teaulc Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 The Black Belt Poker League is returning for it's 7th installment! League VII will kick off on the 26th of October and will run every Tuesday at 7:30pm for 8 weeks until the 14th of December. The buy-in is $5+0.50 and you can join the League at any point, but it's advisable you get involved as early as possible to increase your chances of winning. You don't want to be playing catch up. Points will be awarded in reverse finishing order. So in a 50 runner field, 1st place will receive 50 points, and last place 1 point. Plus the top 10 finishers will be awarded additional points as follows: 1st - 25 points 2nd - 18 points 3rd - 15 points 4th - 12 points 5th - 10 points 6th - 8 points 7th - 6 points 8th - 4 points 9th - 2 points 10th - 1 point This time, the winner of League VII will not only get a token for acclaimed tutorial site Deuces Cracked, but he or she will also be joining Neil Channing, Richard Ashby and the whole Black Belt team for an all-expenses paid Christmas Dinner. Following dinner, the winner will get to test his/her skills against all the Black Belt sponsored pros in a £1,500 SNG freeroll, the winner of which will receive £1,000 with second taking £500. The players that finish in spots 2 to 10 will all receive Deuces Cracked tokens and Belt Points. 2nd - 1000 belt points 3rd - 850 belt points 4th - 750 belt points 5th - 600 belt points 6th - 500 belt points 7th - 400 belt points 8th - 300 belt points 9th - 200 belt points 10th - 100 belt points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaulc Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 Re: Black Belt Poker League 7 - complete and Final Write Up inc. Tom 'Werrrrd' Drew becomes League Champion as Mark 'SebastianKat' Cooper snaps up Leg 8. Bink! People cried salt tears when X-Factor drew to a close; they twiddled their thumbs when the final whistle was blown on the World Cup; and they sighed begrudgingly when the November Nine was no more. All good things must come to an end, and so it was with great chagrin that we entered into our final Leg of League VII, an epic eight-week encounter which saw a total of 192 poker fanatics do battle across the virtual felt in a bid to capture the game's most illustrious prize: a Black Belt Poker League title. In the end, only one man could enter the Christmas period with that prestigious honour, and that man was Tom 'Werrrrd' Drew. A Grader and long-time community member, Tom dominated proceedings from as early as Leg 2, only conceding the top spot temporarily to Blue Belt Kevin Williams on Week 5. Heading into the final Leg, however, Tom boasted a commanding lead, and only a slip-up, along with a strong showing from the rest of the pack, would potentially see the sands of victory seep through the palms of his hands. Of course, Tom remained vigilant, and pulled out a 20th place finish to vanquish any doubt. Despite Tom's destined triumph, there was still plenty to play for in Leg 8 as Black Belt Poker completed a hattrick of Academy bonuses thanks to Steve Rigby, who had kindly vacated his ticket in order to deliver one lucky punter an early Christmas present. After fending off 62 other fierce competitors (a credible turnout to say the least), it was Mark 'SebastianKat' Cooper who snapped up the added value, as well as the $100.81 first prize. 1st SebastianKat -- $100.81 2nd S0lution -- $69.30 3rd SurrealKiller -- $42.52 4th Brewski1 -- $31.50 5th ZoeRiZZ0 -- $23.62 6th insider66666 -- $18.90 7th cikarang5 -- $15.75 8th russellhansen -- $12.60 As a result of his fourth place finish, Dean 'Brewski1' Brewer snuck into second in front of Simon 'ourkidsid' Herrick who finished 27th, whilst Kevish47 slipped down to fourth having only managed 44th. As 'Mr. Consistent' Lee '4kingdonktard' Neary held onto sixth place with considerable ease, we had a last-ditch entry into the 'prize zone', former Champion Mark 'russelhansen' Brassington creeping into 10th with yet another final table finish. 1st Werrrrd (640 points) -- Party Package & DeucesCracked Token 2nd Brewski1 (591 points) -- 1,000 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token 3rd ourkidsid (571 points) -- 850 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token 4th Kevish47 (552 points) -- 750 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token 5th losbert40 (549 points) -- 600 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token 6th 4kingdonktard (525 points) -- 500 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token 7th RedKiteBlackBelt (516 points) -- 400 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token 8th UsainZeus88 (512 points) -- 300 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token 9th JHobbit1 (489 points) -- 200 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token 10th russellhansen (483 points) -- 100 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token Of course, the 'one in, one out' rule applied, and the man to be stopped at the door and sent home for wearing trainers was Ian 'mbdnr235' Grieve, his disappointing 58th place finish on the final Leg meaning he, sadly, and as Anne Robinson would say, "goes home with nothing." But poker's a cruel game, and perhaps the lowest blow was in fact dealt to Alan 'tealcSVU' Steer who, despite a solid set of results, and a 17th place finish at the death, bubbled the top 10 just 13 points shy. 11th tealcSVU (17) -- 470 points 12th mbdnr235 (58) -- 469 points =13th blackbeltninja -- 460 points =13th rattersbrfc -- 460 points 15th 300300299 -- 446 points 16th 99Ranny -- 444 points 17th ACarey -- 438 points 18th UKPB -- 432 points 19th 5upern0vae -- 425 points 20th sceaga2 -- 424 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
