BlackBelt and Poker Encore team up

[teaulc]

Poker Encore is pleased to announce it has agreed a deal with UK based Black Belt Poker to offer its players a new home on the iPoker network. Under the guidance of UK poker legend Neil Channing, Black Belt poker has operated as a stand-alone skin on the iPoker network for the last 5 years. This partnership will allow for the continuation of popular Black Belt promotions and the maintenance of the Black Belt community site (www.blackbeltpoker.com). Existing Black Belt Poker players will also have the chance to bring any existing player points with them to Poker Encore. “I’ve known Neil ever since I first got involved in poker and we share many common principles and beliefs of how things should be done in poker” commented Poker Encore founder Karl Mahrenholz. “He has built an incredibly strong brand and a popular community amongst his players. I look forward to welcoming these players to Poker Encore and working with Neil on the next phase in the life of Black Belt Poker.” Neil Channing added: “I am pleased that the loyal Black Belt community will still have a place to regularly meet up with the friends they have made and play tournaments together. Of all the places we could have directed our players I’m very happy I could do a deal with Karl as I know everyone will be well looked after. I’ll still be around to make sure our players have no problems during the move and look forward to hosting the next Black Belt tournament on Poker Encore”.
