Quite a surprise in the Avenger Main as @LeSheik topped the FT. Mostly single tables, usually Freerolls or the £5.50 entry £1k BH, & just 8 MTT's in the last fortnight. Far as I can see has never won a featured MTT previously, & has played some 3,000 times here. Well done Sheik bloke. 2nd was Mr On & On himself, @HAYSIE. In 3rd was @woebegone, @cabbaz was 5th & Palace Bloke @cpfc_2010 6th.
In the Mini, 1st place went to another infrequent visitor & single tabler these days @albaking who was playing just his 8th MTT this month . Played a lot here though, over 30,000 games, & has been on a decent uptick for the last year or so. This was their 5th Mini victory, &, remarkably, 4 of them were Avengers. Has a Main win too.
A few eyebrows might be arched at the BWBH winner who was playing their first ever & only game on Sky Poker, so well done @Smk87. What a way to start. @keczmo had a fruitful session, 2nd in the Rebuy BH, won a £24 satellite to get his BWBH seat & ended up 2nd for the best part of £900.
@Hxo has taken 2 months to play his last 8 MTT's & bricked the first 7 but it all changed last night as he took 9 @ 9.
@bigfatfishtook Mega. Is fast approaching 150,000 games here, of which only 10% were MTT's. If we use Sharkly's numbers, his ROI in MTT's here is 44% over a 14,000+ sample size. @MAXALLYhas shown improved form in the last month & was 3rd, earlier he was 6th in the £500 Mega & he was also 6th in the previous night's MidEx, so technically 3 FT's on the day.
@monkey07returned from a 2 week hiatus to win the 7 @ 7. @Asho28 was 6th, one of 5 FT's he made last night. Finishing possys? 2nd, 4th, 5th, 5th & 6th. He'll likely run 4th, 5th or 6th in this week's Daily Forum Comp too if previous history is a guide.
Playing his first MTT for almost 7 weeks, @Poker_Joe took MidEx."
Fair to say, the sooner the Euros are over, the better, at least as far as Sky Poker are concerned, &, for that matter, maybe England too. The insipid England performance kicked off at 5pm but was followed at 8pm by a much more attractive fixture as an excellent Spanish side eased past Italy. Whether we blame the Euros, or the belated arrival of summer, MTT traffic was dire, in fact every featured NLH MTT missed guarantee, a perfect 12/12, which must be some sort of record. In total, those 12 MTT's missed by just shy of £2,000, with Hitman Main contributing around 40% of the total. On a brighter note, yesterday was the longest day, so the nights start drawing in now. There's always an upside, eh?
One man who seemed to revel in the smaller fields was @NOSTRIwho I suspect is not much of a football fan, but he does OK at the poker & notched up a splendid hat trick, taking the 8pm Hitman Main, the 6pm £500 BH, & 7 @ 7, the start time of which has momentarily escaped me. He does not play very often these days - he has a life & a wife - and for those reasons, probably enjoys his poker more when he does play. Poker addiction is a terrible thing & you'd be surprised how many suffer from it, but@NOSTRI seems to have got the balance right. It was his 5th Main Event win, comprising 3 x Marksman & 2 x Hitman, with both those Hitman victories coming this year. His best ever MTT result was winning a boomlet Avenger Mini in 2021for the best part of £1,100. In 2nd place last night was @podraic who won his seat via a satellite, in fact he won three satellites last night, bagging two seats to Hitman & one to Sheriff.
@Fabraclasshad a solid session too, winning Reload, 5th in the Main & 2nd in Quickdraw.
In the Mini, @pappa1949 was the Daddy. he is serial final-tabler in both 7 @ 7 & 9 @ 9 but as far as I can tell this was his first win in the Mini.
Sheriff had just 12 Uniques last night (plus 2 rebuys), the smallest I've ever seen but it was still a super tough one to win with the first 5 home being @Granite89@Froozle@Jessieak@ILIKE2FISH & @GSmith13 with @RUTSTER19 getting zero prize money in 6th but three Head Prizes.
One for the notebook is @Cei90 who has been here just over a year but only started to out in any volume the last few months & has a sky-high ROI so far. Won last night's Rebuy BH for the 2nd time in 5 weeks, has won a Mega, & was 4th in Monday's Main. Definitely worth keeping an eye on.
Absent for almost 3 months, @Macca0312 suddenly showed up last night & promptly won 9 @ 9.
@lee_long is a standing dish in Mega & took it last night, he regularly makes the FT & n fact won it almost exactly a year ago.
That's about it for today.
I am off to London at 6am tomorrow so there will not be a write-up, but I will try & do a "Lite" version when I get back home in the evening.
