    The UKOPS 2Mini has now exceeded it's Guarantee, with Late Reg still open, & still plenty of time for Rebuys & the Add-On.

    .....and the UKOPS 2 Main is now north of the Guarantee, with 25 mins of Late Reg, & plenty of time for Rebuys & the Add-On.

    That's the double hat-trick.

    Good luck all.

    I'll Post the final Prize Pools up later.

    The only thing we can conclude from 2 triple BOOMs in 2 days is that Sky is too stingy with the guarantees. ;)

    If rebuy is for 2 hours and I haven't yet - why can I not rebuy now?? Do you have to go below starting stack?

    Sorry Phil, I don't know the answer to that.
     
    I had assumed you could rebuy at ANY time (I know you could Rebuy when it began), but maybe I was wrong.
     
    PS - Make sure you don't miss the 10,000 Chip Add-On!

    The UKOPS 2 Mini looks like it had.....

    386 runners

    180 REbuys

    133 Add-Ons.

    So, that comes to about £3,495, almost £1,000 over Guarantee. 

    Winner will get a whopping £873.75.

    Was that the analyst/Poker legend Ian Frazer taking part in UKOPS Tikay?
    Nice to see him on the site, if it was

    Hi Dosh,

    Well I saw the screen-name "IanFrazer" in the Main tonight, though I don't know for sure if that was Ian. I've not seen him for ages actually - he's got a new yacht I think, probs spent the summer on that. What a life, eh?

    If he plays the other UKOPS Events, we might see Toby Lewis too, as they are closely connected via family.

    Here's the final numbers for UKOPS 2.

    MAIN - 237 runners, 80 rebuys, 76 Add-Ons, so that's £19,650. First Prize is £5,305.

    MINI - 386 runners, 180 rebuys, 133 Add-Ons, so that's £3,495 I think. Winner gets £873.75.

    SIDEY - 71 runners = £7,100. Don't know what the winner will get, as it is a BH, but the Prize Pool part awards £994, & the Head Prizes will add several hundo to that.
     
    In all, tonight's Prize Pools totalled £30,245, & attracted 694 runners.

    I have a fairly severe grievance with regards to the payout structure of this tournament. After rebuying the maximum amount, I will make a losses of ~£2 if I mincash this event. If it was a bounty hunter, I could kind of be on board with that, but it is completely unacceptable that in a standard holdem format tournament, I will make a loss when I cash. 

    And please, while I understand people who have qualified for less and didnt rebuy will have a much better cash - this is not relevant. I can exercise the option to rebuy the maximum number of times and expect to make money, not lose money.

    I completely understand your point, however it would only really stand up if every single player used the maximum re-buys and addons and this was the case, or..... if you were to calculate the average total buyin across the entire field and that this figure was less than the min cash?

    Anyway..... I said earlier that I'd have a go at putting together an un-official UKOPS league so I've been playing with Excel since I bust out of tonights tourneys.  The entire spreadsheet is too big to post on here but it basically calculates the percentage of the total field beaten in each or the 3 nightly UKOPS tournaments, therefore giving a maximum score of 100 per tournament.  I've limited it to just those players that cash in each tournament.  If people think it's worth carrying on with, I'll start a new thread and update it every day.

    Here are the results so far after Day Two: <td class="xl65" style="border-bottom:windowtext 0.5pt solid;border-left:windowtext;background-color:transparent;border-top:windowtext;border-right:windowtext 0.5pt s

    I've updated the UKOPS league thingy above after tonights results, it's insane how good RUNITSRANN is doing!

    Please let me have comments as to if it's worth carrying on with.

    Hi Simon,

    I really enjoyed perusing that "Leaderboard" & definitely think it would be interesting if it continued right through UKOPS.
     
    Probably best to start it's "own" Thread though, as the Update Threads I do are just daily jobbies.

    Another terrific UKOPS night.

    UKOPS 2 Main was won by long-time regular & Tourney veteran on Sky Poker, LCROC22, who netted £5,305.50.

    UKOPS 2 Mini (£873.75) went to "jamie167", a small-stakes regular on Sky Poker.

    UKOPS 2 Sidey (£1,335) went to the always impressive Scot, James Rann, aka "RUNITSRANN". James has been a long-term winner on Sky Poker, but he's on fire this week, with 4 UKOPS cashes already.
     
    Well done to the 3 winners, & to everyone who cashed.

    A quick word or two about RUNITSRANN.
     
    If Sharkscope is to be believed, his UKOPS record so far this week reads like this....


    UKOPS 1 MAIN (Sunday), 2nd of 308, £2,880. 

    UKOPS 1 SIDEY (Sunday), 8th of 69, £235. 

    UKOPS 2 MAIN, (Monday), 3rd of 237, £2,008. 

    UKOPS 2 SIDEY (Monday), 1st of 71, £1,224.
      
    He played both Mini's, too, but blanked both of them. Hopeless......
