It looks like the Xmas traffic boost has already started, MTT traffic was very good indeed on Friday & Saturday & that trend continued last night with almost every featured MTT coming in above it's recent run-rate.
@Jscorgie just keeps getting better & better, & last night he took the Major for the third time. Seems to revel in £100-ers, as he has won Summit 4 times & BWBH once. A stunning podium last night too, with @jordz162nd & @Granite89 3rd. Between them, those 3 have won the Major at least 14 times.
There is a new alias on the Mini Major trophy this morning as @Roachy1888makes their first ever appearance in these threads. Kudos to young @Swog who was 3rd in the Mini & 6th in the Major so collects a £150 bonus from the FTJ.
In the £5k BH two names jumped off the page, being @HAYSIE (1st) & @lolufold (4th). Both are old school, & both play the game their own way, so probably attract a fair degree of mocking from the young guns. Does not seem to stop either of them repeatedly doing well though, does it?
Reload made almost £2,000, with the top prize of some £320 going to @MRBEBB937 and hopefully ending a really nasty near 3 year downswing.
@Natnug was as busy as ever, and ended with 3 FT's - 1st in the Rebuy BH, 3rd in Turbo & 4th in Sheriff, a thin night by his standards.
@waller02 battled away all evening without much luck but turned things round eventually, 4th in Turbo & 1st in MidEx, well done Ryan.
@podraic won Friday's 9 @ 9 but it never ran last night so he won Quickdraw instead.
@chris2305 turned up & played his first MTT in a month, Sheriff, & booked the win. Has won Turbo at least 3 times but he was breaking his Sheriff duck last night.
Numbers continue to fluctuate wildly in the confused run-up to Christmas, UKOPS & the new Year. Not too bad last night, though the Major attracted 6 fewer runners than this day last year.
@mainspring won the Major. Been here since 2019, plays more cash than MTT's, but Tourney results have improved remarkably in last 2 years. Best 3 wins include a UKOPS Mini in 2020, a Sharpshooter Main last month, with last night's Major being some 3 times bigger than either of those two. Almost 16,000 games shown on Sharky but only ~2,000 were MTT's, with the two biggest scores both coming in the last 3 weeks. Definitely one to watch. In 4th was@Steed432 - exactly the same position he finished in the Major exactly one year earlier. Two notable efforts to mention, @GOBILKOGO who won his seat in Saturday's Freeroll & went on to finish 9th for £252, & old @Dewi-coolwho booked his seat via a mid afternoon satellite & ran 16th for £192. You may recall that Dewi won a Summit last month.
@woebegonehas developed into a serial winner, & took the Mini Major. @rabdeniro was playing off a free entry won in the comp run by @coo1-um & managed 9th for £27. Free money tastes so much sweeter.
After running 2nd in Friday's Mini Avenger, @Claytovhad a great score last night in winning the £6k BH. He had some super results here in the period 2011 to 2015.
On Saturday I commented at length on the win by @MacMonster in the 7 @ 7. Well he won it again last night, so that's back-to-back wins for the old soldier.
Talking of our more senior players, @wynne1938 won the Rebuy BH. If I'm not mistaken, he's 85 (?) years old. Good grief, imagine still being able to win poker tourneys in your mid-eighties, though I suppose @HAYSIEdoes so from time to time too. Well done @wynne1938.
@Morris707 is starting to make a habit of winning the 9 & 9 & did so last night for the 2nd time in under 3 weeks.
In Quickdraw, two finalists from the recent SPT Manchester clashed, with @rspca12getting the win & @Blaiseeein 6th.
@UnEuropean won Mega. You may recall he had a great run in 2021, including making the final tables of six £110 events, finishing 1st, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 6th & 6th.
A small but select field contested Sheriff with the win going to @MikeyW94 who I had the pleasure of meeting & chatting with at SPT Manchester. Very interesting & likeable character, big Newcastle fan, with a cherub-like angelic face, and looks very much like a cross between Paul Gascoigne & the shorter one of the Crankies. Has a very odd accent, Norwegian at a guess.
