Afternoon.
Hitman Main hit it's highest number for a month, and traffic generally was not too bad.
I'm told that the Ryder Cup Opening Ceremony was every bit as bad as predicted, & now that's over, the oh-so predictable sound-bites are being trotted out.
"Friday's opening match of the Ryder Cup is "big for both sides" said Padraig Harrington"
"American captain Steve Stricker, who is using four of his six debutants in the opening session, says he feels "great" about his pairings."Compelling reading...
Honestly, I love golf to bits, but all this hype drives me nuts.
And if you thought it could not get any more hyped, Steve Stricker piped his eye during his speech. FFS.

£1,000 Bounty Hunter (£1,040)
AlexaAJ must have gone nuts in this, 52 entries & he took 14 head prizes, more than the the rest of the FT combined.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the scale, Uncle Ungo ran 2nd without taking a single bounty. That's a neat trick.
Mr Bates was 4th with His Swogness in 6th.

£5,000 Hitman Bounty Hunter (£6,120)
humberfish made it a hat-trick of Main Event wins - Marksman, Hitman & Avenger - inside two years. Won a Xmas UKOPS Rebuy too.
Super_Oli, fresh from a Turbo win two nights earlier, was runner-up with IamAll_En 4th
Cammykaze was 5th & followed that with 6th in Turbo, an excellent night for him.
Jscorgie, who has won both the Sunday Major & BWBH in the last few weeks was 6th.

£1,500 Mini Hitman (£1,620)
In winning the Mini, LCLDRINKER makes his debut in the Results Threads, well done.
2nd was BooBoo.
There was a hat-trick of fish on the FT - humberfish 4th, Kuttlefish 5th & bigfatfish 6th.
And keen eyes would by now have spotted that humberfish won the Main & was 4th in the Mini so gets a lovely £750 slice of the Final Table Jackpot pie. Very well done humberfish.
Extraordinary how there has been a FTJ payout two nights in a row now, £5,000 on Wednesday & £750 last night.

£1,000 Mega Stack B/Hunter (£1,220)
A hot Mega last night, with Jscorgie, who is proper big-time these days, getting the nod ahead of Makaka, another member of Team Serious.
In 6th was CT501. Anyone remember Craig Tranter from back in the day? Can't recall his alias now (it was not CT501), though I certainly remember him well.

£1,500 Reload Rebuy B/Hunter (£1,599)
A good session for the splendidly monikered Drmayo, winning Reload, 4th in a £300 Rebuy BH earlier, & stayed past midnight to nick £1 in a £20 Freeroll. Proper keen, that.

£1,500 Turbo Bounty Hunter (£1,500)
Shrimpy28 seems to cash for fun these days & he won Turbo for the 2nd time in 8 nights. His Sharky graph is looking delish.
Not an easy renewal either, with Crushy, SwannLol & PRHack all there or thereabouts.

Only 5th in Turbo, but PRhack93 made amends by taking Quicky, with Mody doing extremely well to run 2nd.

£1,000 Midnight Express B/Hunter (£1,300)
In taking MidEx, 6158jeff21 - an unnecessarily complicated alias one feels - took 15 heads. When he wins he seems to be a real head basher, he took 25 heads when winning Gold Rush Mini early last month.

1st in the Main, 4th in the Mini & £740 from the FTJ makes it an easy decision today.

In other news...
30 players from 127 entries survived Day 1A of GUKPT Leeds, including at least one of our crew, DestinyCod.
I was cut to the quick yesterday when my music choice was described as "dirge".
So something extra special today. Criticise this & you are dead to me.
