JosseWales Shoots to League XII Victory ~ 04 November 2011
Article by "snoopy"

League XII kicks off in style with Orange Belt 'JosseWales' setting the early pace.
It seems like only yesterday that Adam 'JHobbit1' Saunders was busy tearing up the virtual felt to capture the inaugural League title. Over two years on and the Black Belt Poker League is back once again for its twelfth outing, the fields having swelled to 100-plus, and the added value making Super Tuesday an unmissible evening of poker festivity.

This time, 133 players set about their journey to League glory with all eyes on reigning Champion Bob 'myteamouse' Bulman, whose League XI victory earned him free entry into the upcoming Black Belt Nottingham Live. On this occasion, however, his venture endured a bumpy start when he bubbled the wooden spoon in 132nd.

After a hard-fought battle, first blood would ultimately be drawn by Orange Belt Barry 'JosseWales' Styles. He defeated Kim insider66666' Vernon to capture the $179.55 first prize. Meanwhile, League XI runner-up and pacesetter Karl 'KV1TALS' Briggs got off to another explosive start with a fifth-place finish, whilst Black Belt Neil Channing also made the money in nineteenth.

1st JosseWales -- $179.55
2nd insider66666 -- $106.40
3rd 45683ah -- $66.50
4th badbeefy -- $53.20
5th KBV1TALS -- $46.55
6th Sarannedipity -- $39.99
7th Mrdroodle -- $33.20
8th bornTOflirt -- $26.60
9th tentofollow -- $19.95
10th luckyed147 -- $13.30
11th huzi9mm -- $7.98
12th ACarey -- $7.98
13th taylormade777 -- $7.98
14th NPenfold666 -- $7.98
15th KidDonut -- $7.98
16th themackem1968 -- $7.98
17th Iceman78Danny -- $7.98
18th doochats -- $7.98
19th NeilChanning -- $7.98
20th UsainZeus -- $7.98

As a result - and many thanks to my maths A-level for finally coming into use - the League Standings currently look as such after one leg.

1st JosseWales -- 158 points
2nd insider66666 -- 150 points
3rd 45683ah -- 146 points
4th badbeefy -- 142 points
5th KBV1TALS -- 139 points
6th Sarannedipity -- 136 points
7th Mrdroodle -- 133 points
8th bornTOflirt -- 130 points
9th tentofollow -- 127 points
10th luckyed147 -- 125 points

Triumph not only places 'JosseWales' at the top of the tree, but also secures him a spot in our Second Chance SNG. Brand new to Black Belt Poker, any player who wins a leg over the course of the eight weeks will be automatically eligible for a SNG taking place on December 21 with the eventual winner receiving the same star prize as the overall champion.

Before Santa Clause descends the chimney tops, however, Black Belt Poker are dishing out our own seasonal gifts at the Black Belt Nottingham Live, due to grace the Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club from November 18-20. Registration is currently available through the Black Belt Poker client, but you can also gain reduced entry through one of our thrice-weekly satellites.

This week, we gave away another five guaranteed seats, including two in Wednesday's qualifier which witnessed an incredible $100 overlay.

Monday, $10+1 freezeout, 19 runners, one seat guaranteed:

1st Nanoplankton -- Nottingham Live seat
2nd gingerninja11111 -- $25.00
3rd jokerage -- $15.00
4th deanmac1 -- $10.00

Tuesday, $3+0.3 rebuy, 20 runners, one seat guaranteed:

1st ACarey -- Nottingham Live seat
2nd gnomeeee -- $5.00
3rd russellhansen -- $3.00
4th HammerHorror -- $2.00

Wednesday, $20+2, 9 runners, two seats guaranteed:

1st myteamouse -- Nottingham Live seat
2nd GOLDENSOMBRE -- Nottingham Live seat

If you would like to join the above players in Nottingham, then be sure to check out our qualifiers next week, including Thursday's Bang For Ya Buck at 20:30, a one-off satellite with a buy-in of just $1. With two seats guaranteed, many are forecasting an overlay, thus making this an incredible opportunity to qualify for the year's most fun-filled event for a single buck.

For the second week running, the Deepstack Mulligan rewarded the top five players with Belt Points, in addition to the standard prize pool. In the end, it was Sean 'Snotterz' Fennessey who rose highest, besting a field of 31 (of which included Black Belt Sam 'KODDZILLA' Razavi and Blue Belt Ben 'AsboKid666' Meredith) to snap up the 50 Belt Points and $186.00 first prize. Triumph also marked a hat-trick of Mulligan wins for the Scot.

1st Snotterz -- $186.00 (50 Belt Points)
2nd 7onyB -- $116.25 (30 Belt Points)
3rd tentofollow -- $74.40 (10 Belt Points)
4th nakgeela4 -- $51.15 (5 Belt Points)
5th ZoeRiZZ0 -- $37.20 (5 Belt Points)

In other news, Malcolm 'lionrampant' Sievweright and Carey 'CareyBearBBP' Hollick lapped up the two Nottingham Live packages (including spending money) in Wednesday's Nottingham Live Freeroll, whilst 'Iam2real2deal' and 'booterswex' won this week's White and Yellow Belt Freerolls on Wednesday and Thursday respectively.

Next week, we're once again inviting you to take the Black Belt Poker tour through Valueville with yet more satellites, freerolls, and deep-stacked tournaments, all at affordable prices and with juicy prizes/money added.

Meanwhile, Leg 2 of the League will commence at 19:30 on Super Tuesday. Even if you missed the opening leg, you can still become Champion and join the Black Belt Poker pros at the Vic in December. And remember, if you participate in all eight legs, we'll instantly credit your account with 200 Belt Points, regardless of position. It's value too good to be ignored.
