Morning.
A fairly normal Monday for MTT traffic. The weekend had been adversely affected by GUKPT Manchester so it was pleasing to see traffic back to expected levels.
In sport it was a fascinating day. In the Test match, England absolutely threw it away. Going into Day 5 in a strong position, they were out thought, out played & out hustled. In particular, Root's ability as a Captain was in the headlights, & boy oh boy he failed big time. Great batsman, shocking Captain, & it's time to give someone else a try. It really was extraordinary how India dominated us. In Kohli, they have a Captain who knows every trick in the book & is not scared to use them, even though some are a little edgy. For me, he's the absolute GOAT.
Meanwhile, in the usually more genteel surroundings of snooker, there was a humdinger of a match between ex-partners Mark Allen & 12 times Ladies Champion Reanne Evans. Mark Allen won the match & moral high ground big time. Disappointed to see Reanne snub the offered fist bump before & after the match & then claim afterwards in her interview that it was due to COVID protocols. Utter BS. She's a mean machine & not a very nice person imo. However, she is terrific box office, with amazingly expressive body language, gurns for England, & cuts a powerful looking image in her snooker gear. Very good player too. I look forward to watching more of her, she's definitely a fun watch & will no doubt enliven this year's snooker scene.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£994)
After winning a MidEx over the weekend, bearlyther made a quick return to the winner's enclosure when taking 7 @ 7. It was the start of what was to prove a very successful evening, as we shall see.
Squeezey8 won Sunday's Turbo in fine style & then ran 4th here.

Shrimpy is currently rampant. Technically, this was his third Featured MTT win in two nights, (MidEx, Mega & £1k BH) but even on a worst-case scenario it's three wins in three nights. (It depends what day you count for MixEx). The big fella is currently on a diet and has lost 8lb in three weeks, not easy when he spends his working life cooking food. Really pleased for him.
Quite a top three too, with anjie1970 second & cabbaz third.

And here's another three day hat-trick, this time for bearlyther, who took a weekend MidEx & last night's 7 @ 7 before taking the Main too. Just over 55% of his games are DYM's where he's amongst the most profitable players on the site - 5.5% ROI BEFORE Rewards Money is extremely good. However, 90% of his profit comes from MTT's. Rare to see a player equally good at both disciplines. He must have been running super-hot last night, as on top of winning 7 @ 7 & the Main, he won THREE satellites to Sheriff, two of which were "All-Ins". That's serious run-good. Must be a proper pain to play against.
Our man Shrimpy continued to prosper, 3rd here after winning the £1k BH. Only three head Prizes though, so gets a nomination for the @NOSTRI Trophy.
Recent Sheriff winner BarrattG1 was fourth, including seven head prizes.

£1,500 Mini Marksman (£1,620)
nagrom took the Mini. Has the unusual distinction of having won UKOPS events at the last two renewals - Xmas & Easter.
Daily Forum Comp regular pstoney played 4 All-In satellites to the Main without any luck, paid into the Main anyway & finished down the field but got his money back & more thanks to a 3rd place finish here.
@NOSTRI was 3rd in last week's MML & used his free Mini entry last night, finishing an impressive 128th. Anyone care to guess how many head prizes he took?

£1,000 Mega Stack B/Hunter (£1,360)
cabbaz had a very fine session, 3rd in the £1k BH, winning Mega, 5th in Sheriff & then won a last night £300 BH by way of an encore.
GELDY was runner-up with Makaka 6th.
In third was The--Don, who won a Main & MidEx last week, & then cashed in 3 of the 5 MTT's he played last night. He's playing so well & running so hot he'll almost certainly announce very shortly that's going going to quit Sky Poker MTT's & go play the cash games on Unibet. When the word "contrary" was invented, it was The--Don they had in mind.

£1,500 Sheriff Bounty Hunter (£2,000)
What a CV Super_Oli has. Since early July alone, he's won Sheriff, Quickdraw (twice), Mega, 31k BH (twice) & MidEx, plus any number of final tables.
4th was @PKRPar but no head prizes means he wins the @NOSTRI trophy for the night, which @Shrimpy looked nailed on for.

£1,500 Reload Rebuy B/Hunter (£1,602)
Dimm1981 plays exactly one MTT per night, every night - Reload - and he won it last night. Excellent.
After a two week sabbatical, spearsy returned & this was one of three FT's he made in the session.

seikus played a 15 MTT session & looked like coming up dry until he saved the session by winning Quicky.
Another tough FT, with Arrogant 2nd, RCord 4th, BooBoo 5th & StayOrGo 6th.

£1,000 Midnight Express B/Hunter (£1,200)
huttykj has played less than 50 MTT's here, and registered their first result with a min-cash in Sunday's Mini Major before going on to win last night's MidEx.
This was the 5th MTT & 3rd FT for The--Don last night, so that confirms he'll go definitely play something different now. That's just how he rolls.

A double on the night including the Main, so it goes to....
@bearlyther
An old classic today - Squeeze & Cool For Cats. Listen to the opening bars & you are hooked.
Next time I’m mentioned hopefully top of the podium
Good result that, 3rd in Mini, but yeah, be good to see you top of the pile soon.
