Pete Hegseth, who Trump has appointed as Secretary of Defence. Within days of his controversial appointment, he put his foot in it yesterday big-time. By "trade", he's a TV Presenter. He may actually have less self-awareness than Trump, which really would be astounding.
"MTT traffic was probably somewhere near expectations last night, one small miss, & a few above their run-rate.
@Steed432has fairly modest volume, maybe around 50 MTT's this year, but in taking last night's Major was winning his third £100 event in 2024, having already tasted victory in both Summit & BWBH. In all he has won eight £100-ers, though last night's 1st prize of £3,444 is his biggest to date. Sharky rate him 94, perhaps partly influenced by a £45 ABI, but he's clearly a bit handy. Runner-up @Doooobsis another we have not seen much of this year, he has a growing family so I guess it gets awkward at times. It was by some way his best score this year. Has 20 or 30 4-figure scores to his credit, the best of which was a boomlet UKOPS High Roller for which he collected over £8,000. With the WSOP schedule just announced, he'll likely be looking to go play the PLO8 & Omaha Mix I would imagine, he does very well or there. 3rd was @alancarr12 who is perhaps better known for his cash game adventures, though I noted with interest that Sharky say his MTT ABI on Sky Poker is £112. Yikes.
The Mini Major went to @podraic who is exceptionally high volume - 6th highest so far on Sky Poker in 2024.
Our Upper Case friend @GFKIJKLL had a thoroughly splendid session with three good victories - the £6k BH, Sheriff & Quickdraw. Collectively, those three wins were worth around £2,000 which is decent money to most of us but he seems to do very well so I don't suppose he's over-excited. MBN & all that.
@iftalot has not been here long & only played ~150 MTT's but is going along nicely, already had wins in Mini Major & Reload, & added MidEx last night.
Reload went to @millys who won MidEx twice in the space of a few weeks last Spring.
Two more seats to SPT Brighton were won, with @Morris707 getting his first & @__Assassinhis second. Brighton SPT seems to be building nicely, with quite a bit of interest, certainly more than usual if I'm not mistaken."
Sunday, things to do, so will need to exercise a degree of brevity.
Traffic was "so-so" with only Sheriff missing g'tee, & that by just one entry. Rather oddly, there were not any rebuys in it, the first time I can recall that.
Bit of a surprise in the Main as @abhouston did not have a problem & roared to the win. Usually does OK in the £1k Rebuy BH & made the FT of that as recently as last Sunday. Was a bit of an odd day for him really, as he was on site most of the day, won a £2.20 entry £100 guaranteed DeepStack that started early afternoon, & then almost 12 hours later won the Main, which was his biggest buy-in of the day, & by some distance. 2nd was@TheShrew87 who has only been here a few months & so far played just 45 MTT's, despite which this was his third Main Event FT this year, although the other two were both Predators. Might be one to keep an eye on.
Prior to last night @Hawkinni had made 5 Mini FT's in 2025, more than anyone else, & he extended that to 6 last night. In 2nd was @FlynTimber who can do little wrong at present. On Thursday he won the Main & was 6th in the Mini, he won Friday's BWBH, & he came close to his 2nd FTJ in three nights last night when 2nd in Mini & 20th in Main. Pleased to see @SilverRiz make the FT. Yesterday he donated one of his MML free entries to @mumsie, which several others have done recently. Can't think of any other poker site where that would happen, & whilst I completely get the decision to close the Community Forum in a few month's time, it is a little sad. Must make mention of @JackRCrapwho is suddenly making FT's for fun. 3rd in last night's Mini, 2nd in the Rebuy BH, 4th in 7 @ 7 & won a £33 Main event seat for £7.20 in a satellite. This came exactly one week after he won last week's Sharpshooter Mini & if we delve a little deeper, in late 2023 he was 3rd in the Major & won a Quickdraw in the space of 4 days.
@HONEYBUSH played exactly one MTT last night - the £800 BH - & won it. Has been in decent form of late, including 6th in Reload on Thursday.
The 7 @ 7 went to a player with 9 letters but no vowels in their Alias, I can't say it never mind spell it, & they have absented themself from Sharky, so I think I'll say no more.
@same1 who was playing just their 5th MTT of 2025 took the Rebuy BH, their maiden Featured MTT win as far as I can see.
9 @ 9 went to @mills17 but he's another who has absented himself from Sharky, so we'll respect his privacy & leave it at that.
@TOPDOG1 lived up to his name last night & won Reload. Is a Reload season ticket holder, but I don't recall him ever winning it before.
In the Brighton semi, seats went to F1 expert @peter27 & @destinycod, so that's 2 worthy additions. I noticed @wineli was 3rd for £50 so that's good news as it suggests he'll be at Brighton. He's such a great guy, always good to see him.
That's it for today. Somewhat brief, but it's Sunday & all that.
