Last Tuesday, it was a League Supernova for 'Ourkid888' as Jon Laight found himself 'caught beneath a landslide' of triumph as he reigned supreme in Leg 4 of League VIII.
The spoils consisted of $120 and 105 League points, credited after a dogged performance that saw Ourkid888 best a field of 80. The final soldier toppled was Peter 'Merlin52' Goulding, who despite a fine showing, was unable to yield his magic to garnish a fist final-table appearance with a League victory.
Also finalling (in fifth) was Sam 'KODDZILLA' Razavi, fresh off final-tabling the recent Aussie Millions Main Event for a whopping A$225,000. Fellow Black Belt Neil Channing also featured, but could only muster a disappointing 67th place finish, whilst reigning League Champion Tom 'Werrrrd' Drew didn't fair much better in 53rd.

Despite bubbling the final table, 11th was enough to see Trevor 'TeeDeeEye1' Ingham extend his lead at the top to 413 points, a disconcerting 44 points ahead of nearest rival Leigh 'ch1paccrual' Wiltshire who leap-frogged Ewen 'ewen51' MacRitchie into second. Meanwhile, Gavin 'TFMonty007' Hall drops from the top 10 after a frustrating 51st place finish, to be replaced by former League Champion Mark '99Ranny' Ranson who skips into ninth.

As always, defeat in the League didn't necessarily mean an early night, as 30 minutes later saw the fourth London Live super satellite kick off with 24 salivating poker fanatics looking to secure their seat in April's extravaganza. In the end, three more seats were filled, with Purple Belt Richard 'generalshifty' Hurst being joined at the Grosvenor Victoria (bar) by Deboarah 'whosurmama' Worley-Roberts and Gareth 'PKRLocke' Alder.
1st generalshifty -- $275.00

The $1 Donkament into next week's super satellite was similarly well attended with Andy 'mrdroodle' Erskine topping the 24-strong field, whilst former League Champion Adam 'JHobbit1' Saunders just missing out in second.
1st Mrdroodle -- $44.00
2nd JHobbit1 -- $17.50
3rd losbert40 -- $10.50
4th betyama -- $7.00
Although Tuesday is Black Belt Poker's day of poker feasting, we also offer a snack on Thursday evening for those with big appetites. Following the starting whistle of the Yellow Belt freeroll, there's a $5 satellite at 8.30pm with one seat guaranteed into the following Tuesday's $40+4 super satellite.
This week's event was hotly contested with 17 players - including Blue Belt Joe 'JustinBieber' Roberts and League III Champion David 'DididavidBEL09' Meunier - hitting the virtual felt, but after the smoke had cleared and the dust settled, it was Chris 'youshoulstakeme' Cornelius who advanced with Grant 'betyama' Darnley forced to settle for second.
1st youshouldstakem -- super satellite seat
2nd betyama -- $20.50
3rd JustinBieber -- $12.30
4th TFMonty007 -- $8.20
