"Despite - or perhaps because of - the Scotland - England game live on TV, MTT numbers were well frothy last night. Maybe the end of the heatwave helped, with rain all day, but whatever the reason it was good to see. Roll on the winter.
The £5k Gold Rush Main made a tad over £6k, with @funkybunch finishing 1st. An irregular visitor who has been here since 2009, has some solid scores in the book, including 1st & 3rd in Sunday Majors a fortnight apart in 2021, & 1st in a 2020 Hitman. 2nd was @FITBHITF who plays the Main - & nothing else - most nights, in fact his last 8 games have all been Mains. Won a Marksman Main in 2021, & has made 7 or 8 Main FT's, also won a Mini & FT'd the Major. FITBHITF? "Fire in the belly, head in the freezer" apparently.
@WOW1tsANDY took the Mini. Has been on a roll lately, with wins in Quickdraw (twice), Rebuy BH (twice), Turbo, Mega, & best of all, 1st place in the Major in late July. Was great to see @aynaricol in 5th, as it perhaps signalled the end of a painful downswing which was so bad it was almost statistically impossible. Rather oddly, the Mini was the only MTT she played here last night, though maybe she played elsewhere too, as it's very rare to see her have a 1 table session.
@grinddd who seems to specialise in £110 events took Summit for the 3rd time. Has won the Major twice & been 2nd three times as well as winning a big UKOPS. In 5th was @rspca12 who won Turbo the previous night. He's just getting back up to speed after his exile & there will be plenty more big results from him in the coming months.
@PaulDenner won 9 @ 9 for the first time, though has plenty of other featured MTT wins on his CV. Has an odd profile in Heads Up Turbos where's he's been seen playing all stakes from £0.25 to £200.
A somewhat brief write up today, as I have to go offline at around 9am until mid-afternoon.
Traffic was not great, with Mini, Mega & Turbo racking up a combined fer hundo in Overlay, although the £4,000 Main comfortably exceeded £5,000.
@destinycod won the Main. His trophy cabinet (on Sky Poker) includes a UKOPS HR, two Majors, 6 Summit/BWBH's & an Avenger Main. It's fortunate for the player pool that he plays much of his poker elsewhere, if he stuck to Sky Poker & played everything he'd dominate MTT's to a large extent. He had a very big (5 figure) score in the "Live" arena recently too. A quite exceptional effort to run 2nd by @Slimmish, having won their seat in an All-In satellite. Despite a modest Sharky rating, that was not the first time they've done well from a satty, I wrote this last October;
"BWBH saw a sensational win for @Slimmish, as far as I can tell his best previous results in 3+ years here were a couple of 7 @ 7 wins. Did it the hard way too, starting with winning two £5.20 Quarters, then qualifying via the £24 Semi, then scooping £1,365 in the actual event, not a bad return for £5.20"
In 3rd was @Summers119 who had a very good evening as he won the Rebuy BH. His Sharky graph is an absolute picture, both literally & metaphorically.
@kitty1989 only seems to play the Mini these days, & infrequently at that. 7 of their last 8 games stretching over 3 weeks have all been Mini. Got the win last night so will be a happy kitty this morning. Can we take a guess that they are ~35 years old?
Similar story for @squirrel15 who rarely plays anything except 7 @ 7 these days, (7 of their last 8 MTT's over a 12 day period) & won it last night.
A thread debut for 9 @ 9 winner @needham. Every reason to be proud too, as they beat a vey decent FT which included @grinddd@jawzindawz & the in-form @PAPABURG
@claudel9continues to do well, & having won last Friday's Avenger Main - the one everyone wants to win - he added the £800 BH last night.
Not sure about MTT traffic tonight, as England are playing Finland. Huge match, hard to predict that outcome...
That will have to do for today, I need to press on, a big day for me (away from work) today.

This day last year

Team Big Boy were much in evidence, with wins for @GFKIJKLL (7 @ 7), @loololollo (Mega), @bigfatfish (Reload) @cabbaz (Turbo) & @PRhack93 (Quickdraw).
@Rashnikov completed a hat-trick of wins inside a week, adding the Rebuy BH to 7 @ 7 & Main he had already won.
The SPT Semi ran again, with @chrisdboy & @Chapperz both winning their first seat."
Morning.
