Barry 'JosseWales' Styles pulls out victory in Leg 3 of the latest Black Belt Poker League.
97 players were hoping to make it third time lucky this week as Leg 3 of the Black Belt Poker League took centre stage on Super Tuesday. The prize: $145.52, 122 league points, and entry into our end-of-season Second Chance SNG.

Former Champion and wooden spoon recipient 99Ranny fell short, as did reigning Champion ChipRead (73rd) and last week's winner bas2604 (73rd) - instead, the spoils went to Barry (JosseWales) Stlyes who pipped tealcSVU at the heads-up post.

1st JosseWales -- $145.52
2nd tealcSVU -- $97.00
3rd nickhem1 -- $60.62
4th nicenutter -- $46.07
5th PhilDee64 -- £36.37
6th NPStars1 -- $29.10
7th FalconAyr -- $24.25
8th cheekyweeguy -- $19.40
9th Elysiumjay -- $14.55
10th sprinterz -- $12.12

David (livinginhope2) Hall's 12th place finish left him painfully short of the money, but elevated him to the top of the overall standings by six points. The brief reshuffle means that the top five are all Orange Belts.

1st livinghope2 -- 300 points
2nd ryang3691 -- 294 points
3rd PhilDee64 -- 275 points
4th FalconAyr -- 273 points

RiverSiren Sails to Victory in Leg 5
22 June 2012
By Annabel Jones
Warren 'RiverSiren' Posnett ships leg 5 whilst league leader 'FalconAyr' finishes second.

Ship It Warren RiverSiren Posnett made waves this week when he topped the 77-runner field and took down the $115.52 first prize in the latest leg of the Black Belt Poker League.

Steve FalconAyr Dickson was stopped mid-flight when RiverSiren defeated him heads-up. Instead, second place had to suffice, but it was a result that sealed his position at the top of the leaderboard for another week.

The top 10 finishers in this week’s league game cashed. Congratulations to:

1st RiverSiren -- $115.25
2nd FalconAyr -- $77
3rd PhilDee64 --$48.12
4th Barty1uk -- $36.57
5th livinginhope2 -- $28.87
6th nakgeela4 -- $23.10
7th stevegw -- $19.255
8th habbad -- $15.40
9th NPStars1 -- $11.55
10th paul6543 -- $9.62

This week’s league game has resulted in a few changes on the leaderboard: TeeDeeEye1 and PhilDee64 have both moved up whilst "livinginhope2’s" fifth place finish means he stays in second position overall.

Last week’s league game winner, Malcolm lionrampant Sievwright, didn’t fare so well this time around; he was knocked out in 32nd place and so remains in 13th position on the leaderboard for the time being. Meanwhile, RiverSiren’s recent success means he just sneaks into 20th place.

Here are the top 20:

1st FalconAyr -- 454 points
2nd livinginhope2 -- 441 points
3rd TeeDeeEye1 -- 390 points
4th PhilDee64 -- 375 points
5th NPStars1 -- 374 points
6th 13kendo13 -- 369 points
7th 7onyB -- 366 points
8th liquidpoker101 -- 363 points
9th Barty1uk -- 354 points
10th ryang3691 -- 352 points
11th Bartukbb -- 336 points
12th Berajo -- 335 points
13th lionrampant27 -- 334 points
14th eixip50 -- 330 points
15th ToddCoxeter -- 318 points
16th bornTOflirt -- 316 points
17th 45683ah -- 307 points

[bennythedip2]

Quick update of last nights league on Black Belt Poker

Dave (livinginhope2) was very unlucky when short stacked to see his 'all-in' bet of around 10bb's, get called in two seats !!

Dave shows Q Q, other players show 10 8 and A J ~~
Flop 10 8 4, turn blank, river Ace . Talk about sick, if the first one got him wounded , the second one finished him off !!
Still he may be still top or at least in the top three, I think around 50 pts last night ~~

Oh just one other thing, my mate Lee (mackem) made the final table to finish around 6th/7th ~
But none could stop the outlaw "Josse Wales" from shooting up the final table and take down the game around midnight

Full report at the weekend

[bennythedip2]

if your there, dont forget the orange belt Freeroll tonight Wed at 7 30

[livinginhope]

well done last night barry . blitzed the field again two wins out of the seven games, brilliant.
