"First up, last night's Vegas final, where three Vegas packages were on offer, & they went to @Super_Oli@Thorxx& @daleboss. Oli is a very popular SPT regular, though he does not look old enough to play poker in Vegas where the minimum age is 21. All three won their seats in the Final via satellites earlier in the month. @Thorxxhas a fairly low ABI so it's a big deal for him, by contrast @daleboss is a big hitter who has won the Major 4 times. Bitter disappointment & the worst bubble on Sky Poker for 4th placed & thus £4,000 bubble boy @goldnballz who was chippie for quite a while in the late stages, before running 10-10 into the Q-Q of @Thorxx. There was a comedy hand though, after that beat & a few mishaps he was low chip & in shoving mode, but when he got it in with the old K-7 v the Aces of @daleboss it looked all over. Cue a flopped King, a turned king, and a rivered King, for quads. Wonder what the odds of quads were there? Oh, wait, don't answer that....
EDIT - An embarrassed apology, as I've now been reminded that @Thorxx was with us in Vegas last year, so he's now won two Vegas packages on the spin.
On to the Major now. On Friday, I wrote...
"A successful but very frustrating sesh for @Froozle who was 2nd, as well as 5th in a £500 BH, 4th in Mega & 2nd in Turbo."
Then, on Saturday, I penned this...
"In yesterday's write-up I referenced @Froozle having a frustrating session, with 4 FT & no wins (2nd, 2nd, 4th & 5th), & it was rinse repeat last night as he was 3rd in a £500 BH, 2nd in Mega, 4th in Reload & 2nd in Turbo".
Well it all came right last night as he pocketed 1st place in the Major. What a thing of beauty variance is. He was 15th in the Mini too, so a mini FTJ sweat. There was actually another FTJ sweat by @JACKDAWwho was 8th in the Major & 24th in the Mini. His Major seat came from a Freeroll, & his Mini seat from a Forum Comp. And to complete the set, it looks like he won the free to enter Daily Forum Comp thanks to a goal in the 95th minute of Liverpool v Spurs.
The £5k BH made over £6,000, with @AlexaAJ providing the right answers, & @ILIKE2FISH having a fine run into 3rd.
@cezaris is a newbie to Sky Poker, & playing just his 18th MTT, took down Sheriff, his first headline win. Seems to be more of a cash player I think.
@ozzieowen finished April with a flourish, winning both the £1k BH & Turbo. What a month he's had, winning Summit twice on the spin, a Main, a Quickdraw, 2 Turbos & a £1k BH.
Finally, a spectacular result by @diamondlee in winning MidEx. Usually plays £2 & £5 stuff, plus the odd £10er, but very rarely £20, in fact this was only the 2nd time I can see they played a £20 MTT, & it was easily their biggest ever MTT cash. In 4th was @fredsgirl who collected £60.50, hardly life-changing, but more than @goldnballz got for 4th in the Vegas Final. Paula was the best player in the house last night it seems. Ooof. Poker can be oh-so-cruel."
Traffic was Ok last night imo. Few bits & pieces of overlay, but otherwise pretty good.
No mention of @loololollo today? Nope, the streak is broken. He did win a £300 Timed but that does not count. Perhaps he's human after all.
Talking of "human" I was somewhat amused by this Tweet which was sent to Sky Poker...
"Let's talk about your app needs investigating it's full of ai BOTS an I think your scamming players"
I'm going to go out on a limb & suggest we won't be seeing the complainant on MasterMind any time soon.
On to last night's Main which made a healthy £6,450 & went to@tartu who won his seat in a £7.20 satellite & eventually went home with ~£1,200 in his pocket. Not on Sharky so I only have limited knowledge, but has won the Main quite a few times, & this was at least the 2nd time they've won Sharpy. Has won at least one Sunday Major too. The podium was completed by @Jessieak & @mainspring.
Something of a surprise winner in the Mini which went to @lynnemc who only signed up yesterday and played just 2 games (one a Satellite) before playing & winning the Mini. What a start. By way of contrast,@KOBAC with 8,600 games to their credit was 2nd with 12,000 game veteran @hhammerhea in 6th.
A nice win double for @Sharki0 who took both the £1k Rebuy BH & Mega.
Almost a double for @Natnug too but he came up just shy, he won Sheriff OK but was pipped in the Quickdraw by @StayOrGo.
Turbo was won by @ronnieg197 who has been here 12 years & although has clocked up almost 2,000 MTT's is mainly a cash game player. This was their 2nd biggest result lifetime, beaten only by winning a Hitman Main for almost 3 times as much in February of last year.
The Usual Suspects were well in evidence with wins for @TheSaw (7 @7)@tonyp142 (Reload) & @235467 (MidEx).
In the Vegas Quarter, Semi Final seats went to @Jessieak@TheSaw& @gazroy with £9.40 of loose change going to @MAXALLYwhich is almost enough to try another QF tonight. One interesting entrant was @CxE1 who, with one exception, we have not seen on the MTT or satellite streets here on Sky Poker since June of last year. Sadly, it did not go well & he was the first departure.
That's it for today. BIG night tonight, with the first Vegas Final & at least 3 x £4,000 packages up for grabs, & tomorrow sees the start of Vegas Streak weeks & Vegas Eliminator Freerolls. Love this time of year.
