"Monday Night Football (Spurs v Fulham) dampened numbers somewhat last night as expected, with the Main coming in at £5,400 (same day last year £5,130, though the guarantee then was £4,000, compared to £5,000 now). We have Champions League football tonight & tomorrow, & Europa stuff on Thursday, so expect more of the same. Then of course, UKOPS starts on Friday, oioi.
@Rashnikov won the Main, the 2nd time he's done so in 6 weeks. It was his 2nd best cash all-time, beaten only by £2,200 for runner-up in the Major back in January. Last night's result took him over the £10,000 profit mark according to Sharky. Runner-up was @BigDanewho won Sunday's £1k BH. Yesterday I mentioned that Sky Poker newbie @Panda8 was one to keep an eye on, & he was 3rd, as well as 6th in Turbo.
After a near miss last Thursday in the Mini @bigeaz001 got it spot on last night & got his win. @TheEdge949 had just £4 in his account so spun it up in a £2 DYM, regged the Mini & ran 5th for over £60. The money we win & lose at poker is all relative, & in the circumstances, £60 is huge. @Telmison74 was 6th in what was their first MTT since the same MTT last week. Incidentally, on this day last year @splashies won this, but seems to have gone AWOL since June of this year. Anyone heard from him? Hope he's OK.
@235467 just seems to keep getting better & better, & he had a win double last night, taking both Mega & Turbo. He was also 4th in the £1k BH, 8th in 7 @ 7 & 9th in the Elim Fr. He currently sits 4th in the Elim Fr Leaderboard so is in line for at least £550 of UKOPS entries if he can hang on for a few more days.
The Sharky graph of @gogogadget is rising ever steeper, & he took last night's Reload, just two weeks after winning a Gold Rush Mini. He won a Gold Rush Main in May too.
MidEx went the way of @Thoich who only returned recently from a 4 month hiatus. Probably warming up for UKOPS in which he has a solid record with 4 titles so far.
@Tsaaaarhad a busy session & was mostly firing blanks but 1st place in the Rebuy BH earned him £270 & a very profitable sesh.
Finally, @oynutter aka Floppa Woppa won one of the FTT's. Great to see he's still around, hopefully he's still as mad as he always was."
Overall an OK night for MTT traffic, with real "winter numbers" in Rebuy BH, Sheriff & Quickdraw, all of which have £1k Guarantees but which made £1,805, £1,900 & £1,560 respectively. Annoying & surprisingly, once again Reload missed though, that's 3 or 4 nights on the bounce, coming in £99 shy last night.
Playing on Sky Poker for the very first time in 14 months, @Zidane sprung something of a surprise by winning the Major. Has played just two dozen games in their 18 months here, almost all of them Sunday Majors, (has an ABI of £84) though did also play the Mini last night. As usually the case with the Major it was a strong FT & @Zidane was chased home by @pooochy@StayOrGo@SoLack@hasthenuts& @loosecamel. @Style was a little unfortunate to finish 7th as he made the FT of the Mini, so narrowly missed out on FTJ cash. Incidentally, I noticed that 6th placed @loosecamel won TWO seats to the Major via Semi Finals, so that all worked out rather pleasingly for him.
Exactly 4 Sundays ago @SQUIRE82 came up one spot short in the Mini Major, so winning it last night must have tasted real sweet. It's their third Mini Major FT in 4 or 5 months. As Mini FT's go, it was surely just about the toughest we've seen all year as @SQUIRE82 was followed home by @Thoich@Froozle@jawzindawz@style & @Tedsonrespectively.
@Kahuna96is going from strength to strength & took down the £5k BH, that's their 9th best result all-time in a very decent portfolio of results which includes winning Avenger Main twice.
@alancarr12 took time off from bashing up everyone on the cash tables to bash everyone up in Sheriff. MTT Regulars must be pleased he rarely plays MTT's, he has a 47% ROI at an ABI of £66. Best avoided I'd say. @chkngeorgecontinues to impress as he transitions from small stakes stuff to £110 buy-ins & ran 3rd, then later in the evening he was 5th in Turbo.
For the 3rd time this year, @ironpump won 9 @ 9. Has some solid scores on his CV including £4,500+ for a boomlet Major in 2021. 2nd was @Panda8 returning after a 5 day absence, they were also 5th in Mega & won an early evening £300 Rebuy.
In what is fast becoming a typical night for @GFKIJKLL he had two wins - Mega & MidEx, plus a 4th in Quickdraw.
@Tikirhackahas made the Reload FT 3 times prior to last night but he got it right this time & booked his maiden Featured MTT win on what was his first & only MTT for a week.
@rutherfo08made it a 2024 hat-trick of wins by taking Quickdraw, having previously won the £800 BH & 9 @ 9.
@zzgoose only played one MTT last night, the £800 BH, & took the win, so that was all very efficient.
@pappa1949 - I wonder if that means he's 75? - won a Mini Hitman earlier this year, & was back in the winner's circle last night in 7 @ 7.
Rebuy BH went to @mnolan8317 who has a 93 Sharky rating largely thanks to winning the Major three times.
In the Elim Freeroll @phillips58 screwed them all to come out on top, which was enough to propel him to the top of the Leaderboard, and there were strong showings by @rabdeniro (2nd) @gixxerk4 (4th) &@leeahick26 (5th).
Finally, @skicowboys won the PLo8 for the 783rd time. Approx.
Be interesting to see how traffic fares this week. Forest v Palace is on TV tonight, then 2 nights of Champions League - including Arteta's Army -Europa stuff on Thursday, & a PL grudge match on Friday featuring Leicester & Forest. That lot will test the Poker traffic for sure.
I played three tournaments and the same pesky scamp knocked me out of all three. Not sure that has ever happened to me before. He had the cheek to have the best hand in all three.
