Morning.
Yet another brief report today, following on the heels of "Lite" Reports during SPT. What's going off? Well today & tomorrow I'm moving house, so I'm all a bit pulled out & stressed. Should be back to normal in a day or two.
MTT traffic last night was oddly mixed, with the Main doing nicely, but Reload, of all things, missing. Its usually Reliable Reload, so I don't know what happened there.
In Sport, a very odd & unusual twist on the story of Manchester City's Benjamin Mendy, currently in prison awaiting trial on multiple rape charges. Sadly, media outlets have confused him with Chelsea 'keeper Edouard Mendy. That is bad on SO many levels.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59329882A great story, but a terrible one. If I were Eduoard, I'd sue them big time.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£973)
5haun1968 - not to be confused with Shaun1968 - pops on the site about once a fortnight, plays the 7 & 7 then disappears again. Seems to work out well as he got the lot last night.
In 3rd was bakersdoze who is in fine form right now. On Monday he had a lovely double - Marksman Main as well as a £1,000 Rebuy BH, worth a combined £1,400+, so loads of dough.
DoyleBrun is going along very nicely too, 4th here for a few quid, 6th in the Rewards Freeroll for £30 & 2nd in the Mini for £130. Doubt he's had many better nights than that. Was 4trh in a Mini last week two.

Sky Poker won't get rich any time soon from ROLAND, he's only played 8 MTT's since Easter, but he's not complaining as he took down the Main for almost £1,200. Pretty sure that's a PB too. Play more please ROLAND, right?
Neilio, BigDane, Natnug & The Hedster all featured too.

BOOM, Irish Rose took the Mini, God bless her, & I doubt there's many players on the site who is more loved. She had no luck in the SPT, though she won a few bob at the cash tables on both Friday & Saturday. Sadly, last night in the Mini she suffered some horrible chat abuse on the way, but that's being taken care of. I'm not sure why there seems to be a sudden increase in profanities on the tables. When every written utterance includes swearing & abuse, there's something wrong with them & it's often due to being henpecked at home. Well that's my left-field theory anyway. Luckily it did not bother Rose, she's made of sterner stuff & is a grown-up.
As mentioned earlier, DoyleBrun is on a roll & was 2nd.
ronny707 made the Mini Final for the 2nd time in three nights, 5th on Monday, 3rd last night.

Sadly I never saw much of StayOrGo at the SPT, perhaps my eyes are going, but he took Mega last night for a decent recovery mission.
In 3rd, & seemingly running back into form was Mr Bates.

Tough old final this, with the increasingly impressive Jscorgie emerging top of the pile from Crushy in 2nd, who won this the night before, as well as finishing 3rd in Summit, and won Friday's Avenger Mini too. WAL.
And look who was 6th - Rose.

Teal took Turbo. I'd like to think this player is named after arguably one of the prettiest ducks that inhabit our shores, & with the collective name of "spring", as they rise so steeply from land or water. Fascinating, eh?@Teal1 210000 1 £252 + £145.68 Head Prizes 5

£1,000 Quickdraw (£1,260)
Sharky give Vaskan a very modest rating, but he was winning Quickdraw for the 2nd time in 8 nights, so he's maybe better than they infer.
Natnug, Hedster, Crushy & KLL-y were all making at least their 2nd FT of the session.

elvisg1972 is quietly getting the lot, has now won this year alone three Minis, 4 Reloads & two MidEx's.
In 3rd was wynne1938, who was up way too late for a man of his considerable years.
skyflyer was 5th & there as a 2nd FT of the evening for StayOrGo.

Very sad that someone should choose to abuse @IrishRose in the chat, totally uncalled for and I say that as someone who's quite prone to a good old moan in chat, but it's always about my lack of luck/bad play rather aimed at others. I hope the victory and £300 helped Rose get over it though.
Not so pretty
Absolutely NOT. It was far, far worse than that, not to mention (arguably) racist. And the abusive player has been identified, as Sky Poker have a "chat log" which records all table chat by players.
Your comment was clearly in jest, & Rose knew it.
Good luck with the house move. In late September I went from not moving at all at 10:30 and sending removal men away, to Exchanging Contracts at 12:00, Completing at 14:00, and physically moving at 15:30. Exhausting.
PS-quick brag. Ran deep in a few last night, and got a bit unlucky. Saved that luck for the UK 6-Max Championship on Grosvenor. Final table will be at the Vic on 1st Dec. Will be 3/6, but are 2 huge stacks...
@Essexphil
Blimey, it's taken me three months & over 30 trips up & down the M1 to sort my move. But it's just about sorted now.
Great news on that Grosvenor Poker 6-Max Phil - keep us informed please.
Re the Mendy "mix up".
The same thing happened a few years ago when The Lostprophets singer was jailed for some very unsavoury crimes.
There were a few photos of H from Steps circulated by the media.
They are both Welsh and share the name Ian Watkins.
They really should check their facts, especially with such serious crimes.Please
Lazy journalism.
And there are always a few who will believe it, even though it's clearly untrue. (See the Conspiracy Threads & the daily pummelling Bill Gates receives).
