"For the 2nd straight night, in the UKOPs Rewards Freeroll, the two UKOPS High Roller seats went to players with modest ABI's (£2.07 & £3.31) respectively, so many congrats to @diggerboy & @WUBBZY1401 . The pattern was repeated for the six £110 UKOPS Free Entries, with at least one player having an MTT ABI of less than a quid. This seems to me to be good for everyone, & for those who won the seats, it'll make for a memorable evening when they get to play these big-buck events.
On a similar theme, the Elim Freeroll winner was @WannedMan (ABI £2.51) and as he was already sitting joint 3rd in the Leaderboard (prior to today's Update) he has a realistic chance of some hefty value UKOPS entries by the time the week ends.
@Blaisee won the Main, & he has a stellar CV including a dozen or more assorted Main Events, 4 of which were Avengers. Quite a variety of MTT's amongst the 15 or more 4 figure binks to his name, including Sky Sports BH (remember that?), "Double Stack" (even I can't recall that one), & 2nd for £4,800 in a "Super Weekend Main". There was a huge result for @EKC in 2nd place (£694) for whom the best previous results I can find are wins in MidEx & the nightly PLO8 "biggie".
The Mini went to @gogogadget for the 2nd time since just prior to last Christmas. It's been a breakthrough year for Mr Gadget, his 2023 roll-call of wins includes a Main, a Mini, 3 Megas & 2 Reloads.
Bit sad to see the £110 entry £4,000 Summit came up 4 entries shy of guarantee. A classy FT though, with @ozzieowen taking the win, he also ran 2nd in Turbo & 5th in Quickdraw. Plenty of great scores on his CV, & curiously whilst he's only won the Sunday Major once, he's been 2nd 5 times. In a similar vein, @Tastysnack was 2nd, the same spot he occupied in it last week. @claudel9who won Monday's 7 @ 7 won his Summit seat in a £24 satellite & parlayed it into 3rd place & £662. 4th, 5th & 6th respectively were the usual suspects in the shape of @TIMBER@loololollo & @NChanning.
Got to feel for @jakeusss22who was heading for a personal best when Heads Up in 9 @ 9 only to run into HU end boss @benc.
In 7 @ 7, @Turner2403 got the prize (groan...), with @Cans4fun taking the opener.
@adair333 usually only plays 1 MTT per night, Reload, & does remarkably well, his results for the last 3 nights being 15th, 4th & now 1st. This was at least the 5th time he's won it.
Later in the evening, no surprises in Turbo ( @heddoh18 ) or Quickdraw ( @loololollo ) but less expected was victory by @mindy8 in MidEx although they do have a 2nd place in a Predator Main to their credit.
That's it for today. No televised football again tonight. International Breaks suck real bad."
With only minor domestic football on TV (sorry Bradford & Newport County) MTT numbers were not too bad, although there were misses in Turbo & MidEx.
There was a lovely win in the Main for Sky Poker veteran @craigyb22. From 29,500 games played over 15 years here just 3,000 were MTT's, for which his ABI was £4.78 with a very handsome ROI of 40%. It was bis best ever result on Sky Poker, & interestingly, his 2nd, 3rd & 4th best results were way back in 2015, 2012 & 2010 respectively. Perseverance is all. Runner-up was man-of-the-moment @newdaddy who you may recall won the Major 24 hours earlier. He 1-tabled both, so I guess he was playing on other site(s) at the same time.
The Mini went to @SENO who is a bit of a blast from the past. Not seen too much of them lately, but had two big wins in late 2015 - a £5,000 Turbo Open Main Event in December & an £8,000 BH Main in October. It was his 3rd or 4th Mini win.
@Arrogant seems to be in fine fettle at present & notched up a nice double - 7 @ 7 & Turbo.
Another who is currently at the top of his game is @PAPABURG who won the £800 BH, was 4th in the Main & 3rd in Turbo. As at yesterday - the 7th of the month - he's now notched up October victories in Sheriff, 9 @ 9, a £400 BH & last night's £800 BH. Surely heading for a bumper month unless the Gods of variance take umbrage.
It was Ladies first in the £1k Rebuy as @RogueCell took the win. Celebrated a birthday last month, I think it was her 29th, though my memory is a little unreliable these days.
@waspy77 is a very irregular visitor to the MTT streets & playing just their 8th MTT in 6 weeks secured 1st place in Mega, with @destinycod in 3rd. A little revenge there for @waspy77 as back in May of this year he beat everyone in an Avenger Main except @destinycod
It's a bit of a shame that we don't see so much of @NOSTRIthese days, probably only shows up about twice a week, but his Sharky graph is a beaut, & he added a little last night with 1st place in 9 @ 9. He's built up a very impressive portfolio of results when he was playing more regularly, including wins in Man Events (6 times), a £6k BH, a Mini Avenger, a Mini Major & a Sheriff.
@Drewman999 has made 2 Featured FT's this year - Reload in May & 9 @ 9 last month, and got his first win last night, taking Reload from @hhammerhea in 2nd & @235467 in 3rd.
The vast majority of play by @lucask is in Cash Games but he made a rare venture into MTT's last night and it ended well with 1st place in MidEx.
The 226 runner Elim Freeroll FT included a few familiar faces with 1st place going to serial winner @ILIKE2FISH. 2nd was @MynaFrett who was also 5th in last night's Mini & won a Mini two weeks ago. 4th was @StayOrGo with @Doubleme who won back-to-back 9 @ 9's a few days ago in 6th place.
That's about it for today. Tonight's MTT traffic should be OK, with the televised football "highlight" being the English Football League Trophy, whatever that is. It includes all manner of drab match-ups, but Grimsby Town v Lincoln City might be a bit feisty to make up for the appalling lack of quality.

Morning.
