A pleasing start to the 2024 Autumn UKOPS with all 7 events beating guarantees, & prize pools coming in at £60,380, which is some 26% above guarantee.
I'll do the reviews "UKOPS" style, event by event, but I must offer my congrats to @chrisdonkb who had back-to-back wins in Events 5 & 6. The Leaderboard will be published later today, & presumably he'll be sitting in pole position after Day 1.
A lovely start with the opener going to @PRhack93 who also ran deep (8th) in the High Roller, & it comes just over a fortnight since he won a Predator Main. Has a stellar CV which includes wins in 2 Sunday Majors, 2 x BWBH, half a dozen Summits & 2 Avenger Mains, but somewhat surprisingly, this was his first ever UKOPS win as far as I can see.
2nd was @chkngeorge who, as regular readers will know, has been moving up the stakes recently with considerable success. 2nd in Event 1, 3rd in Event 7, & he warmed up for the session by winning a 6pm £500 BH. It takes some doing to shift a Sharky graph sharply northwards after 16,000 games but that's what he's done, & he now boasts a stunning 50% ROI over a reasonable sample size.

This was the first "High Roller" & we saw a bit of a surprise winner in @mp561030 who has been here 4 years but played less than 100 games. Won his seat in a £48 satellite & ended up collecting a very useful £4,234. That's his biggest win by a distance, in fact prior to last night, his 10 biggest wins were all Satellites. Runner-up was @KRISPIN who was playing his first MTT here since 2nd August, so just shy of 3 months. As you'd expect in a £220 affair on Sky Poker, the FT had quality everywhere, with the other cashees being @Swog@SoLack@Limp2Lose & @Curt360x27
This was the Day 1 "Main" with the top spot going to SPT regular @stack_u. Plays all the SPT's but very rarely plays online MTT's here, in fact less than 20 this year, just half a dozen since the Spring, & the first for 6 weeks. Only played 2 events last night - High Roller & Main. Not his maiden UKOPS win by any means, and past UKOPS conquests include a 2022 UKOPS High Roller. Biggest score all time though was a boomlet Sunday Major in 2020 for which he pocketed over £7,500. In 4th was @LordKins who later ran 3rd in Event 6. In 6th was @Ramoerrr who won a Mega earlier this week.

Mini winner was @donovan13who has been here 9 years but it very low volume, mainly cash plus around 37 MTT's "lifetime". Only played 2 events last night (01 & 04) & these were his first MTT's here since late September. The notorious @gobbleoff was 3rd. Seems to be going the right way, with his best score being 2nd in a Major earlier this year for around £2,000. 5th was @claudel9 who in recent months has won two Mains. Taking a break from playing golf every other day & going away on holiday every fortnight was @Jac35 in 6th.

UKOPS 05 was leg 1 of the @chrisdonkb win double, as he won Event 6 too. Not much I can tell you about Chris that you don't already know, though I do believe he's the only "dual" SPT winner. Looks about 45 years old but I gather he's barely 40. Loathe to BSUHA but a genuinely decent guy who is a credit to the game. Wish I could say the same about runner-up @waller02. Bear with me whilst I try & think of something nice to say about him. I am quite sure @MynaFrett will have been suitably pleased with 5th place. In 4th was @Summers119 who also ran 5th in 7 @ 7.

Leg 2 of the @chrisdonkb win double. 2nd was @Bensons22 who won a Turbo around 2 weeks ago with @LordKins, who ran 4th in the Main, going a spot better here. The very highly rated @FlynTimberwas 4th, with @mnolan8317 who was 2nd in a recent Major, in 5th & His CodNess @destinycod in 6th. Tough FT that.
The Day 1 closer went to the very accomplished @Froozle. Won a UKOPS Main in 2021 for well over £5,000, & has tasted victory in at least 3 Sunday Majors. 3rd was @chkngeorge who we mentioned earlier after he ran 2nd in the opener, with @tonyp142 in 6th, pretty sure he'll do well over the rest of the Series.
