Morning.
With just 24 hours to UKOPS, Thursday night's numbers were pleasantly buoyant, headlined by Hitman Main hitting it's best prize pool for 6 months.
Sport. A really messy story is unfolding at the once-great Yorkshire Cricket Club. An independent inquiry found that 7 allegations of racial harassment & bullying by YCC Staff against spinner Azeem Rafiq were found to be true. The Yorkshire Chairman has already apologised personally to Azeem. And yet nobody from YCC has been cautioned or disciplined, let alone sacked.
On the face of it, based on what we know, that's dreadful. This story won't go away until the racists in YCC are identified & sacked.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£1,022)
Despite a somewhat coarse & puerile alias, chitface seems to be able to play a bit, this was their 2nd 7 @ 7 win in recent months, as well as a Reload.

Lordy, this is only a £1,000 BH, but look at that FT line-up. Emerging at the top of that talented & aggro heap was none other than Arrogant, who must be amongst the favourites to do well in the UKOPS & associated Leaderboard.

£5,000 Hitman Bounty Hunter (£6,360)
We have not seen much of Danny, aka ItsOver4u, these last two months, but he's still managed to win a pair of Main Events, Gold Rush in September & now Hitman. Expect a bold UKOPS showing from him if he plays.
Two others to keep an eye on during UKOPS are Palace Bloke (3rd) & scotty77 (5th), both have plenty of winning form & have been round the block & back.

£1,500 Mini Hitman (£1,740)
Mr Bates won the Mini - congrats Matthew - so we can now legit call him Mini MattBates.Runner-up elvisg1972 fell just one spot shy of winning his 4th Mini of 2021, he already has a tick against Mini Avenger, Gold Rush & Sharpshooter.
Bristol's finest Cook Bloke LmfaoAllin was a fine 3rd, and was to do even better later in the evening when he won MidEx.

£1,000 Mega Stack B/Hunter (£1,000)
Worsty does not put in a ton of volume but does OK, and last night he took down a Featured MTT for the first time this year, though has been close a few times.
Mini winner MattBates seems to be in fine form, won the Mini, 2nd here, & also won a £110 UKOPS token in the Elim Fr Promo.

£1,500 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£2,050)
Quite unusual for a player to make their Results Thread debut in Sheriff, but that's the case here for janechrist, unless you count a £4 cash in an Elim Fr 18 months ago. That's quite a step up in class, too.
grinddd was 3rd, scotty77 4th & SwannLol 5th.
MAXALLY collected £140 in 6th, but he got in via a £3 satellite, so that was pretty decent. He was actually battering the Sats last night, won one to Mega, but did no good, won a £3 Sheriff Sat & turned it into £140, and also won a £1.20 sat to the UKOPS02 Semi & turned that into a £110 seat for tonight. Well done Alan.

£1,500 Reload Rebuy B/Hunter (£1,803)
billystar has not featured here before, but does pretty well off an ABI of around £3, & took Reload from a decent FT that included rancid & NOSTRI. In 6th was hazey64, not to be confused with awkward HAYSIE.

A really tough Quickdraw FT (relatively), with ozzie taking the plaudits, and the likes of fishhhhh, grinddd, skyflyer & Arrogant all present & correct.

That's it for today, due to time issues, POTD, In Other News & music will resume tomorrow.
If you plan to play any UKOPS tonight, VBOL, but please remember to be sensible with your bankroll.
Yeah, I'm not buying it either.
Splendid round-up, as usual.
