On Tuesday night, just before 7.30pm, the air fell silent in the Black Belt Poker cardroom. 79 people had plonked themselves in front of their computer screens, ready to immerse themselves in what has become a staple diet of the BBP community. Then... Leg 2 of League X kicked off! When it eventually reached its conclusion, just like last week, a Yellow Belt was left punching the air in delight.
Zoe 'ZoeRiZZ0' Orton-Jay no doubt left the virtual felt with a huge grin to match the newly acquired bulge in her purse. She won $118.52 along with 104 points - not bad for an investment of only $5+0.50. The victory is also Zoe's first league win to date and pushes her from fourth to first place in the overall league standings!
Finishing in second place came Kim 'insider66666' Vernon, who won $79 and 96 points. Peter 'UliKoko' Derrick finished third and claimed a prize of $49.37 along with 92 points. Despite those wins, it wasn't enough to lift either of them into the top 20. However, there are still six more opportunities left for them, as well as everyone else to catch up.

After Leg 2, 'ZoeRiZZ0 now sits at the top of the pile with 211 points. She replaces last week's winner Mark 'russellhansen' Brassington, who exited in 26th for 54 points. Mark now has a total of 117 points and currently shares second place in the table with Paul '1080Sniper' Storey-Smith, who improved on last week's ninth place finish to secure fifth this time around and win 85 points.
In the background, League VII champion Tom 'Werrrrd' Drew has propelled himself from 17th up to fourth in the table. The Blue Belt picked up 76 points with an eighth place finish and now has a total of 158 points.
