Morning.
Spiffing numbers last night, in particular the £5,000 Main (£7,710) & £1,000 MidEx (£1,980). It's been an excellent week all-round actually. Christmas should happen more often imo.
No sporting news of much note yesterday, so chance for another great sporting photograph. Here's the one & only Mr Bolt doing what he did best, with style & grace. Just look at that photo, the also-rans - who were amongst the world's best - flat to the boards & making no impression, & Usain just gliding along in second gear. Never used drugs either.
When you have a sporting hero, admire them whilst you can, as they are soon gone. I've had many sporting heroes in my life time - Jimmy Greaves, Alex Higgins, Lester Piggott, Stirling Moss - & even though I watched them whenever I could, I still feel I should have made more effort to watch them more often.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£966)
I could almost hear the roar from his army of fans as steveysee took the 7 @ 7. I don't have a wealth of data on him, but I believe it's the first time he's won this one.

£5,000 Hitman Bounty Hunter (£7,710)
For reasons I won't trouble you with, I've watched the Hitman winner janechrist a few times recently. If I had to sum them up in one word, I'd struggle, but for now, I'll settle for acerbic.
fishhhh was 4th.
Having started the day by running 6th in MidEx, pistke was 6th here too. I can't read that alias out without seeing it an an abbreviation, which is probably unfair. Maybe his real name is **** Tke.
In 7th was Swog. It's a shame he so rarely uses the Forum, his debating of hand histories in that one Tourney alone would probably double the daily Post Count of the Forum, as brevity is certainly not his strong point. He'd be like a less cerebral version of HAYSIE.

crc0909 decided to play a Sky Poker MTT last night for the first time in 27 days, & it seems the break was just what they needed as he went on to take the win, his first ever in a Featured MTT as far as I can see.
In 4th was TONY509, who has a stellar CV, including numerous Majors, Mains & Minis.

£1,500 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£1,500)
clov4r seems to be a NKOTB, only here since October, but has already taken down a Main, a Mini, & now a Sheriff, as well as a 5th place in the Major. Might be a name to keep an eye on in 2022.
loosecamel, flush from the success of winning £100 an an iPad in the Daily Draws, as well as 3rd in Wednesday's Main, was runner-up, with tonyp142 in 3rd.
In 5th, but headless, was Mr Channing, who played with one eye on the sad departure of Jon Snow, who retired from Channel 4 News last night after presenting it for 93 years. Mr Channing is a huge news freak.

As with Sheriff, this went to another NKOTB in Kvn67.
After her 4th in Wednesday's 7 @ 7, aynaricol had another good day, being 2nd twice in £150 & £300 BH's, both for around £50, then 4th here for another £130. At the stakes she plays that's a lovely return. That Sharky graph is looking incred.

£1,000 Turbo Bounty Hunter (£1,890)
greg1974 won MidEx recently, & usually plays just 1 MTT per session. He doubled it to 2 last night, & did no good in MidEx, but took Turbo instead, which seems a reasonable swap.
fishhhhh, 4th in the Main & 6th in Sheriff, was runner-up this time. Not a bad night by any means.
