Morning.
Decent numbers, especially the late night trio, with Quickdraw the star turn at over £2,000. Disappointing to see Summit only just creep over the line though.
In sport, well, what can you say about Day 1 of the Ashes Test & series? I've waited all year for this moment & I was as excited as a schoolkid as the clock ticked round to midnight. And then my bubble burst, as we lost Burns first ball, 0-1, closely followed by Malan (6), Root (0) & Stokes (5). From 11-3 we eventually recovered to 147 all out, which, considering the start, was almost a decent score. Luckily, bad weather intervened. We now need 2 or 3 more days of poor weather to even have a hope of salvaging a draw.
All this was after we won the toss & elected to bat. And remember we have no Anderson ("rested"), or Broad (dropped).
Betting? The Aussies are now 1/5, the Draw 11/2 & England 11/1.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£931)
A month after making his thread debut with a 7 @ 7 win, trinderoo repeated the trick, getting home ahead of bigfatfish.
Note destinycod in 6th. One week he's playing £1,000 events "live", next he's playing £1, £2, £5 & £7 affairs. Most unusual.

TONY509 took Gold Rush Main for the 2nd time since August. He's been under the radar recently, but seems to have won all the big stuff here, most of it more than once.Coach Collabo was 2nd. Not sure I've ever seen a Sky Poker player who chats so much, but at least his advice is free.

Pretty sure Divs Dreams treats poker like a little printing press, cranking out pound notes day after day. Plays to fairly modest stakes, but it's hard to argue with an 11% ROI over a 55,000 game sample. And later in the evening - well, early this morning actually - he made it a double by taking down a £300 BH.

£1,000 Mega Stack B/Hunter (£1,200)
A successful session for Claytov, taking the Mega, then running 4th in Reload.
3rd & 4th were Jac35 & tomgoodun. I'm not sure if they have ever met in real life, but I know there's a ton of mutual respect between them. Well done both, they play the game in the right spirit & take their beats like grown-ups. It's amazing how many can't. Beats happen every single night to every single player, so if it still upsets them they need to have a look at themselves.

£5,000 Summit Bounty Hunter (£5,200)
The spectacular run of Jscorgie continues, taking last night's Summit, which he also won in August. Add in a Sunday Major, a BWBH, a Sharpy Main, a UKOPS and a £6,000 BH, all since April of this year, & you have a player on the mother of all heaters. And for good measure, he won a £10,000 Grosvenor event last night for around £2,000. He claims he is just running good, & that's probably partly true, but he must be playing well too.
And look at that Final Table - did you ever see a tougher one?

£1,500 Reload Rebuy B/Hunter (£1,500)
At 9.30pm each evening Reload runs as well as a £500 BH. neenio played both, won Reload & was 2nd in the other. Only played 3 MTT's last night too. Nice. Has a terrific ROI too.
NOSTRI was 3rd, as well as as well as 4th in a £1,000 Rebuy, 5th in a £100 Rebuy, & 7th in Mega. He's becoming very solid at stakes up to £5.

£1,000 Turbo Bounty Hunter (£1,680)
Last night's results were almost predictable, very much a case of the Usual Suspects. TONY509 the Gold Rush, DivsDreams the Mini, Jscorgie the Summit, neenio Reload, humberfish the Quickdraw, cabbaz the MidEx and the Turbo went to seikus. It's quite something how these same guys just keep churning out results.

£1,000 Quickdraw (£2,080)
The name of humberfish came out of the hat in a December Daily Draw a few days ago, & he took Quickdraw last night. Seemingly life is good up there on the North Sea coast.
In 2nd was destinycod, adding to his 7 @ 7 6th. He also won two little MTT's. In all, I believe he made SIX finals last night.

cabbaz took the closer, with Mr Bates, with one eye on the cricket, in 2nd.
bigfatfish was 3rd, so it was quite a night for "fish" aliases - bigfatfish, destinycod, fishhhhh & humberfish.

I have never taken a beat like a grown up yet

An open goal & I never even had a shot.
Shocker.
