Froch out”
Devilfish was there with a very young blond lady
Free bar and Sky players probably isn’t a great mix
I recall Sikas took advantage of the free booze
@Jac35
Yes, I recall it was some sort of Prio Freeroll. Was a great night, only half the invitees showed up, & there was a free bar & food galore. There was only about 20 of us & the bar bill was a 4 figure number.
I don't recall HAYSIE being there, which is odd.
Carl Froch played it, & we organised a trophy for whoever busted him, engraved with "I KNOCKED OUT CARL FROCH". In fact edrich may have been the one who did the deed.
As you know full well know , clinging on like a dangle Berry is the name of the game when you’re the shortie and not very good at this game like me…..getting AA for the final hand was a help, mind!
Unlucky @irishrose . I know you’ll win at least one more seat, if not the full 4!
Not sure I agree😤😭😠
