League VIII: London Live II


Blow the dust off your royal crockery and brace yourself for the chimes of Big Ben as League VIII has arrived with the nation's capital firmly in its sights. For its eighth outing, the Black Belt Poker League will be offering the lucky winner a guaranteed seat in the most hotly anticipated tournament on the poker calendar: the Black Belt London Live II.


The League will be a weekly $5 No Limit Hold'em freezeout commencing on Tuesday, January 25, 2011 and running for eight weeks until Tuesday, March 15, 2011. The prizes for the top 10 places are as follows:

1st London Live Seat & DeucesCracked Token
2nd 1,000 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token
3rd 850 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token
4th 750 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token
5th 600 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token
6th 500 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token
7th 400 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token
8th 300 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token
9th 200 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token
10th 100 Belt Points & DeucesCracked Token

Points for each leg will be awarded in reverse order, so that in a 50-runner event, 50th would earn 1 point, and 1st 50 points. The top 10 finishers per leg receive the following additional points:

1st 25 Points
2nd 18 Points
3rd 15 Points
4th 12 Points
5th 10 Points
6th 08 Points
7th 06 Points
8th 04 Points
9th 02 Points
10th 01 Point

Announced earlier this week, the Black Belt London Live II will be returning to the Grosvenor Victoria Casino in London on April 1-3 with a guranteed $100,000 prize pool and $20,000 first prize. The event will be a $250+25 No Limit Hold'em Freezeout with a 45-minute clock and 20,000 starting stack.

This year, the London Live is jam-packed with more value than ever with 20 bounties and up to 20% added to all prizes. We're also offering weekly satellites, in which players have the opportunity to qualify for the London Live for just $1!
Satellites commence on the same day as League VIII in place of the Donkament and Mulligan.

The League is open to Yellow Belts and above and you can join at any point. To become Yellow Belt, all you have to do is open a community account at backbeltpoker.com, download the poker client and make a deposit on the site.
