3 Yellow Belts Win $13K WSOP Packages



Last week, we gave our community the chance to gatecrash this year's World Series of Poker Main Event via a mouth-watering Mega Satellite on Black Belt Poker.

With an incredible 30 guaranteed packages up for grabs, this was an unmissable opportunity for anyone who's ever dreamt of becoming World Champion, and an absolute snip at just $500+35. Each package was worth $13,000, which included entry into the $10,000 Main Event, accommodation at the luxurious Wynn Hotel and Casino and spending money.

What made this offer even better was that Black Belt Poker went loopy, over the hill and positively around the bend when we served up a double whammy with our Black Belt Bonus: if you qualify through the Mega satellite through Black Belt Poker and go on to cash in the WSOP Main Event, we'll buy you into next year's event, absolutely free!

And so, on Sunday, June 19, 586 runners across the entire iPoker network played the Mega Satellite, thus creating an overlay of almost $100,000. Black Belt Poker showed up in force and, in total, the black, white and red made up for nearly 10 percent of the field with a fantastic 53 runners.

In the end, three Black Belt Poker players battled through the crowd to secure their seat in the year's most anticipated date on the poker calendar. They were:

Sean 'Snotterz' Fennesey
Jeremy 'slapdash1248' Rickard
Greg 'PorJas' Moore

Amazingly, the aforementioned warriors were all Yellow Belts, who only joined Black Belt Poker a few weeks ago. They have literally exploded onto the scene by landing a juicy WSOP package each. All three of them will be bought into Day 1D (July 10) of the WSOP Main Event and everyone here at Black Belt Poker would like to extend our congratulations once more and wish them all the best in Vegas.

Black Belt Poker's sponsored pros are already in Vegas, temporarily residing in the exquisite Black Belt Poker mansion while ambushing the 58 bracelet events the WSOP has to offer.
