Re: Black Belt Poker Nottingham Live 2 - August 10-12th 2012

The weather may be unpredictable, but if there's one thing you can rely on in this country it's the value at the Black Belt Live events. With that in mind, Black Belt Poker are proud to announce the first three bounties at the upcoming Black Belt Nottingham Live II. This August 10-12, the reigning Champions from all three of our Black Belt Live events will be looking to become the first ever two-time winner and add yet more silverware to the cabinet. Returning to defend his title will be Stuart

diiscostu

Hyson. Affectionately named 'The Dyson' due to his ability to suck up chips, Stuart brushed aside the opposition in 2011 to capture the first prize of $15,500, which included $1,500 in bonuses for being an Orange Belt. Joining Hyson in the hunt for legendary status is Peter

Wigglesworth who exploded his way to glory at the Black Belt London Live at the Grosvenor Victoria on Edgware Road. He collected $16,020 after topping a 414-strong field. Completing the winning trio is online prodigy Sonny

Spommo3

Pomroy. 21-years of age and brother of the infamous 'Dpommo', Pomroy proved that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree when he overcame a tough final table - that included Black Belt Richard Ashby - at the inaugural East End Live. He scooped $13,300. If you think one title is enough for these guys, then think again, as Hyson served up some fighting talk as he prepares for his return visit to the East Midlands: "I'm here to win, whoever said 'it's not whether you win or lose that counts'… probably lost." But this time around, Hyson and his fellow Champions will have a bigger target on their head than usual, as they take their seat alongside a chocolate Bounty Bar - Black Belt Poker's now symbolic message of: 'Come and get me if you like added value... and chocolate.' More bounties will be confirmed nearer the time with prizes and Belt bonuses announced next Monday, so keep your eyes peeled on the site for further news. In the meantime, be sure to check out our weekly satellites where you can secure your seat from as little as $5+0.50.

Re: Black Belt Poker Nottingham Live 2 - August 10-12th 2012 With the October Nine set, attention has now turned from Vegas to Nottingham where the Black Belt Live bus will be making its next stop. This August 10-12, the Nottingham Live will be returning to Dusk Till Dawn for another week of fun and frolics including Belt bonuses and pro bounties. In keeping with WSOP fever, two former bracelet winners have now been confirmed for Nottingham Live II and will be playing the event with a giant target etched onto their foreheads as bounties. With a near four million in live tournament winnings, Marty Smyth is Ireland's second biggest winner of all time, and is considered to be one of Europe's best Omaha players. In 2007, he preceded Neil Channing as the Irish Open Champion, before winning the World Open just one year later. Then, in the summer of 2008, he captured his first bracelet when he won the $10,000 PLO Championship for a hefty $859,549. Marty's greatest achievement, however, is surely his back-to-back final tables in the Poker Million, where he came second to Joe Beevers in 2007, before going one better 12 months later for a cool $1,000,000. The second bracelet winner to take his seat in Nottingham will be Black Belt Poker sponsored pro Richard Ashby. Richard adorned his wrist in 2010 when he took down the title and $140,467 first prize in the $1,500 Seven-Card Stud event, only to add a further $378,027 to the kitty less than a fortnight later for his second place finish in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship. Meanwhile, he established a formidable reputation at high stakes Omaha, and has won millions of dollars playing in some of the biggest games available, against some of the world's best players such as Phil Ivey, Tom 'durrrr' Dwan, and Ilhari 'Ziigmund' Sahamies. Now his eyes are firmly fixed on Nottingham Live, and improving on his finish at the inaugural East End Live where he placed fifth for $3,400, plus $680 for being a Black Belt. Marty and Richard bring the list of announced bounties up to five after we announced that all three Black Belt Live winners - Sonny Pomroy, Peter Wigglesworth, and defending Champion Stuart Hyson - would be vying to become the first two-time winner. If you would like to join them in Nottingham, then registration is available now exclusively via the Black Belt Poker cardroom. The Main Event is a $200+20 No Limit Hold'em Freezeout with a $75,000 guaranteed prize pool.
