"Very decent traffic considering there was an attractive World Cup match on.
Starting with the Major, @wineli emerged as the winner. Not sure he's ever won the Major before, but I do recall him running deep for over £2,000 in an Online SPT last year. At the Manchester SPT last week he made Day 2 with two micro stacks (surrendering the smaller, obv), & returned for Day 2, but was soon on his way home. An immensely likeable & cool character. Great few days for @mnolan8317 who won Friday's BWBH for ~£1,600, & was 3rd here for another £1,100+.
@Natnugwon the Mini, & was 2nd in Quickdraw, having won it two nights earlier.
The talented @fishhhhh (Sharky rating 94) only tends to show up on Sundays, & it worked well as he won the £5k BH.
The opening £1k BH was taken by @heedgehogwho I recall doing OK in an SPT at Newcastle 10 or 12 years ago. Heard or seen very little of him since though, maybe he's been hibernating.
@Cammykaze won the Turbo 10 days ago for his best result of the year, & followed up last night by taking 7 @ 7. Very pleased for him, he's had a challenging year, & sadly we don't see him on the Forum much these days.
I'm not too familiar with @XgudiS and he's been mostly AWOL for best part of a year except for a few games earlier this month. Played last night for the first time in a fortnight & triumphed in Mega, then followed up with 3rd in Turbo & 2nd in MidEx.
@Jscorgie seems to average a win a night at the moment, & I won't bore you again by listing his wins this month, but he added Sheriff last night and was 5th in the Major. What a heater.
Sky Poker veteran @lolufold took Quickdraw, & was 2nd in the £5k BH for decent money.
Crushy @loololollo took Reload, was 4th in Quickdraw, & won himself a Sunday Major seat in a satellite.
The Turbo was won by @seikus, just 48 hours after binking Friday's Avenger Main.
In the PL08 it was @Raptor555 who swooped to take top spot."
MTT Numbers were OK, with the £1k Rebuy BH getting an honourable mention at £1,805, right at the very top of it's range.
The Major came in at £12,200, compared with £11,700 (ignoring g'tee) last year, 5% up y-o-y.
The £6k BH came to £6,210, 12% up y-o-y, though the g'tee was only £5k last year.
Our man @HAYSIEwon the Major. Amazingly that's the 9th time he's won it, & he's also run 2nd in the Major (or it's predecessor, the Super Roller) 7 times. I guess others may have won it more times, & few have been here as long as he has, but even so, that's a remarkable achievement, especially given his advanced years - he's a long way into his seventies, or he looks it. He has his own way of playing, & he's certainly not a dedicated follower of poker fashion, but different & awkward is often the way to go. He's an annoying so & so at the best of times, but fair play to the cantankerous & curmudgeonly old codger. It pains me to be nice to him so I'll leave it at that.
2nd was @Stayorgo, who won his seat via the £24 6pm satellite. He's now been 2nd in the Major or Super Roller 7 times, though rather oddly has only won it once.
@ozzieowen took the Mini Major, then also won a £400 BH for a bit of bonus on top. Earlier in the week he had a great session, 1st in both Reload & 9 @ 9, & 2nd in Turbo.
The £6k BH saw a terrific result with @GELDY booking the win. We used to see him regularly at all the Live events, but he's a busy man with work commitments which take him all over the world, so we don't see so much of him & his famous red jumper much these days. He generally plays lower stakes but he's tricky & perfectly capable of causing the cool kids a headache at these stakes. If you happen to read this mate, hope you & yours ae well.
@Summers119 had a wonderful evening. Won the £1k BH, 5th in another £1k BH, 3rd in Reload, 4th in a Micro, won a little PLO affair, & for good measure is this week's MML winner, so that's a free £33 seat in the tank.
Think that will have to do for today, I'm way over my preferred word-count, everyone will be falling asleep.
I'm hoping to start a thread today, "Dedicated followers of poker fashion", inspired by @HAYSIE winning the Major again. I'm itching to do it, it's like ASIMS, & I know I'll regret it when I do, as it'll upset so many. It's just that, with increased age, one tends to muse a lot...

In 8th was @wineli, who won it last year.

Quite a ding-dong FT it was too, with @RogueCell @Alvez11 & @Jessieak following Ozzie home.
