"Traffic was distinctly Monday-ish last night. Maybe there were all watching that huge televised match, Port Vale v Peterborough.
@Josh101 played a single Heads Up Hyper on 29th December since when he's not been seen, but in his very first MTT since then he took down last night's Main. WAL. Runner-up was @Woebegone, who was 3rd in Sunday's Major, so he's hit the post & crossbar twice in 24 hours.
@K1ng_Airk0 - easier to say than type - ran 2nd in Gold Rush Mini just 3 weeks ago, but soon made up for it by winning last night's renewal. In 3rd was @bbMike, who also ran 5th in 7 @ 7, not bad considering he also runs the FTT on Monday nights.
After winning Saturday's Reload, @TRAXreturned last night to take 7 @ 7.
There was a pleasant surprise in the Mega, which went to @Duesenberg who suddenly returned from a 6 week MTT sabbatical & played a 13 game session. Results were favourable, 7th in a £150 BH, 1st in a £400 BH, a deep run in the Main which yielded £120 plus the Mega win. He's a very capable player indeed, with a CV that includes victories in a UKOPS High Roller worth over £5,000, a UKOPS Deep Stack, two Mains (Predator & Marksman) & a Mini Major. Very much a man who does not follow the crowd, preferring to steer his own course. Almost certainly one of the biggest Bankroll Nits on the site, & be assured I say that as a compliment. He'll probably disappear for a few months now. As you know, he used to do those Stream things on Twitch, but again, he's his own man & for whatever reason he decided to take a break. Aside from earning good money at poker (mainly elsewhere) he's a musician by trade, a guitarist in fact, so he has several strings to his bow.
A tall story here as a player with the splendidly descriptive alias of@Iam6foot2 took the 9 @ 9. Runner-up was @Jac35 which might not deserve mention were it not for the fact that he played approx 67 DYM's yesterday.
@kaman113 is in cracking form, & after taking Sunday's Mini Major he made it a 24 hour win double by winning last night's Reload.
@seikus took the Turbo. Maybe the @PKRPar Express is slowing down, as he was only 3rd, though to be fair he played just 3 games last night. Probably busy counting his money."
By way of a change, today we'll start with the Stack Builder Freeroll. 195 entries, 30 paid, but none of those who began with 10,000 chips cashed. Winner was @Thoich who was 8th in the corresponding event last year. Maybe there's a knack to playing Freerolls as two other cashees also cashed in the same one last year - @TrebleAAA 5th (12th last year) & @Granite89 4th (18th last year). These are huge fun & seem to be played in great spirit. A few postscripts to the win by @Thoich - a) he's actually a DYM player, with 42,000 DYM's & just 2,000 MTT's to his name, b) it was his 2nd biggest win ever in his 14 years here, & c) that win propels him to the top of the 2024 Sky Poker Sharky Leaderboard. Eat your heart out @Natnug.
On to the Major now which made a most satisfactory £14,300, with @Alvez11 taking top spot. Annoyingly (for me) he's reset his Sharky, so I can't delve into his backform, but for sure he's won the Major more times than enough, in fact he's won most stuff here including trips to both Vegas & Punta Cana. As luck would have it, runner-up @BWFCx has reset his Sharky too, but I can tell you that from a very small sample size he's now finished both 1st & 2nd in the Major, the win coming last October, & he's monster profitable. He won last night's Sheriff by way of a bonus too.
The Mini went to @crazyn1 who makes his thread debut after 15 years here, although to be fair he's mainly a cash player. 4th was @buzka with young @Swifteyyeu finishing 6th, as well as winning a seat to the Major.
The only featured MTT to overlay was the £6k BH which missed by exactly one entry, with @haylzzzz taking 1st place for a PB, chased home by @nagrom & @Natnug. In 6th was @destinycod who had an unusually thin session after winning Saturday's Sheriff, & much the same applies to @nchanningwho was FT Bubble Boy, although his excuse was that he was engrossed in the NFL Wild Card Round, whatever that is. Bit of an NFL fanboy is Mr Channing.
On Saturday the £1,000 Sheriff made a very pleasing £2,150 which is way north of it's run-range, & it was not far short of that last night at £1,950. As already noted, Major runner-up @BWFCx took Sheriff, & the FT lined up behind him was surely one of the toughest all night.
@mcmoron10 seems to have decided to dominate Quickdraw in 2024, winning it last night for the third time in 10 nights. He did OK last year, results included 1st in BWBH & 2nd in Summit, both in August.
MidEx went to @Tyrian, the only previous mention I can find being 2nd in a £3,000 BH during the lockdown-inspired boomlet in April 2020. Amazing to think that it was nearly 4 years ago that we were all queuing to get in Supermarkets & everyone (Government Ministers excepted) were in lockdown.
That's it for today, another Sunday ticked off, it'll be Spring before we know it. There's a thought to leave you with on a bitterly cold January day.
