Blue Belt Fifth in WSOP Warrior


The WSOP Super Warrior League is an exciting new promotion which sees players from across the iPoker network battle it out over the course of nine, hotly contested events. Second to ninth place finishers will win a trip to Vegas to play in the 2010 World Series of Poker, whilst first place will take away the WSOP Warrior package worth $25,000!

With four events in the bag, it’s ague007 who tops the leaderboard with 71 points, whilst MousePlaya is hot on his heels in second with 67 points. However, behind them, and in joint fifth place with 54 points, is Black Belt Poker sponsored pro Robert ‘7Enygma7’ Jarrett-Smith.

A current Blue Belt, Robert earned his sponsorship through the recent Black Belt Poker Grading, which also saw him become a member of the Dublin 3 and play in the 2010 Irish Open. But now, he has his sights set on the bright lights of Vegas, and if he carries on in this fashion, could well secure his seat in the year’s most anticipated poker event for a mere $300+20 investment.

Also flying high is Purple Belt Adam ‘trojandonkey’ Latimer, an Omaha High-Low cash specialist who was a member of last year’s Vegas 8, which saw him stay in the Black Belt Poker mansion and play $20,000 worth of WSOP events. Currently sitting in 14th place with 39 points, he could be in line for a repeat performance. Adam is also braced to be a bounty in the upcoming Oxford Cup, sponsored by Black Belt Poker.

A number of Black Belt Poker players have ambushed the WSOP Warrior, including Mark ‘russellhansen’ Brassington (28th – 32 points), Brian ‘brigal19’ Gallagher (40th – 30 points) and Paul ‘prince247’ Harrison (50th – 29 points). Experiencing mixed results, but still in with a great chance, is Blue Belt Gavin ‘TFMonty’ Hall, sitting in 67th place with 28 points. Like Robert, Gavin was a winning participant in the recent Grading, but opted to take the 100,000 in Belt Points rather than the Irish Open seat.

Having participated in the opening WSOP Warrior events, Gavin has decided to reveal some of the hands he played in one of the early events in the hope of raising discussion and giving people a few ideas. Gavin is always open to criticism, so if you feel as though you have a different slant on a hand he played, then please feel free to leave feedback in the comments box at the foot of the page.
