With no fewer than 20 bounties, this year's Black Belt London Live II promises to feature more stars than an entire series of Celebrity Squares. Today, we are proud to announce six confirmed bounties who will be adorning the Wanted posters at the Vic this April.
Fresh off winning the High Rollers event at the UKIPT Nottingham for £34,200, Jake Cody will be appearing at London Live II to showcase his talent. At just 22-years of age, Jake has already achieved feats that many veterans can only dream of and will be looking to become a Triple Crown champion in Vegas this year after winning EPT Deauville and WPT London in 2010.
One man who wears that desired gold is Marty Smyth, the Irishman having secured his bracelet in 2008 when he won the $10,000 World Championship Pot Limit Omaha event for $859,549. But this was just one of many triumphs with Marty also boasting Irish Open, World Open and Poker Million silverware, culminating to an incredible $3.8 million in live tournament winnings.
Joining Jake and Marty with targets on their heads will be Hit Squad member James Akenhead. A former train driver from London, James shot to stardom when he became a member of the November Nine in 2009, eventually falling in ninth for $1,263,602. Since then, he has gone on to greatness, finalling the WSOPE the same year, winning Poker Million VIII for $500,000, and securing a lucrative deal with sponsors Full Tilt Poker.
Completing the half-dozen of superstar bounties are the Black Belt Poker Black Belts: 2008 Irish Open and 2010 GUKPT Luton Champion Neil Channing, bracelet-winner and nosebleed Omaha pro Richard Ashby, and Grading III winner Sam Razavi, who recently finished sixth in the Aussie Millions Main Event for a delicious A$225,000.
If the above announcement has hit you for six, then check out the site for all the details. With up to $250 for eliminating a bounty, you could potentially go away with anything up to $5,000 without even making the money! But that's not where the value stops, as we're guaranteeing a $100,000 prize pool, a $20,000 first prize, a deep structure, and up to 20% added to all prizes, and all for just $250+25!
The London Live II is destined to be another roaring success and tickets are selling fast. To secure your seat, simply download the poker client, open an account, and register via the tournament lobby: Scheduled > London Live > BBP London LIve II Day 1A/1B.
