Morning.
Cash game & DYM traffic continued to be very busy thanks to the Sky Poker Premier League promo, while MTT traffic was where expected, though the Main barely fell over the line, & the Mini missed by £70. The Forum was pleasantly busy again, though there were some weird Posts, including one chap who believes that bad hands do best on Sky Poker because they use "a cheap RNG". Even after all these years in poker, comments like that leave me lost for words. I still remember the lad from years ago who believed the small theatrical delay before the river card is dealt is "to allow the software to find the outdraw card". Yes mate, that's how poker software works.
In football, Villa & Leeds served up a 3-3 thriller and despite the presence of Coutinho it was 20 year old Jacob Ramsey who caught the eye. He's very special indeed, & a home-grown lad. His two younger brothers are also on Villa's books & working their way through the system. Their Dad is Mark Ramsey who was a decent boxer who twice fought Ricky Hatton. Quite the sporting family then.

£6,000 Predator Bounty Hunter (£6,030)
Rather embarrassingly, I have no info on the winner, sumogaz, he's blocked on Sharky & not much of note comes up in Forum search.
2nd was UnEuropean, making his 5th Main Event FT of 2022, though the win is proving elusive. Has won two Turbos & a Reload this year as well as FT's of Sunday Major & BWBH though so is getting by.
In 3rd was Thakowsky, who we will look at in a little more detail shortly.
MynaFrett has moved onto fresher & bigger pastures but still pops in here now & then to pick low hanging fruit, & this was his 2nd Main Event FT in 5 nights.
In 5th was EBBERDON, who last month celebrated his 75th birthday. It's hard to imagine being that old.
Completing the FT line-up was Danyo0, who then went on to take down a post-Midnight £300 BH.

£1,500 Mini Predator (£1,500)
Mini regular sticks31 breaks his duck by winning the Mini.
Runner-up Wagaldinho is another player who comes up completely blank, though I suspect he is new to Sky Poker.
5th was MAGPIETYKE, exactly a week after he won the Mini. Is enjoying a nice upswing at the moment.

Thakowsky has enjoyed his three best ever results on Sky Poker in the last few weeks, two of which were last night. Won Mega on January 20th, repeated it last night, & also ran 3rd in the Main. Won a Reload last month too.
THETANK took 3rd, with the shy & retiring wothef in 5th.

£1,500 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£2,100)
beefmyster is starting to make quite a name for himself, & this completed a 24 hour double - Tuesday's Quickdraw & last night's Sheriff.
The FT was not short of class, with clarke996 & PowerPok3r in 2nd & 3rd, & Natnug in 6th.
Oh, & PKRPar was 4th, which gave both his Stream viewers a modicum of excitement.

£1,500 Reload Rebuy B/Hunter (£1,686)
Quite a night for cbefloyd, who began his session by winning a £300 Rebuy, followed up with 1st in Reload, then ran 3rd in a £150 Timed. Not a bad haul from just 5 games.
aynaricol continues to make FT's for fun, 2nd here, then 2nd & 6th in a couple of Turbo BH's.
Jeni82 had a decent day too, winning a midday £300 BH then finishing a fine 3rd here.

£1,000 Turbo Bounty Hunter (£1,020)
Despite twice winning Main Events, sadierose needed to be on top form to beat this FT.
Look at this little crew in 2nd - 6th. Imagine being surrounded by that bunch.

delboy504 did really well to win this, a really tough Quicky.
KLL-y, Groggy & Super_Oli were 3rd, 2nd & 4th in Turbo, & 3rd, 4th & 6th here, & Oli made it three in a row by running 6th in MidEx.

This day last year...
Results included a Reload win for SzaryPolak. Wonder what happened to them, not been spotted here for several months now.

Plays a lot of dyms at all stakes and doesn’t always get results
Never once heard a moan from him though
