On this day in 1957 none other than the Rt Hon Neil Channing
@senseichanning
was born. He's become one of the grand old gents of the UK poker scene & he's got the T-shirt & everything. Join us in wishing the old boy a very happy birthday.
We're so sad to hear of the passing of a true poker icon.
Mike's contribution to our industry is unrivalled and his incredible personality will be sorely missed. 😞
🥇CHAMPION!
Barry Grime is the 2019 Sky Poker Tour champion! 🏆

Apologies to the Sky Poker Ambassador Neil Channing
@senseichanning
. In wishing him happy birthday yesterday we inadvertently aged him by around 10 years. That's the trouble with judging a book by it's cover.
High drama in the UKOPS HR last night. It was Heads up between craigcu12 & Tedson, craig had a 2:1 chip lead, with ~£7,000 to 1st & ~£4,000 to 2nd. Craig then disco’d for 10 minutes, & so Tedson sat out until he returned. Tedson then went on take the win. Bravo Tedson, class act.
Well there's a thing,
@SenseiChanning
won last night's Sky Poker Turbo in a hack canter. Small beer really, but he's bred to stay 2 miles & the nightly Turbo is the poker equivelant of the Prix de l'Abbaye. Stallion duties await?

SPT Manchester took place over the weekend at
@235PokerLounge
and when the dust had settled it was the lovable rascal Ali Mallu who pocketed £14,000 after some business was agreed, plus he picked up a lovely trophy for the already crowded Mallu mantelpiece.
KRISPIN took last night's Main in fine style. The Turbo went to Neil Channing

A bunch of Sky Poker reprobates went to GUKPT Coventry & it looks like they had a ball. Note
@PBKRPoker
appears to have lost his shoes. Meanwhile back at Sky Poker, CHECK2YOU2 took Sharpshooter Main, & BooBooTheB won his third featured MTT in 24 hours.
Many congratulations to Shrimpy28 who won £1,500 from the Final Table Jackpot for finishing 2nd in both Avenger Main & Avenger Mini. Add in his prize money from the comps & he collected close to £3,000 in the session.

An outstanding 2 days for Danyo0, who won Monday's Marksman Mini & then followed up 24 hours later by winning the Gold-Rush Main. That was his 4th Main Event win in 2021. Add in 3 wins in the Mini & that's some year. Congrats Danyo0.
A 5-way deal was made.
Ming Ju - £17,500
Alex Jackson - £15,400
Kim Abramovici - £12,000
Simon Hemsworth - £11,000
Danny Grogan - £10,000
Shout out to Dan the Dealer! 🙂
Play continues to determine who's house the trophy goes to. 🏆

Quite a surprise in last night's Marksman Main with the win going to the hitherto unheralded goodwin02. MAKAKA took the Mini, Markycash the Mega & hot-shot Gambelo is the new Sheriff. And we take a look at a hand played by
@senseichanning
back in the day.
After a thrilling & surprisingly quick FT, chrisdonkb emerged as a deserving winner. He looks almost angelic in this photo, but he's not one to mess with at the poker table, he's a full-on Mean Machine. Popular winner though.
UKOPS Day 3 saw an extraordinary double by Jscorgie, winning both UKOPS 15 & 18, and that was a 24 hour UKOPS treble, as he won UKOPS 12 on Tuesday. No less impressive was aynaricol, winning the 440 runner UKOPS Mini, her biggest ever cash by a factor of 4

A very pleasant surprise to see The--Don win last night's Marksman Main for a best ever MTT result in 10+ years on Sky Poker. Primarily known as a winning cash game player & of advanced years, he is living proof that an old dog can still learn new tricks.

She wins a Samsung Galaxy tablet - to play lots of Sky Poker on, of course. 😉

has a few beginner tips to help you out.
Here he explains the oversized chip rule, a useful tip for any new player.
The nation was gripped by the splendid performance of Emma Raducanu over in New York, but life goes on in online poker & it was Rstinson97 who caught the eye on Sky Poker, winning Sharpshooter Main in fine style.

and all the details are here
Long term & popular Sky Poker MTT-er Wacko90 took last night's £8,000 Sharpshooter, which made over £13,000, with £2,150 going to our man. He came to Las Vegas with us in in 2019, seen here at the Welcome Party. He's the smart, well-presented one wearing proper clothes.
