"Lovely & busy last night, good numbers across the board, best of all the £1,000 Quickdraw which came in at £2,280.
Top billing goes to @Natnug who took Avenger Main for £1,740, was 3rd in the £1k Rebuy BH & 5th in Quickdraw. I can't regale you with his stats as he's no longer on Sharky, which, from my perspective is a shame. We do know he was the most profitable MTT-er on Sky Poker in 2022 though.
With perfect timing, the Mini fell to @Rolexdaman who is one to watch. 2nd was the exceptionally highly-rated @Max_Bear who has two cashes of over £9,000 on Sky Poker, one for winning a UKOPS Main, the other for 2nd in an SPT Online. Not many players here have two such big cashes. 3rd was Donald, @thislteduwho you know all about.
As you'd expect in the £110 entry BWBH the FT had some well-known & very good players such as @Jscorgie@seikus & @fishhhhh. The winner was a surprise though, as it went to a relative stranger playing just his 2nd MTT here this year, @MarkOKW1. Been here almost 7 years but played just 59 MTT's, though he does play a fair amount of cash. Biggest - & only - previous win was a Turbo for £440 in 2021, so last night's £1,566 payday was far & away a PB.
The oddly-aliased @andifall1 has only been here 2 months & played just 68 games, securing his maiden featured MTT win in last night's £1k Rebuy BH.
Having won Thursday's 9 @ 9, @Froozle followed up by taking Mega last night. 4th was @GREGSTER who has made a great start to 2023, with wins in Quickdraw & Reload (the latter just 2 days ago) & 2nd in a 9 @ 9.
@PRhack93 scored his first Featured MTT win on 2023 in Turbo, although he hit the crossbar a few weeks ago when 2nd in a Sharpshooter Main.
It's been slim pickings for @Shrimpy28 so far this year - and it's rare that slim & Shrimpy appear so juxtaposed - but he blobbed back to form last night by taking MidEx & finishing 7th in Avenger Main."
There was a good vibe around the tables last night, with that new PLO8 thing generating a lot of fun & comment, more of which later, but don't forget the PLO version (high only...) will debut on Saturday.
@MRMIAGI took the Main, less than 2 weeks & just 6 games since he ran 3rd in Sharpshooter Main. Previous headline wins include a Hitman Main (last August) & a UKOPS. Spare a thought for @HHACKNEY who has hit the post & the crossbar in 24 hours - 2nd in Wednesday's Main, 3rd in last night's Main.
The Mini FT was most interesting. @loololollo took the win, one of THREE wins last night - Mini, Turbo & Quickdraw. 2nd was one of THE great characters of Sky Poker, @GaryQQQwho is still running marathons not just in the UK, but across the world, & he has just won entry into the 2025 Japan Marathon. Has a wonderful record here, not just that famous £0 to £1,000 Challenge which he successfully completed, but over 14,500 games at an ABI of ~£3, he's made a profit of just over £1 a game. Stunning numbers. Big shoutout to @toonblazer too. Only joined Sky Poker last week, and from just 27 games played has already made the Mini FT twice - 6th in last week's Gold Rush, & 4th in last night's Hitman. The @NOSTRI heater continues - 5th in Mini, 4th in 9 @ 9, 5th in Reload, & won a Sheriff seat in a satellite. Seems to be much improved, or maybe just very lucky.
After a challenging 2nd half of 2023, @aynaricolis back on an upward trajectory, & after winning Sunday's renewal of the Rebuy BH she took down last night's 9 @ 9, & I believe she had a nice bink elsewhere too. On Sunday of course she cashed in the Stack Builder Freeroll for the 2nd straight week, & she also won a Sunday Major seat in the Freeroll on Sunday.
Finally, the new £400 guaranteed PLO8 debuted last night, & beat it's guarantee comfortably. After a lengthy battle, the man who first suggested it - Neil Channing @NChanning - took the win. It's a wonder the "it's rigged" brigade are not on the case already. A great effort too by @HENDRIK62 who was 2nd, & also ran 2nd in the regular £5.50 version which ran an hour earlier. @bbMike was a fine 4th. It was pleasing to see a few "strangers" who would not usually be on the site, amongst them one or two faces who are quite well-known in the wider poker world. @pompeynicplayed too, only the 2nd time we've seen him in 6 months. Don't forget, the PLO version (High only....) debuts on Saturday.
