"By way of a change, let's start today with the Rewards Freeroll, which from now until 3rd November is giving away UKOPS entries to the top 8 or 10 finishers in addition to a £500 cash prize pool. Roughly speaking, that makes that Freeroll worth ~£2 per head which is stunning value. Even better, 1st & 2nd last night were @lurcher & @Gvbnugvv who each picked up a £220 High Roller seat. For context, they have ABI's of £1.47 & £2.20 respectively. In fact of the last 8 MTT's of @lurcher 7 were Freerolls, so presumably he must play a bit of cash too. And last night's prize was the 2nd highest all-time for @Gvbnugvv. Now they both get to play a £220 UKOPS High Roller. In addition, 3rd to 8th, who have a collective ABI of ~£3 all won a £110 UKOPS entry.
Isn't that wonderful? The VBOL to them all.
Now to the Main, which went to @wardy331 who has been here 7 years but only played ~120 MTT's, & this was just his 8th MTT since June 2020. Seems to do OK though, just missed the FT (7th) in a Predator Main last month, & was 2nd in a £500 BH two nights ago. Very pleasing result for@tai-gar too. He played 4 x £1.80 All-In Sats & won two of them, so was nicely in profit before the Main even begun, then went on to finish 4th & pick up £335. I bet he's chuffed to bits with that. @bbMikedid OK too, winning a £1.20 Frenzy into the Main where he finished 7th for about £220, & nicking £30 in the Elim Freeroll for 3rd.
@Chrissydeewon the Mini. Has a whole variety of featured MTT scores, including wins in Main, Mini & MidEx. @Tastysnack made the Mini FT for the 2nd time in 5 nights, 4th last night, 2nd on Friday.
@claudel9 won 7 @ 7, was 2nd in a £400 BH, 5th in a £500 BH & had a deep run in the 9 @ 9. Some of us met him at SPT Manchester, & he's a top top bloke.
Both Turbo & Quickdraw were won by @MikeyW94which is a bit weird, as last Thursday, when he last played, he was 3rd in both.
Making their thread debut after winning 9 @ 9 is@tedstone06
@steviep89 made the Reload FT for the 2nd straight night, 6th on Sunday, 1st last night. Think that was the 6th time he's won Reload, & even better, he's won Mega 7 times.
That's it for today. No football on TV tonight, so hopefully the MTT tables will be busy."
A distinct wintery feel yesterday & that was reflected in MTT traffic, not a penny of overlay & some really solid numbers, pick of the bunch probably being the £1k Rebuy BH which made a surprising £1,730, with the £5k BH coming in just 3 runners shy of £6,000. The Major at £10,0400 was, however, a little less than we might have hoped.
Winner of a very competitive Major was @newdaddy, his best result since taking a Gold Rush Main back in the summer. Has a quite remarkable record in the Major, this was his 2nd victory, 3 years after the first, but in all, he's made the Major FT 15 times - 2 x 1st, 6 x 2nd, 3 x 3rd, 2 x 4th & 2 x 5th. Best result all time was a UKOPS HR last Christmas for which he picked up a very handy £4,500. Runner-up last night weas @MikeyW94 with @chkngeorge bidding to win his 2nd Major but coming up just short in 3rd. It was a remarkable night for @chkngeorge who had 2 wins & 8 FT's - 4th in a £300 BH, 1st in a £300 BH, 4th in a £300 Rebuy, 1st in the £1k Rebuy BH, 3rd in the Major, 3rd in Sheriff, 3rd in a £300 Turbo BH & 6th in MidEx. 4th was @Limp2lose, @jajko was 5th with @GSmith13 6th. Last week's winner @PurpleAki1 was 7th, @NChanning 8th & The Notorious @gobbleoff 8th.
If anyone wants to see how some of the Final Table played out, @StayOrGo recorded the first half & you can see it
It's been a good week for @mnolan8317 who was 2nd in last Sunday's Major, then won last night's Mini version, as well as finishing 3rd in Reload. @gogogadget was 3rd with Everton fan (yes, seriously) @Toffeeandy a fine 5th.
Since finishing 2nd in Avenger Main 10 days earlier @Gambelo went missing, but returned in style last night to win the £5k BH and finish 2nd in Quickdraw. 4th, 5th & 6th all went to varieties of aquatic, anamniotic, gill-bearing vertebrate animals with swimming fins and hard skulls in the shape of @bigfatfish@ILIKE2FISH & @mackarel21. And yes, I copied that from Wiki.
Sheriff went to @GSmith13 adding the proceeds to his 6th place in the Major. 2nd was @Alvez11 with @chkngeorge 3rd @grinddd 4th & @StayOrGo 5th. @NChanning was 6th, he's had quite a week in the 9pm slot, making FIVE Sheriff FT's (6th, 6th, 5th, 3rd & 5th), and in Friday's BWBH he was 3rd.
@aynaricol seems to have returned suitably refreshed & is starting to notch up some solid scores, winning last night's £800 BH 2 days after winning 7 @ 7 & 3 days after finishing 2nd in 9 @ 9.
A nice double for the improving @PAPABURG who won both 9 @ 9 & a £400 BH, he won a Sheriff 3 days earlier too.
After running 2nd in Turbo a few days back, @Cei90 won last night's Quickdraw.
Think that's enough waffleage for one day.
Looking forward to the rest of the week, it's another of those annoying International Breaks in football so online poker traffic should be decent. There is a domestic game on TV tonight though - a League Two cracker between Bradford & Newport. Can't wait.
