Black Belt Blog: Vegas Freeroll; May 4 Be With You

With 414 salivating poker Padawans jam-packing the Grosvenor Victoria Casino like cans of sardines in an elevator, the Black Belt London Live II was deemed a roaring success, with Reading's Peter Wigglesworth crowned ruler of the galaxy and proud recipient of the sparkling silverware.

With troopers such as Gavin Hall and Gareth Alder taking advantage of the bounty prizes and Belt bonuses, Black Belt Poker paid out $5,555 (five alive!) in added money. However, with a potential $25,700 up for grabs, it was evident that not everyone lapped up the extra spondoolies available.

If you turned to the dark side and didn't reach Orange Belt or above in time for the London Live, then don't fret, as Black Belt Poker have once again gone madder than Darth Vader and decided that it would be a good idea to give even more money away. As such, we're giving you a new hope, a chance of redemption and yet another chance to snap up some of the amazing value on offer.

In a one-time deal, exclusive to all London Live entrants, we're hosting a London Live Vegas Freeroll on Wednesday, May 4, 2011 in which we're giving away a trip to Sin City to the lucky winner, absolutely free!

But wait, it gets even better, as the freeroll winner will also have the chance to supplement his or her prize with tournament buy-ins by taking on our Black Belt Yodas. Win two consecutive heads-up matches against Emperor Channing and you'll get to play a $1,500 event; add a $5,000 event if you can maul Richard Ashby; and finally topple heads-up Jedi and Aussie Millions finalist Sam Razavi to participate in the $10,000 WSOP Main Event!

To be eligible for the Vegas Freeroll, all you have to do is maintain your Belt (or be promoted to a higher Belt for the month of April). So, if you made the mistake of entering the London Live as a Yellow Belt and not being in a position to take advantage of the added money, then this is your second bite of the cherry. Hit Orange by May 1, and you'll be in with a shot at going to Vegas courtesy of Black Belt Poker.

There are no Jedi mind tricks here - this is genuine! This is your chance to become the Luke Skywalker of the poker world and not only go to Vegas, but have a shot at becoming the next WSOP World Champion. Don't miss out; assure you secure your place in the Vegas Freeroll and we look forward to sending one of you to Viva Las Vegas!
