'JaytheHippy71' commands Leg 2 of League XII as Leg 1 winner 'JosseWales' cashes again.
Plucking Awesome!

The second outing for the latest Black Belt Poker League graced the virtual felt last Tuesday, as 104 success-hungry poker fanatics returned to the cyber baize to once again battle it out for the Super Tuesday crown.

Seven days earlier, it was Barry 'JosseWales' Styles who took the proverbial bull by the horns when he reigned supreme in the opening leg, and this time he was in tip-top form once again as he continued his money-making formula with a second consecutive cash.

Top honours, however, fell in the hands of 'JaytheHippy71', who bested a brand new lineup of finalists in order to snap up the $140.40 booty. In doing so, he also joined 'JosseWales' in the Second Chance SNG, a one-table war in which all eight leg winners receive a second bite at the star-prize cherry.

1st JaytheHippy71 -- $140.40
2nd PaulAoKRoper -- $83.20
3rd bagpussrocks -- $52.00
4th stokelad112 -- $41.60
5th lionrampant27 -- $36.40
6th forget2piknik -- $31.20
7th MajorMustard -- $26.00
8th GGlitter69 -- $20.80
9th BoatDrink -- $15.60
10th losbert40 -- $10.40
11th Georgia20 -- $6.24
12th D014hyd3 -- $6.24
13th taylormade777 -- $6.24
14th IanLeBruceBBP -- $6.24
15th Nanoplankton -- $6.24
16th 10Royals -- $6.24
17th JosseWales -- $6.24
18th megaranaxx -- $6.24
19th ourkidsid -- $6.24
20th brigal19 -- $6.24

For either of these two players, it's possible that they won't need that second life, as they lead the way after two legs, 'JosseWales' with his nose in front. Meanwhile, Hasmukh '45683ah' Khodiyara is echoing the consistency that led to him becoming the 2010 WSOP League Ultimate Warrior with 3rd and 26th place finishes.

1st JosseWales -- 246 points
2nd JaytheHippy71 -- 238 points
3rd 45683ah -- 225 points
4th lionrampant27 -- 216 points
5th taylormade777 -- 213 points
6th ACarey -- 206 points
7th NeilChanning -- 198 points
8th bagpussrocks -- 197 points
9th tentofollow -- 196 points
10th bornTOflirt -- 194 points

Just missing out on the prize spots, but still well within reach, are a number of familiar monikers including League XI runner-up Andy 'BoatDrink' Butcher. Reigning champion Bob 'myteamouse' Bulman is far from 'mighty' this time around with a start that would make my 15-year old Ford Fiesta look reliable: 132nd and 73rd.

11th Sarannedpity -- 190 points
12th BoatDrink -- 190 points
13th adygolf -- 182 points
14th PaulAoKRope -- 181 points
15th losbert40 -- 180 points
16th Georgia20 -- 180 points
17th doochats -- 173 points
18th JHobbit1 -- 171 points
19th AMANESS13 -- 170 points
20th Iceman78Danny -- 170 points
21st liquidpoker101 -- 170 points

Whilst 'myteamouse' is stuttering in the League, he's running rampant elsewhere. Not only did he win this week's Yellow Belt Freeroll (congratulations to 'maffew1' who triumphed in the White equivalent), but he was also one of two winners in the Bang for Ya Buck Nottingham Live satellite.

Bang for Ya Buck offered players the chance to qualify into the upcoming Black Belt Nottingham Live for just $1, and it was this carrot that lured precisely 100 hopefuls into their armchairs. The other seat, meanwhile, went to the curiously named 'friedliceplick' who will be joining 399 others at the luxurious Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club.

This wasn't the only avenue to Nottingham, as our thrice-weekly satellites once again produced four more seats. They went to: 'NLsoldier07', 'gnomeeee', 'HammerHorror' and 'megaranaxx'. I tip my hat to you all, in particular 'gnomeeee' who earned his ticket for just $6 in Tuesday's $3 rebut.

Finally, Wednesday's Deepstack Mulligan once again found a winner, that wo/man being 'Yosemity2207'.

1st Yosemity2207 -- $142.50 (50 Belt Points)
2nd myteamouse -- $85.50 (30 Belt Points)
3rd Snotterz -- $57.00 (10 Belt Points)
4th losbert40 (5 Belt Points)
5th MUSTBENICE11 (5 Belt Points)

If you would like to join in with any of the above tournaments, then be sure to check out next week's schedule as we inch closer to Nottingham. Next week will be your last chance to unearth your golden ticket, so make sure you take a stab at one of our satellites, including our ongoing $20 SNGs that can be found in the Black Belt Poker lobby.

Leg 3: Stevie Does It
17 November 2011
Report by "snoopy"
Leg 3 goes to 'steviegw' whilst consistency sees 'Hasmukh '45683ah' Khodiyara climb to the top.
Super Tuesday once again entertained us this week with another poker slobberknocker. As always, the Black Belt Poker League was first and foremost, and 95 were lured to the virtual felt in an attempt to echo the prior achievements of 'JosseWales' and 'JaytheHippy71'.

Although the field drew a number of unfamiliar names - a result, perhaps, of the Nottingham Live - the final table was a mixed bag with first-timers sharing the spotlight with regular attendees such as 'RykanShadow', 'Bambury' and League I winner (think smoke-filled saloons) Adam 'JHobbit1' Saunders.

After the pomp and circumstance transferred into a dogged and bloody battle, it was 'stevegw' who came out with his sword held high ($142.52 was the reward), closely followed by 'craigsidders' who'd turned a token into a $95.00 payday.

1st stevegw -- $142.52
2nd craigsidders -- $95.00
3rd Nanoplankton -- $59.37
4th FlopTheNuts77 -- $45.12
5th Bambury -- $35.62
6th RykanShadow -- $28.50
7th ChipRead77 -- $23.75
8th JHobbit1 -- $19.00
9th merlin52 -- $14.25
10th kippery -- $11.87

League XII has thus far proved to be one of the most open outings to date with none of the three opening leg winners featuring in the top five of the League Standings. Proving that the key to success to consistency is current leader Hasmukh '45683ah' Khodiyara with finishes of 3rd, 26th, and 32nd.

It was this kind of display that witnessed Hasmukh take down the 2011 WSOP Warrior League, which led to a WSOP package where he joined the Black Belt Poker team in the luxury Vegas mansion.

1st 45683ah -- 289 points
2nd taylormade777 -- 278 points (looks who's sneaking up the rail)
3rd bornTOflirt -- 276 points
4th losbert40 -- 264 points
6th JHobbit1 -- 263 points
6th Sarannedpity -- 262 points
7th JosseWales -- 255 points
8th tentofollow -- 252 points
9th NPenfold666 -- 249 points
10th JaytheHippy71 -- 249 points

If the top 10 are snug, then the next batch are like sardines in an elevator with a mere 23 points separating them.

11th Georgia20 -- 249 points
12th BoatDrink -- 247 points
13th bagpussrocks -- 244 points
14th doochats -- 243 points
15th RykanShadow -- 243 points
16th habbad -- 238 points
17th lionrampant27 -- 235 points
18th TeeDeeEye1 -- 234 points
19th KBV1TALS -- 231 points
20th Bambury -- 226 points

With the League behind them, 20 players decided to try and recoup their losses in the Deepstack Mulligan the following day. In the end, only three achieved that goal, although a total of five collected some added-bonus Community Points.

1st Cranfield -- $150.000 ($50 Belts Points)
2nd paul6543 -- $90.00 (30 Belt Points)
3rd losbert40 -- $60.00 (10 Belt Points)
4th Snotterz (5 Belt Points)
5th russellhansen (5 Belt Points)

On the same evening, the latest Orange Belt Freeroll saw 54 players lock horns. Five reaped the reards, thus earning themselves a slice of a Brown Belt in a future tournament. Congratulations to:

1st rustypokerhead -- $100 sponsorship
2nd stokelad112 -- $50 sponsorship
3rd JustinBieber -- $25 sponsorship
4th ourkidsid -- $25 sponsorship

The final Nottingham Live satellites also took place this week. Four players earned their entry at the very death: 'SchmidtSting', 'AmiDodge1986', 'drinko103' and 'playbadrungood'. Meanwhile, Yellow Belt Daniel 'Elderman10' Elder won entry into Saturday's £1,090 High-Roller event at DTD after fending off Neil Channing in last night's satellite.

As you may have already read, the iPOPS Giveaway graces our screens next week with iPOPS seats being handed out like Smarties. One event treated to the added value will be Leg 4 of the Black Belt Poker League - end the tournament as the last man standing and not only will you be entered into the Second Chance SNG, but you'll also win a a free token into Event #4 of the iPOPS.
