"MTT traffic seemed fairly decent, just £39 of overlay amongst all the featured MTT's, quite surprising for a Monday at this time of year. Maybe it's a time of month thing. Also, two great Vegas Promos started yesterday, so maybe that helped, they bring folks to the site.
@Doubleme had a stunning night at the MTT tables. Won a satellite to the Main, then went on to win it & collect ~£930, nicked £10 in the Rewards Freeroll (34/687), won another £20 in the Elim Freeroll (7/272), and in fact was seriously close to FTJ money as in the Mini he was 10/246 & collected £28 for that too. In his tenth year on Sky Poker, historically splits his play 55% SNG's & 45% MTT's, with a very small amount of cash too. It was not his first Main Event win either, he won a Predator Main in July 2022 for a very similar amount. Seems to be reasonably profitable at every format, which is quite unusual. As I'm sure most will have noticed, he's what I would describe as an awkward shaped box, but we are all different & that's not necessarily a bad thing. Anyway, as he's already mentioned endlessly, a big win means he is going to buy his young lady an ice-making machine, which sounds really cool. Well done David. In 6th was @rainman215 who has had a great 24 hours as he was 3rd in the Major 24 hours earlier.
The Mini went to @Dennispok7of whom I know very little as e blocked on Sharky, but I can see from my own records that he won an Avenger Main in July 2020. Seems very profitable despite his low profile. Our old friend @zzgoose was runner-up, long time since we've seen him on the Forum, I hope he's OK.
@BillyPcklewon Turbo just 24 hours after booking his passage to Vegas.
The "A" did well again, with @addy791st in the £1k BH, @andyman999 winning the Rebuy version, & the increasingly prolific @Awoken taking Reload & 2nd in Quickdraw.
@Gman71 had a great session, 1st in 9 @ 9, 1st in a £400 BH that started 30 minutes later & 5th in MidEx.
Qualifying for the next Vegas Final (19th May) began with a Quarter Final where the three semi-final seats went to @HANSON@tai-gar & @HUGHMANSall three of whom would make great additions to the Vegas raiding party. @tai-gar was on fire, as he also won a Sunday Major seat in the Freeroll.
1st, 2nd & 3rd in the Vegas Elim Fr went to @sabre74@Kinda6677 & @SPRING29 but in the Leaderboard for Heads taken it was @Kinda6677 who came out on top with 14 heads, @sabre74 3rd with 9 heads & @SPRING29 5th with 7. Joint 2nd in the Leaderboard with 9 heads was @eon1961even though he "only" finished 12th."
The most glorious of evenings yesterday (weather-wise) which is usually the nut worst thing for Online Poker & so it proved. Overlay amounted to a nasty £1,615, with the £5k BH contributing £620, the Major £500, Mini £30, Reload £225, Quickdraw £120 & MidEx £120.
Even by the standards of the Major, it was an exceptionally high-class FT with the three podiumates having an average Sharky rating of over 93. The win went to @PokaBayb9 who was making his third Major FT in 6 months (1st, 4th & 5th) & his 2nd Major win. Best result was winning a UKOPS HR in 2021 for close to £6,000. A 31% ROI off an ABI of £57 says it all. Runner-up @destinycod has equally impressive stats with a 54% ROI off a £39 ABI. 3rd was @Hoff92. 4th 5th & 6th ( @ozzieowen@NFS3 & @style) all have the same Sharky rating of 85. That's a tough FT.
The Mini version went to @ego_death so he completes the rarely achieved 2025 Major/Mini Major double, as he won a Major in January. As far as I could see at a glance the nearest we got to FTJ money was @NChanningwho was 10th & 19th.
Although @GSmith13 could not quite close out Mega, he did win Sheriff for the 2nd time in 5 nights.
@smith1408 won a 9 @ 9 earlier this month & stepped up in class last night to take the £5k BH, which overlaid by a surprising £620. 5th was the troll-tastic @chipdiddy0with @NChanningin 6th. Incidentally, if Sports Betting interests you, & you want to get better at it, @NChanning & Nigel Seeley have a great series on You Tube called Betting Weekly Dojo, which you can peruse here....
@cabbazwas in dominant form later in the evening with a trio of successes - 1st in Turbo, 1st in Quickdraw & won himself a seat to SPT Glasgow. The SPT Glasgow semis were supposed to commence on Friday but that was cancelled due to lack of entries, ditto Saturday, so it was a bit of a relief to at last get the ball rolling last night.
The other Glasgow seat went to @sogenius who got in via a £12 satellite. He has a few decent scores on his CV including 1st in a Predator Main & 1st & 4th in the Sunday night £5k BH.
As is often the case @Fonzy180 played just 1 MTT last night, his much favoured £800 BH & he took 1st place, the second time he's won it this year.
2nd it 7 @ 7 one night last month,@Rxxaviuk went a spot better in 1st place last night. Bit of an odd alias & I'm not sure I could begin to guess what it might represent.
@MAGPIETYKEwon the Rebuy BH some 6 weeks after their last Featured MTT win a a 7 @ 7 last month. In a rather strange stat, 8 of their 12 biggest scores here all came in the latter half of 2021.
Entering the Winner's Enclosure for the very first time after 456 attempts, @scott20920 broke their duck in the 9 @ 9 with @snoxx11 2nd @Jeni82 3rd &@BooBooTheB5th.
Even better (arguably) @joanne1964won Reload, breaking their duck after 5,500 attempts, although has made the Reload FT on two previous occasions. Bet joanne feels great this morning.
4 months almost to the day since last winning MidEx @Cammykaze did it again.

Morning.
The most glorious of evenings yesterday (weather-wise) which is usually the nut worst thing for Online Poker & so it proved. Overlay amounted to a nasty £1,615, with the £5k BH contributing £620, the Major £500, Mini £30, Reload £225, Quickdraw £120 & MidEx £120.

In fact @ego_death completed another double, as in addition to the Mini Major he won Mega. Think we can say with some confidence that there has never been a tougher Mega FT than last night, the top 6 being @ego_death @chalky666 @loolollol @Gsmith13 @Super_Oli & @destinycod
Although @GSmith13 could not quite close out Mega, he did win Sheriff for the 2nd time in 5 nights.
@smith1408 won a 9 @ 9 earlier this month & stepped up in class last night to take the £5k BH, which overlaid by a surprising £620. 5th was the troll-tastic @chipdiddy0 with @NChanning in 6th.
