Black Belt Poker League 13

UK Poker — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 07:45:24 +0000

The Black Belt Poker League returns this Tuesday for its first outing of the new year. The final digit in the date may have changed, but the value at Black Belt Poker continues to deliver as we serve up our usual dose of bonuses and rewards.
This time around, we’re offering four lucky players the chance to play a Black Belt Live event and echo the achievements of Nottingham Live champion Stuart Hyson who won $15,500 when he captured the title at Dust Till Dawn.
In 2012, we plan to host three Black Belt Live events, and if you finish in the top three of League XIII, you will receive free entry into a Main Event of your choosing, wherever the venue may be. In addition, the overall Champion will earn himself a personalised Black Belt Poker hoodie, as well as all the bragging rights he can handle.

Black Belt Poker Nottingham Live 2011

UK Poker — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 20:15:37 +0000

After the success of Black Belt Poker’s London Live event earlier in the year, they have decided to run another event. This time (and probably due to popular demand), the event will take place outside of London, in the popular destination of Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham.

Players can only register to play through the site. So if you are thinking of playing then sign up to Black Belt Poker and use referral code zartog and receive 100 belt points and also a 3x belt boost when you make a deposit.

Despite there being a smaller buy-in of only $125+15, they have decided to again add value by adding a bounty to several heads to the tune of $250. The names of these bounties is yet to be announced, but you can be certain that it will include the likes of UKIPT Cork winner Sam Razavi, Richard Ashby and Mr Neil Channing himself.

So what are the details I hear you ask?

Buy-in $125 +15

Date - 18-20 November $50k GTD

If the buy-in is a little high for your bankroll, then why not try one of the weekly satellites on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 8.30pm. For as little as $3, you can secure your seat into the Main Event.

But wait… not only is there going to be $250 bounties on some players heads, there will also be added value if you are a higher level belt player.

Vegas Freeroll on Black Belt Poker

UK Poker — Thu, 05 May 2011 00:37:04 +0000

**Referral code is zartog**

Black Belt Poker truly is a great value poker site. How many other sites are giving away a freeroll to a WSOP Vegas package?

Ok the deal was for players on Black Belt Poker that played in Black Belt Poker Live and retained their Orange belt or higher were given a token to be able to enter in to the freeroll tournament.

9PM BST on May the 4^th saw the Black Belt Poker Vegas freeroll for anyone that was Orange belt for the event and then retained their orange belt or higher at the end of April. 57 lucky players began the game at 9pm BST and only 1 could win the WSOP package.

It wasn’t long before players began to fall, as some players were going for the all or nothing approach early in the game it seemed. Some wild play by some people and some and some lucky cards hit the deck.

I was in the game myself and at one point was in first place, but it wasn’t to be my day when I was knocked down (but not quite out) when I ran my JJ in to AA. I hung in and played a few more hands, before I eventually ended up going out in 15^th spot.

Just after about 11:30 it was the final table, which included:

Trojandonkey (10^th)

Ca5gaR (9^th)

WarSunTzu (8^th)

7Enygma7 (7^th)

Jobbit1 (6^th)

At 1am and it was still 5 handed and plenty of chat in the chat box to keep players mind off the game.. I mean on the game.

TableKnight (5^th) after going all in against the AJ of sanja4411 who hit a FH

In quick succession 2 more players are out:

Wowsickriver (4^th)

StilettoMafiosa (3^rd)

1:05 and it’s Heads up and very equal in chips:

Sanja4411

xxxiluvsjhlxxx

Eventually it came down to xxxiluvsjhlxxx who has won their flights and accommodation. They now have another small challenge to win entry to the events in Vegas 2011 courtesy of Black Belt Poker.

The winner xxxiluvsjhlxxx must now

- Beat Neil Channing in two consecutive heads-up matches and win entry into a WSOP 2011 $1,500 side event.

- Beat Richard Ashby in two consecutive heads-up matches and win entry into a WSOP 2011 $5,000 side event.

- Beat Sam Razavi in two consecutive heads-up matches and win entry into the WSOP 2011 $10,000 Main Event.
