Who won what, Tuesday 8th February - Crushy takes the Main, SwannLol the Summit

Morning.
Tuesday's MTT traffic was very Tuesday-ish, the exception being the Main which fell short by a dozen runners. Forum posts & Views, which had been quiet on Sunday & Monday, bounced back strongly.
In sport, the story which got most eyeballs was the cat-kicking affair involving West Ham's Zouma. The whole thing is beyond horrible, but we don't need to discuss that. The real mystery to me is why would his brother film it, & then upload it to social media? What reaction did he expect? We'd all laugh? Bit of a Gerald Ratner moment there.
Still on football, Dele Alli came on for Everton last night & had an absolute mare. It's sad to see such a wonderful talent wasted. He's got himself a nice car though, a quarter of a milly's worth of Roller.
In cricket, Broad & Anderson have both been rested for next month's tour of the West Indies. We have all admired those two, both of whom have been magnificent, so it's a bit sad. However, we got humiliated in Australia & failed in all departments, on & off the field, so a wholesale top-to-bottom clear-out is needed. And that's exactly what Interim Head Honcho Andrew Strauss is doing. Bravo him. Things might get worse before they get better, but new young blood is needed, & it's 100% the right decision in my view.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£910)
Slev23 usually only plays every few days, & when he does it's mostly single-tabling, occasionally two. Even so, had some tidy results last year including wins in Mega & Turbo, & he added 7 @ 7 last night.In 5th was @Enut who I was reminded of when watching Clarkson's Farm. Tuney is a sort of better-mannered mini version of Clarkson, got land, livestock & all sorts. But, unlike Clarkson, he can do that rare thing of being able to play NLH & PLO8 at the same time. Played just 4 MTT's last night, from which he harvested 5th in 7 @ 7, 5th in the 19.18 PLO8, & then won a £500 BH. Those three games were all running at the same time, so that took some doing, especially as he is quite elderly.

What a Heads Up this must have been as NKOTB Drewett had his first HU experience with MTT end boss Crushy, with the latter emerging victorious to the surprise of nobody. Away from the Main, both drew blanks all night, though Crushy did run 3rd in Reload.
It was a battle of the two Tony's for 3rd & 4th, with TONY509 getting the better of the undisputed champion chunterer HAYSIE.
In 6th was cabbaz, with the much-loved Collabo in 7th.

cabbaz took the Mini, & as he ran 6th in the Main, he collects £250 worth of FTJ. He was also 4th in Summit, so quite a night for him.
snoxx11 has had a bit of a thin time recently, but 2nd here & then 6th in Mega suggests the tide may be turning.
Just missing out on the FT was cyclist-lover Jac35.

A win in MidEx on 4th January boded well for AKAscotty but since then he's been firing blanks until he took last night's Mega. Was also 6th in 7 @ 7. As I write this on Wednesday morning, he's playing a bunch of £20 HU Turbos, & currently leads 3-2.

£6,000 Summit Bounty Hunter (£6,800)
SwannLol, who won a £6k BH last month, took Summit. Railers were treated to some interesting chat exchanges between him & runner-up Tastysnack, probably their way of showing respect to each other.
This was some Final, look at that line-up, not a weak player between them.

dylan95lfc only plays Reload, not nightly but quite often, so this would have been a sweet win for him.
Tough top 3 for a Reload too, with splashies & Crushy 2nd & 3rd.

£1,000 Turbo Bounty Hunter (£1,500)
StayOrGo seems to be back in good form, just 24 hours after taking Monday's Main he ran 6th in both Summit & MidEx, & won Turbo.
Another strong FT too, with Gambelo, UnEuropean & pizzled all involved.
Groggy is back making a thorough nuisance of himself in MTT's again, 6th here & 4th in Quickdraw. Was joint winner of the Sky Poker Premier League last week, & currently leads this week too.

A week ago beefmyster won Quickdraw, & he repeated the trick last night. Having a really good year & his Sharky graph is as pretty as a picture. Was 5th in MidEx too.
Runner-up was Mr Arrogant, his only FT of what was a rare thin session for him.

This day last year...
Melty won Summit, & after @tomgoodun won Mega a rare photo of him was unearthed.

Thanks for your kind(?) words @Tikay10. I am also a petrol head like Clarkson and have a penchant for offending people, often deliberately, also like Clarkson.
I was chuffed with my poker results last night. 3 out of 4 final tables including a win was well above my normal level. The £10 one had some good players in it too. I tangled with one of the top players a few times and finally knocked him out but only after I had failed on two previous occasions with dominating aces AIP, only to get three outered each time. I suspect he is one of the Sky favoured players or knows how the Sky cheap RNG works better than I do, something like that anyway.
p.s. Also I play in front of the TV, on a laptop, whilst feigning interest in whatever garbage the other half insists we watch. God knows how I win anything!
