Morning.
Regular readers will know I structured the write-up slightly differently yesterday. Having spent some time perusing the avalanche of comments readers made, for & against, it came out exactly even so I think I'll try the same thing today.
Guarantees came to £34,000, and prize pools were £46,310. How does that compare with the same day last year? Well last year's Day 2 came to £46,280, this year £46,310, an increase y-o-y of.... 0.006%. Shall we call it a draw?
On we go then.

£20 seems a good price point for a Rebuy on Sky Poker. Folks never went mad, though one unfortunate soul had 8, plus an add-on.
One of the better aspects of a UKOPS is that we see old friends return, as was the case here when @Wacko90 returned to the Sky Poker streets. Apart from Avenger Main last week, we've not seen David since the Spring. Been here almost 14 years & won all the big stuff, & I believe this was at least his third UKOPS victory. Been to Vegas with us a few times too. Doubt anyone on the site has ever said a bad word about him.
In finishing 2nd, @Upswing enjoyed his biggest score ever here, almost double the previous best which was earlier this year when he won a Mini Avenger.
A nice profitable night for 3rd placed @jawzindawz who only played this, the Main (in via a satellite) & Mini.
5th, & making his first FT of the series was @PBKR. Once he learns how to play K-K properly his results will improve.

At 5.30pm @myjokras00 paid £5.50 to enter a £300 BH & won it to take home £118. Hours later he won the £110 Main collecting £3,760. Even better, he was on a Free Entry won in the Elim Freeroll thing, as he won £330 worth of UKOPS seats in Week Two. £3,760 off a Freeroll is pretty neat imo.
That win was all that prevented @Hoff92 being the first player to book two wins in the series, as he was runner-up here after winning the Day One Mini. He'll surely not be far off 1st place when the new leaderboard is published later today.
@bigfatfish (3rd) was making his 2nd FT of the Series.
More worrying for everyone (cue Jaws music) was @Tedson who was 5th. By the end of the evening, he had made 5 Top 10 finishes in Days 1 & 2 which might just be enough to see him hit the top of the leaderboard, especially as the Day 1 Leader never played last night. It'll be close between @Hoff92 & @Tedson for sure.

£1,260 seems a lot of cash for winning a Sky Poker Mini but that's what @jordz16 took home after emerging on top. He was 8th in the Day 1 Main too. Very good player & a serious sports bettor.
A tremendous result for runner-up @Lee_Boy who collected £617, his previous lifetime best cash on Sky Poker was just £151.
In 3rd was @Hod4k997 who was enjoying his first cash of the Series, though he did win Friday's MidEx.

SPT Vegas winner @roddy28 won this, & I notice that on the same day last year he also had a win, UKOPS 13 that time. Nice bloke but not someone you ever want on your table, especially to your immediate left.
I'm not at all familiar with runner-up @grzanka but he ran 9th in the Rebuy earlier in the evening so a good night for him, just a shame he never played anything on Day One.
Having played every single UKOPS so far, @T_Bundy secured his first FT & leaderboard points by finishing 6th. Expect better results from him before the party is over, he's more than useful, & won a Major & Avenger Main in the space of two weeks in August.

91 rated @cabbaz had drawn a blank before topping this but it was only a matter of time before the results came, & we'll see plenty more of him before the series concludes next Sunday.
@tonyp142 did remarkably well to run 2nd despite all sorts of domestic drama thanks to a freak storm which caused plenty of angst in Chez Tony.
4th was @Dozza who celebrated by running up an 8 streak at £10 & £20 Turbo DYM's & ended up playing 35 of them, right through the night until past 5am this morning.
In 5th was @Drewett who had three Top 10 finishes on Friday & was sitting 3rd in the Leaderboard after Day One.

That's it for today. The Saturday day 2 is not generally over exciting but things hot up tonight with the first of two big Sunday schedules. Tonight includes a £15,000 HR & a £20,000 Main so things get serious again. Do please remember though that it's a 10 day series, so keep some powder dry & don't go daft.
I'm going to watch the Manchester Derby this afternoon though I'll be super-surprised if it matches the excitement level of last night's Rugby World Cup Final.
Enjoy the rest of your day, however you spend it.
I'll be back with another review tomorrow, same time, same place.
