"Main event winner @ashjam is in his 15th year here & has not hitherto attracted much attention, this being his first ever thread mention. To be fair, he's more a cash game player really, relatively low volume but nicely profitable. He gained entry via a £7.20 satellite so that's a cracking result. A night to preserve, eh ashjam?
Quite a contrast with Mini winner @Froozle, who is a long way into 6 figures of MTT profit here, & had a good dash at the FTJ last night as he was 12th in the Main.
An unusual double landmark for @NOSTRI last night, who achieved two milestones. In winning the £1k Rebuy he exceeded £1,000 of profit in that specific tourney in 2023, and an hour or so earlier he won that £300 Rebuy which kicks off at 18.15, & in a remarkable coincidence, exceeded £1,000 of 2023 profit in that too. He's won that £300 Rebuy at least 6 or 7 times I believe. Congrats Mr Nostri. Eventually of course, the Peter Principle will kick in, but for now he's very much on the left hand side of his bell graph & I'm sure he has a long way to go before he begins that long slow slide down the other side.
@timbobingo took 7 @ 7, & it must have been a long day for him, as he also made the FT (finishing 2nd) in a £100 Rebuy that went off at 09.45.
Having run 5th in Tuesday's Mini, an emboldened @sweedy1 raced to victory in the £1k BH.
Inevitably, the big-hitters won their share, with @Arrogant taking 9 @ 9, @seikusthe Turbo, & of course @Froozle who bagged the Mini as already mentioned.
Whisper it quietly, but @Murmur who won Quickdraw might be a live one. Just 26 games here, but pretty big ones - yesterday alone he played 7 HU Hypers of which 3 were £200's, 3 were £100's & one was a £50. By Sky Poker standards, that's real nosebleed stuff.
Another oddity was @blee1206 who has been dormant for around 11 years but has suddenly started playing. Just 9 games so far, but that includes 3rd in MidEx last Friday & 1st in MidEx last night. Oddly, 23 hours earlier he played & won a 1am 141 runner Freeroll which was worth exactly £5.41.
After a break for the SPT, the daily reports can now resume.
MTT traffic last night was about where expected I would imagine. Bear in mind that the Euros start on Friday of next week, and the typical kick off times are 5pm & 8pm most days, so that's gonna have a huge effect on MTT traffic. I've no idea what James has planned but would not be at all surprised to see significant guarantee reductions for the duration. Eros - bad for Sky Poker, excellent for Sky Bet. What a great business model.
After returning from a 4 month absence just a couple of days ago,@pilgrim529made great progress to win last night's Main. It's been some years since he made these threads, the last time being, I believe, 2021. 2nd was @Arrogant in what turned out to be his only cash of the session, but it was worth £660 so surely enough to turn a nice profit on the night.
The Mini went to @gutshotterwho has several claims to fame, including 3 wins in a single UKOPS series (last Autumn) & winning both Avenger Main & BWBH on the same night, which nobody else has managed AFAIK. 2nd was @salty91 playing for just the 4th time this year & 5th time since last August. 6th was The Notorious@gobbleoffwho actually won a Mini around a fortnight ago. He won a seat in the Major in last night's Freeroll too.
Just days after helping himself to a share of the FTJ (2nd in Main, 6th in Mini) @ILIKE2FISHwon Summit, the first time he's done so. Has made a habit of hitting the woodwork, twice been 2nd in the Major, also been 2nd in a big UKOPS Rebuy, & 2nd in a BWBH. He won a Vegas seat in the Final last month so all being well we'll see him over there next month.
9 @ 9 went to @bigfatfish with 2nd going to @Kahuna96who I was very pleased to chat with up at SPT Glasgow. In 3rd was@kidgrimsby which, rather oddly, he did on Monday night too, so 3rd place in 9 @ 9 two nights running, well done Dave.
@Gambelo is in the form of his life. Last night he won both Mega & Turbo, and that means that since Friday he's had 4 wins - Avenger, Mega, Turbo & Quickdraw, plus 2nd in a Sheriff & 4th in the Sunday Major. That's form.
Nice double for @JoseLopeztoo who won Reload, having already won a late afternoon £100 Rebuy.
On Friday @al393 ran 4th in Quickdraw, and improved on that last night with a fine win.
In the £800 BH it was @Collabo who came out on top. I've no doubt he deserved it, but he was certainly helped by a 4 way all-in in which he had 10-10 v K-K, A-A & A-K, with a 10 on the Flop sealing the deal for a huge pot. In the same tournament, I noted another player got a little upset, & I'm curious how many of the words in his sentence will escape the Forum Profanity Filter. Tell you what, let's try it & see;
"**** limping **** **** **** **** ****"
The previous night, the same player came out with this gem.
"**** sick sewer **** a2o **** **** **** ****"
More seriously, imagine getting that bent out of shape in a fiver MTT. Makes no sense at all, does it? If you play fiver comps you are playing for fun, but that does not sound like fun to me. OK, on that note, I'm done, back tomorrow. And I don't want to sermonise, but if you are getting THAT upset in fiver comps, take a break please & have a good think about life.
