At the halfway stage (Leg 4)
This week once again saw the Black Belt Poker League grace the cyber felt, as 83 hopefuls battled it out for a spot in the end-of-season Second Chance SNG, and some vital-as-always points in the overall standings.
As with last week's shenanigans, it was a debutant winner who emerged from the smoke as top dog, mikeymixitup morphing his $5.50 investment into $121.00 and donning the temporary seven-day crown.
Close, but no cigar was Anthony BoraBoraBoy Giuntini in second, whilst fellow Orange Belt Tony 7onyB Booth lapped up the bronze medal in third. Further down the list, last week's victor Chris SchnauzerSoze04 Cope came in at 71st, whilst reigning League Champion Adam JHobbit1 Saunders departed in an equally uncharacteristic 53rd.
Such eliminations meant that the final table boasted some new faces, and a completely fresh lineup from the week prior:
1st mikeymixitup -- $121.00
2nd BoraBoraBoy -- $81.40
3rd 7onyB -- $61.60
4th losbert40 -- $41.80
5th RiverSiren -- $30.80
6th JosseWales -- $23.10
7th PhilDee64 -- $18.70
8th sandy1611 -- $15.40
9th 10Royals -- $13.20
10th ourkidsid -- $11.00
11th 4KSuited -- $11.00
12th Cursonator -- $11.00
Bambury's 60th place has led to a changing of the guards at the top of the standings with Sean 10Royals Lassman leading the way by a mere four points after sneaking onto the final table. Jamie doochats White remains in second, whilst Steve gnomeeee Cash jumps to third.
1st 10Royals -- 261 points
2nd doochats -- 257 points
3rd gnomeeee -- 250 points
4th russellhansen -- 249 points
5th ourkidsid -- 237 points

9th 7onyB -- 221 points
10th liquidpoker101 -- 220 points
11th myteamouse -- 220 points
12th Bambury -- 218 points
13th PhilDee64 -- 216 points
14th mikeymixitup -- 215 points
15th TeeDeeEye1 -- 206 points
16th BoraBoraBoy -- 204 points
17th thehingster -- 204 points
18th shaolin4aces -- 197 points
19th pbsef81 -- 196 points

So with 4 more legs to go "Josse Wales" after a slow start has moved onto the leader board ~
When asked about his 6th place this week that moves him into 20th place overall , what could be expected over the last 4 legs, he replied,
"Hell is coming to breakfast, and there will be no hiding place for the rest of the young guns now" !!
