Morning.
The usual Sunday excuse for a briefer than usual write-up today - it's Sunday.
Broadly speaking, Saturday night traffic was fine.
In sport, the first T20 International between West Indies & England took place last night, with England the 2/5 favourites to win the first of 5 games. England batted first, & were fortunate to get a paltry 103, with the Windies rattling off the runs comfortably for an emphatic 9 wicket victory. How embarrassing. The second game is 8pm this evening, & will be shown live on BT Sport.
Meanwhile, in football, the Everton fans were demanding SACK THE BOARD yet again. Quite how the fans are ever going to do that always fascinates & amuses. If I were to invest a fortune into football club, GL getting me to do what the supporters demand - it's my money & I'll do what I want, basically. They do have a history at Everton of being "discontent" & wanting Managers/The Board removed, maybe not as bad as Newcastle fans but not far behind.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£1,085)
A very solid night for Natnug, winning 7 @ 7 & 3rd in Quickdraw. Been a good week actually, in addition to last night's 1st & 3rd, in the previous 4 or 5 days has been 1st & 3nd in Sheriff & 2nd in Quickdraw, so that's 5 FT's in as many nights.

What a night for Jamieb23. Was steadily profitable for 6 whole years from 2014 until a horrible downswing commenced 15 months ago in November 2020. Last night not only reversed almost that entire downswing in a stroke, it was his best ever win.
Congrats to @Shrimpy28 on his impressive run of runner-up finishes in the last 5 weeks - 2nd in Avenger Main, 2nd in Sharpshooter Main, 2nd in Mini, plus 4th in Marksman Main & 4th in the Sunday night £6k BH. He was also 3rd in last night's Mega. There are cruel folks around who may suggest he is a bit of a bottler, but that's just out of order.
The increasingly impressive Jscorgie was 4th.

babyluke has played over 5,000 MTT's here & sometimes the game gets a little frustrating for him, but a Mini win - his best ever result if I'm not mistaken - should restore his confidence.

£1,000 Mega Stack B/Hunter (£1,160)
Less than 24 hours after taking MidEx, Jaystac followed up with Mega, the 2nd time he has won it. Won a £500 BH on Wednesday too. Flies under the radar but has quite a decent CV, with two Avenger Main wins - quite a feat in itself - as well as a selection of victories in UKOPS, Mega, MidEx & 7 @ 7.
Bertie Bottler was 3rd.
Friday's Avenger Main winner Hod4k997 was 4th.

Jscorgie had the mother of all heaters at the back end of 2021, & after a pause for breath he seems to resuming his winning ways now. Now has 2022 winning form in Mini, Turbo, Sheriff as well as 2 Megas. Currently sits 6th in the 2022 Sharky MTT Profit Leadeboard for Sky Poker.
PowerPok3r seems to be farming the Sheriff, having finished 2nd, 4th, 5th & 7th in the last week.

£1,000 Turbo Bounty Hunter (£1,230)
Well the Turbo winner has an odd alias - SafeHandRM. Anyone got any clues as to what that might mean? Anyway, not played much volume, just ~200 games, only 8 of which were in the last 9 months.
Good final too, with tonyp, POKEOFFU. Sharkio, Mr Arrogant & ozzie all involved.

This day last year...
Includes @destinycod winning the Main, &, arguably, 2021's worst ever pun, in what was a very competitive field.
"I assume "lions86" is a Rugby Union reference, so maybe he played this for a prop bet."
