"In addition to my usual "it's Sunday" excuse for a truncated write-up, today is Ryder Cup Sunday and it starts at 10.35, so a super short one today.
There was a little bit of overlay in both 7 @ 7 & 9 @ 9, which is quite unusual, but otherwise numbers were broadly as expected. Sharpshooter Main came in at £6,960, which is ~10% up y-o-y.
Winner of the Sharpy Main was @bcarney97 & it was his first significant result here, though has only been here a year & played just 71 MTT's. @DustoLucko played a short session of 4 MTT's (including Elim Fr) & did well, 2nd in the Main & 3rd in MidEx. He has some great results, including a £10,000 Viva Las Vegas package in 2016 & 3 Sunday Majors, the latest of which was in March of this year. In 6th was @craigcu12 who was playing just his 3rd MTT here this year, having deserted Sky Poker for greener pastures at the end of 2022. Like Little Bo-Peep's sheep, he always finds his way home eventually.
Great to see the Mini go the way of Donald @thisltedu who really does live the life of Riley these days, & nobody deserves & appreciates it more.
Until this year, @stuiam had been here 9 years & 5,000+ MTT's without troubling the judges in featured MTT's until in May he won the £1k BH & last night he won again, this time 9 @ 9.
Mostly a 1-tabler, @JFLUSHdoes remarkably well in 7 @ 7 & he took last night's renewal having won it on Thursday too, in fact that's three 7 @ 7 wins since July, plus he won a Rewards Freeroll in early September.
@Marion1985 is not an alias many of you will recognize, having only been here 8 months & played just 400 MTT's but seems to be making progress. Won a Reload in July, was 2nd in the £1k BH on Wednesday & won it last night.
@App147, who appears to be a keen PLO8 player, took the £1k Rebuy BH for the 2nd time in 3 weeks.
Playing just his 3rd MTT here since May, @jonesy84 won Mega.
@funkybunchwho won the Main a couple of weeks ago, took the Turbo.
Well the first Ryder Cup singles match tees off in 10 minutes, so it's time to go time.
Well Payday Week has arrived, the football on TV was not up to much, (it was "Rooney's Plymouth as we apparently must call them until Rooney gets the sack, v Luton Town), so no great interest, and therefore no excuses for overlay & no excuses needed, as there was none. Happy days.
Friday night is Avenger night, the one everyone wants to win & we saw what I consider a surprise winner in @trip55, not to be confused with @Trip5aka Irene. Has been here 7 years during which time they seem to have kept their talent under wraps, as I can't find any decent scores except for 2nd in a Quickdraw last Friday. Well done Trippy Person. In 2nd was @Gambelo who Sharky deem worthy of a 95 Rating, & they don't come much higher than that. 1-tabling into 3rd place was @heellloooo with @Itsover4u in 4th. In 5th was @BWFCx who has a 50% ROI off an ABI of £47, albeit over a sample size of just 114. In his short time here he's made the Sunday Major FT 4 times, finishing 1st, 2nd, 4th & 6th. In 6th place was @PokerBob13 who I see won a little £150 Turbo BH on Thursday.
By contrast, it was no surprise at all to see @seikus win the Mini. Had quite a night actually - 1st in Avenger Mini, 5th in BWBH, 9th in Reload, 4th in a £500 BH, 5th in Quickdraw, & 2nd in a late night £300 Turbo BH. An awesome session for @seikusthough it must be said it was not the strongest of Avenger Mini Final Tables as @NOSTRI & @Jac35somehow managed to finish 3rd & 4th respectively. Runner-up was @ducksere who occupied the same finishing position in a £100 Deep Stack later in the evening.
@pooochy has had a few wins this year including MidEx & Turbo, but moved up in grade last night to take the £110 entry BWBH, probably their biggest success here to date. In 2nd was @PAPABURG who has had a really good September, this being the highlight, though other results this month include 1st in the Turbo & 2nd in a Hitman Main. Another who has had a good September is @NChanning who ran 3rd here. Mini winner @seikus was 5th. In 6th, having won his £110 seat in a £24 satellite was @NOSTRI, although there was no prize money for 6th. He did manage a Head Prize though.
@shaunishhas taken 13 years to play ~140 MTT's, only 8 of which were in the last 4 month, & all but one were in the 7 @ 7 & which included a 6th & a 4th, so it must have been very pleasing to win it last night.
@chippy102 won the Rebuy BH to make it two wins in 24 hours as he won a £300 BH on Thursday evening.
Three weeks ago the awkwardly-aliased @IC3M4N88made their thread debut with 3rd in Mega, last night they went 2 spots better to grab the (virtual) trophy.
9 @ 9 went the way of @Jaffo and in a hotly-contested Turbo @supersibb fended off a high class FT to take the top spot.
Having run 3rd in MidEx two night earlier, @oc69 won last night's renewal, those two results bookending 1st place in a £300 BH. Has now won MidEx 4 times, and their best result was 2nd in a UKOPS last Autumn.
That's it for today, I'm off to (try to) play some golf now, then watch some football on TV later. WAL. Enjoy your Saturday.
