Afternoon.
That's Day 3 out of the way, but it's an important one, as it's the 2nd biggest night of the series measured by guarantees. Total prize pools came in at £64,870, an uplift of 3% on the same night last year. Most of that increase came from the 8pm Main (£23,500, up from £21,300), & interestingly, 3 of the events were near identical - the High Roller being just 2 entries higher, the £3k BH 4 entries lower, & the Hyper just 1 entry higher. Not much in it then.
Before we get started, here's the Top 10 & ties in the Leaderboard BEFORE last night's results, which will help to put them in context & see who is doing what.
1 Hoff92 20

Off we go then.

The opener went to the popular @chrisdonkb who is a past SPT Champion, though I can't recall where - Brighton perhaps? He had a very good night as he was also 6th & 4th in events 17 & 19, so he picked up at least 18 leaderboard points. Maybe he was overdue as I seem to recall he had a bit of a horror show in a recent UKOPS.
3rd was @2Geronimo who occupied the same position in UKOPS 11 the previous night.
Young @NOSTRI was prominent throughout, eventually running 5th. Away from UKOPS he had a deep run in the £6k BH (won, incidentally by @PKRPar) & won the 9 @ 9.
@MikeyW94 is going along nicely, 6th here, 3rd in 19 later in the evening, & 6th in the Day 1 closer - so three FT's & he never played on Day 2.

Well now, there was a bit of an eye-opener in the HR with @Goldnug22 getting home ahead of the super talented @jordz16. @GoldNug22 has been here just 6 months & most of his (non-cash) action has been in £0.55 DYM's as far as I can see. Has played just 5 MTT's here - all of them this month, & all of them £110 Buy Ins, with the best two results both being in the Major, 6th last Sunday & 14th two weeks earlier. I can't really make much sense of that, but congrats to Mr Nug, that's some score.
And it was only @Goldnug22 that stopped @jordz16 from recording his 2nd win of the series, as he won the Mini on Saturday.
@X34 won his seat in a Rewards Freeroll & went on to turn it into £2,060 in third place. Decent freeroll that.
Casting our eyes further down the list of cashees we can see @albania in 11th & he also ran 7th in the Main. We've not seen him in an MTT here since last year's Xmas UKOPS.

If the HR was an eye-opener, the Main was a jaw-dropper as 19 year old @Swifteyyeu who has been here just 6 months & mainly plays £2, £3 & £5 stuff finished top & took home over £4,500. Biggest previous cash? £348. Even better, he got in via a £5.20 satellite which put him in semi & he got his seat there. Stunning, simply stunning.
@AlexaAJ was 2nd with @nagrom 3rd. @nagrom won a vey big Super Roller back in the day.
@CiaranBro led for a while, eventually finishing 4th for £1,650, beating his best prior cash which was £1,100 for 2nd in a Summit 7 years ago.
5th was Arsenal fan @Alvez11 who is no stranger to big scores.
Fittingly 1 spot behind the Arsenal fan was Spurs fan @TommyD who is better known for DYM's though I note he's been absent from the 1 table affairs for a month or so. He does have MTT pedigree though, & we had some great times with him in Vegas back in the day.

@luckme002 took the Mini. No real surprise, has won 8 or 10 Mains & been 2nd in a Major. Ran 5th in a UKOPS Main 8 years ago which was won by @SenorBegs - remember him?
But for Mr LuckMe, @destinycod would have recorded his 2nd win of the Series.
@freddy6618, twice a 9 @ 9 winner since August, was 3rd.

In the 2022 Autumn UKOPS @PAPABURG won a Mini & was 4th in a £220 HR, so he clearly enjoys UKOPS & took last night's 18 fending off runner-up @bigfatfish.
We have not seen @mcg899 in MTT's for 3 weeks until he showed up last night, worked out OK too, 5th in this & 2nd UKOPS 19.

@daleboss took this, though it's small fry by his standards, he's got a 91 rating & an ABI of £60. Has won the Major 3 times & been runner-up twice, & won a Vegas package with us this year.
@mcg899 @MikeyW94 & @chrisdonkb in 2nd 3rd & 4th were all making their 2nd FT of the evening.
5th was @whitters95 who had a 7th, 4th & 7th on Day 1 but was AWOL on Day 2.
@Tastysnack made his 2nd FT of the Series, 6th this time

Another popular winner here as @rspca12 takes the closer, which was his 2nd FT of the series.
2nd was @FlynTimber, with @235467 opening his account for the series in 5th & @cabbaz 6th.
After running 2nd in the £6k BH earlier in the evening, & winning UKOPS 11 on Saturday, @roddy28 was 3rd.

Seeing the name of @roddy28 name reminded me of an amazing hand he played on the way to winning SPT Las Vegas last year. (See photo at foot of this post). You don't see runouts like that too often.
