Despite the handle, there were no accusations of concealed cards last night as Paul 'hiddenacesBBP' Hollick took down the fifth Leg of the Black Belt Poker League. Faced with a 62-strong field, hiddenacesBBP defeated an eclectic mix of pros and amateurs alike to capture treasures of just shy of $100, as well as seven days of bragging rights.
On this occasion, John 'luckyed147' Sanders was the bridesmaid, leaving former Champion Mark 'russellhansen' Brassington with the role of pageboy in third. Also finalling were Sean '10Royals' Lassman and Chris 'losbert40' Osborne who both turned Spending Points into hard cash after entering via a Black Belt Poker token.
This week saw a heavy influence of sponsored pros hit the virtual felt, but none featured in the money. Whilst Kevin 'Kevish47' Williams came close, but no cigar, in 11th, Joe 'JustinBieber' Roberts, Jerome 'GONGONONGO' Bradpiece, Gavin 'TFMonty007' Hall and Owen 'Ruaction' Robinson were quickly disposed of finishing 47th, 54th, 60th and 61st respectively.
1st hiddenacesBBP -- $99.20
2nd luckyed147 -- $68.20
3rd russellhansen -- $41.85
4th themackem1968 -- $31.00
5th cikarang5 -- $23.25
6th 10Royals -- $18.60
7th BoatDrink -- $15.50
8th losbert40 -- $12.40
Like last time, there was little movement in the League Standings, the only exception being Andy 'mrdroodle' Eskine and Ewen 'ewen51' MacRitchie who experienced a seesaw exchange with the former leap-frogging into third following a solid 12th place finish, and the latter sliding down from 6th to 16th quicker than a lard-encrusted eel after a surprise no-show.
At the top, Trevor 'TeeDeeEye1' Ingman is remaining as defiant as ever despite a mediocre 37th place finish, maintaining a comfortable lead of 64 points with three Legs remaining. His saving grace was, surely, the disappointing showing from second-place Leigh 'ch1paccrual' Wiltshire who could only muster 57th.
1st TeeDeeEye1 -- 439 points
2nd ch1paccrual -- 375 points
3rd Mrdroodle -- 356 points
4th FlopTheNuts77 -- 351 points
5th habbad -- 351 points
6th JimmyTheBhoy -- 349 points
7th DididavidBEL09 -- 339 points
8th Werrrrd -- 336 points
9th 99Ranny -- 333 points
10th bh0yw0nder -- 321 points
With Black Belt Poker guaranteeing seats, the London Live super satellite was well attended with 31 looking to secure one of four spots. In the end, they went to Joanne 'InURdreamz' Sweeney, 1894IAIN, David 'DididavidBEL09' Meunier and Chris 'youshouldstakeme' Cornelius, the latter of whom won his seat for just $5 after triumphing in Thursday's Stage 1 satellite. Meanwhile, mrdroodle, who qualified via last week's Donkament, just about made a profit as he snuck into the money in seventh.
1st youshouldstakeme -- London Live seat
2nd DididavidBEL09 -- London Live seat
3rd 1894IAIN -- London Live seat
4th InURdreamz -- London Live seat
5th disciple999 -- $70.00
6th sceaga2 -- $42.00
7th Mrdroodle -- $28.00
The final event of the night was the $1 Donkament with one guaranteed seat into next week's $40+4 super satellite. That spot went to none other than League I Champion Adam 'JHobbit1' Saunders, whose bar exploits from last year will surely be in for a repeat performance.
1st JHobbit1 -- super satellite seat
2nd insider6666 -- $19.00
3rd Anonymous
4th BoatDrink -- $7.60
