Afternoon.
Traffic was, well, "reasonable" last night, not as high as Friday & Saturday, but certainly north of the recent run-rate. No football on TV helped of course. The clocks go back on Sunday = gets dark earlier, so that will help too.
In cricket, South African Quinton de **** refused to take the knee, & that was after the Cricket South Africa said all players must do so. I don't really think the Authorities should demand it, but either way, if he, a South African - a nation which has much ground to make up in the racism arena - does not take the knee, then I'm glad he is not going to play. It's a dilemma when a sportsperson you admire shows such traits, & we are forced to choose between our sporting preference & our wish that racism be driven out of sport. Rather like, in music, Eric Clapton deciding to take an anti-vaccine stance, it becomes awkward for us.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£1,092)
phillips58, who most of us are unfamiliar with, took 7 @ 7. Is a 73,000 game Sky Poker veteran, but 70% were DYM's, which may explain the low profile. Won a 471 runner Hitman Mini last year though, so clearly has MTT ability.

RUTSTER19 has been here since 2008 & been profitable every year - until this year, when things have been a bit rough. A win in last night's £1k BH - his 2nd since August - may just signal the tide is turning.
Monty15 & Arrogant were 2nd & 6th, & there's not much I can tell you about those two lovable monsters of the virtual felt that you don't already know.

The Main went to the highly-rated devil_tear, & if I'm not mistaken, he's been largely absent this year. He won a package to Punta Cana with us a few years back - 2016 maybe? - & he & his partner were tremendous company. Anyway, good to se him back in the Sky Poker winner's enclosure.For the picture quiz - or caption comp if you prefer - see if you can spot devil_tear in the 'photo below which was taken in Punta Cana. I can see CXe1, glencoelad & dameflop, but I'm struggling to put names to the rest of them if I'm honest.

Good to see a prominent display by RogueCell in 3rd, perhaps less of a joy to spot Grumpy Jac in 6th.

£1,000 Mega Stack B/Hunter (£1,140)
snoxx11 took Mega, adding it to recent wins in Sheriff & Turbo, as well as a runner-up berth in avenger Main. He makes a lot of featured FT's but I rarely comment, as I know so little about him (or her...). If you are reading this snoxx, introduce yourself please.
Another FT for Arrogant (2nd), with GREGSTER, who won this a few nights earlier, 5th this time.

£1,500 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£1,700)
ozzy1994 is an infrequent visitor to the MTT streets, just 250 games in 5 years, but maybe that will change after winning last night's Sheriff.
Mega winner snoxx followed up with 4th here, a spot behind Sky Poker veteran scotty77.

A decent night for Gambelo, 2nd in Sheriff & 1st in Turbo, so very close to as decent double on the night.
lolufold & scotty77, who must know each others games inside out, were 2nd & 3rd, with Sheriff winner ozzy1994 in 6th.

£1,000 Quickdraw (£1,460)
alfarch30 has barely played any MTT's in the last two weeks but returned in style with a Quickdraw win.
In 3rd was gaming123, who has plenty of form in the book, but is another who has only played sporadically this year. Perhaps they are all warming up for UKOPS, which starts on Friday.

£1,000 UKOPS Eliminator Freeroll (305 runners)
Doubleme took the Elim Fr, hopefully he reads this & posts on the Forum telling us how he did it.
Quite a shock to see Grumpy Jac in 3rd, but if we can't get doubleme to post maybe we can persuade Jac to re-start his Diary of Misery. Riveting reads, both of them.

SPT Manchester Semi (18 runners)
Fun and games here when KOBAC came in the chat box to say he had entered this by mistake, he intended to play the UKOPS Semi & can't make Manchester. Worked out perfectly though, as he scooped up the loose change. Nice when a plan comes together. Not so much TommyD, who is coming to Manchester but who just missed out. The game does not seem fair sometimes.
HANSON joined the short list of double seat winners, with HAYSIE & HoldhamAth getting the other seats. All the H's last night it seems.

Goes to the Elim Fr winner in the hope that we can get him to post on the Forum.

In other news...
Here's a random hand from the WSOP Double Stack.
I have just finished re-reading Steven Tyler's biography. He's some weird dude, but he can rock with the best of them. Here he is strutting his Train Keeps A Rollin stuff with Joe Perry (who he later fell out with) & Aerosmith. Proper music, this.

@lucy4
Yikes. That was not in the bio I just finished.
I'll add him to that list that includes Eric Clapton, Quinton de **** etc, where it all becomes a little awkward to admire any more.
I just ran very well and went for it. That been said I have done work on my short stack heads up game and this I believe gives me the edge against the vast majority of the field once it gets to short stack heads up. with possible exceptions of Mattbates and Heddoh who I have faced heads up short stack before and their game pretty solid which I am very impressed by since they mtt regs not heads up hyper guys. Oh and Granite89 would likely beat me heads up short stack.
