Morning.
This day last year
"Not a good night really, 4 of the 6 UKOPS jobbies missed guarantee. However, cash action more than made up for it, so that'll do. Cash game action always spikes during UKOPS, but it's been particularly strong this time around.
Last night's party started with a Rebuy which was won by @FlynTimber. Been here 8 years & was a small loser for the first 7 years, but has improved spectacularly in the last 12 months with a series of big wins including Summit & BWBH, plus 2nd in a Major & 3rd in the £30,000 UKOPS Main this time last year. 2nd was @2Geronimo which struck me as a vey good result indeed.
In the Main, @PKRPar secured his 2nd win of the series, having already won the Rebuy on Day 1. Those two wins were worth over £5,500 which is decent money by any standards. Well done Mr Dour. @Doooobs told me he planned to win a UKOPS this Xmas & was very nearly proven right, as he ran 2nd here. There's still tonight though, so don't count him out. In 4th was @BRADERS11 which was worth £1,100, his 2nd best result ever here, beaten only by winning very big Sheriff a few years ago.
It would be a surprise if @Arrogant went though UKOPS without a big result, & he duly took down last night's Mini. It so nearly went to @RogueCell but she had to settle for 2nd & a very useful £600, a great result for her.
@Jscorgie is another who was strongly fancied for a result or two & he took last night's Mega, that's 3 Finals now as he was 5th in UKOPS 18 & 4th in UKOPS 06. Runner-up @Han94x went down fighting but took defeat well as always.
@235467 made it two UKOPS wins in 2 months, adding last night's Turbo to the UKOPS Mega he took down in October. Boring Bloke @mattprawn was 2nd with @StayOrGo in 3rd.
Quite a surprise in the closer as @suitedjock took the win. The last time he played an MTT on Sky Poker? 26th November 2013, 9 long years ago. I was still a young man then."

We start today with a bit of deja vu. If you read "This Day last year" (previous post) you'll know that 4 of the 6 Day 3 UKOPS events missed last time round, & last night history repeated itself, with 4 from 6 missing again. Xmas UKOPS are a tough gig for players & site alike it seems.
The evening began with the UKOPS 14 Rebuy, which went to @Natnug. It was worth £1,425 to him, & was his 2nd four-figure score of the Series, as he was runner-up in the Day 2 Main for nearly £2,000. Two wins on the night too, as he won the 6pm £500 BH too. Mr Channing @NChanning has been knocking on the UKOPS door & was 3rd, then later in the evening he ran 5th in UKOPS 18. In 4th was @spearsy136 which was his best score for some time. He has some very useful form in the book let's not forget, including 2nd in a monster-sized Avenger Main during Boomlet which netted him well over £2,000. In 5th was @UnEuropean who surely has the "Most Consistent" Award tied up already, having now made FIVE FT's this series, finishing 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th & 6th. If there's a poker God he'll manage a 1st & a 3rd tonight.
Before we move on, just a quick nod in the direction of the winner @Natnug who will, tomorrow night, be officially crowned "Most successful Sky Poker MTT-er in 2023", the 2nd straight year he'll have finished top. Interesting & very pleasant individual until he gets seated on your table, whereupon he grows horns & becomes seriously unamenable. He really is not at all nice when he has cards in front of him. Not intentional, he can't help it, he's just ferociously competitive. And very good at the pokers.
Next up was the Day 3 Main which fell to @loololollo. Interestingly, as I was just waffling on about "Most profitable MTT-er on Sky Poker in 2023", he'll finish 2nd in that Leaderboard for the 2nd straight year. In fact, how about this for his record in the last 7 years - starting in 2017, he's finished 1st, 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 2nd & 2nd. Stunning stuff. If Sky Poker held New Years Honours Lists, he'd surely be a Sir or something. Back to last night's UKOPS Main, quite a surprise in 2nd as @sharp1984 playing for only the 2nd time since May, & single-tabling, ran 2nd for over £1,900, surely a PB. The ever consistent @Fabraclass & @podraic were 3rd & 4th, with @Swog in 6th.
Next up was the £5,000 Mini & there were no shortage of runners here, coming in at a handsome £6,740. @STEAMI was playing for the first time in a fortnight, & made 5 attempts to satellite into the Main, bricking all 5 - only to then go & win the Mini & take home over £1,000. 2nd was @Upswing, his 2nd FT as he ran 4th in UKOPS 11 the previous night. In 4th was @Gambelo has only played a very light schedule this time around, but managed three FT's, finishing 2nd, 3rd & 4th. In 5th was @bakersdoze, this was his third FT of the Series as he'd already managed a 2nd & a 6th.
UKOPS 17, the Mega, went to Mini-specialist @duonross, who was 6th in he Day 2 Main. 2nd was a huge result for @eskie, playing here for only the 8th time in nearly 2 months. 3rd was @Itsover4u who has now had 4 FT finishes in this series, finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 5th. @Angmar2626 was 5th with @mainspring in 6th.
@roddy28 took UKOPS 18, his 2nd win of the Series, in addition to a runner-up spot in UKOPS 10. In the previous Series in November he was 2nd in the Main for north of £6,000. 2nd was @jakescol with @NChanning 5th & @UnEuropean 6th.
There was a wonderful finale to the evening as @River_Fox took the closer. Played almost 12,000 games here & it was not their all-time biggest win, that was a £4k BH back in 2014, but not far off. @ozzieowen was 2nd, @UnEuropean 5th & FI fanatic @peter27 6th.
That's it for today, back tomorrow, same time same place to see who won what in the concluding Day 4.
