Morning.
Rather oddly, since they have been doing really well lately, both Sheriff & MidEx missed last night, though the combined shortfall was only £90. Those apart, traffic was OK, with Reload hitting it's best number in many a week.
In football, Everton were set to appoint Vitor Pereira as their desperately needed new Manager, but seem to have got cold feet due to the Everton fanbase throwing a strop. It's beyond my imagination that the guy who owns 94% of the Club & pays the bills is being influenced by the fans. Ignore the fans, ignore Social Media & just appoint the man the owner wants, job done. No wonder Everton are in a mess, if that's how they make decisions. Farhad Moshir, who owns Everton, needs to take a leaf out of Mike Ashley's book & ignore the fans.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£1,001)
A very pleasing start to the evening as edrich takes the 7 @ 7. Spent some time with him at the Prio Freeroll at DTD about 10 years ago and even though my memory is not so good these days I still recall him well & we had a very pleasant time. He's not to be confused with his namesake in the photo below though, who was an England cricketing hero of mine for many years. In fact there were a whole family of cricketing Edrich's as I recall.

Crushy took the Main, then went on to book Mega too. That was his 2nd double in 3 nights, as on Tuesday he won Mini & Quickdraw. So in 3 night's he's taken down Main, Mini, Mega & Quickdraw. Sky Poker ought to introduce handicapping, & players like Crushy - of whom there are very few - start with half the stack other players get.
3rd was Drewett who first caught the eye a few weeks ago when he took the Turbo. Things have got really interesting in the last week though with a whole series of results - 1st in 7 @ 7, 2nd in Sheriff, 2nd in Turbo, 3rd in Main & 5th in the £6k BH on Sunday. Be interesting to see how he develops.
The minor FT spots went to newdaddy, jedinemo & Collabo, all of whom have plenty of decent form in the book.

spearsy took the Mini, a popular winner. In his 12th year with Sky Poker, but it's only in the last two years he has really started motoring, & nowadays he's a bit of a beast at these stakes.
In 2nd was tomgoodun who is another very popular lad (lad?), & one of the few players I know who seem able to combine playing NLH & PLO8 at the same time and still do both profitably.

£1,500 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£1,500)
PRhack ended up as the Sheriff winner, with Drewett - 3rd in the Main - the runner-up.
A very odd distribution of head prizes here, as with just 24 unique entries (+ 5 re-entries) the 1st & 2nd took a combined 15 heads, whilst 3rd, 4th & 5th took exactly..... 0 heads. The 1st & 2nd also both got almost as much in head prizes as regular prize money.
3rd was UnEuropean, but with zero bounties, his take-home was just £116.25.

£1,500 Reload Rebuy B/Hunter (£2,142)
zigzaggg, a recent Reload runner-up, got the win this time.
Runner-up HurriKane seems to make a lot of FT's without too many wins, which hopefully is just our friend variance having a little fun.
Monday's Mini winner OldTimer99 was 5th.

£1,000 Turbo Bounty Hunter (£1,100)
Peanutman seems to split their time equally between DYM's & MTT's and played just one MTT last night - the Turbo, in which they booked the win.
2nd was bakersdoze, who has been making FT's galore of late.

Once again the final table was played in great spirit, @spearsy136 fully deserved the win.
