The 2011 World Series of Poker was a mixed bag for Black Belt Poker; although a torrid run of bad beats and cold cards left some of our players without a cash, we were graced with three final tables courtesy of Richard Ashby's double and Warren Wooldridge's memorable third place finish.
For the members of the Vegas Prize Fund, however, there's no doubt that this was a lucrative Series.
Earlier in the year, we served up an unbeatable offer: earn or maintain Orange Belt or above in the months of May and June and receive a free share of the Vegas 11's WSOP winnings for five pre-selected tournaments.
For many, this was merely business as usual, and a free slice of the Vegas pie; for others, it was an opportunity to test the Belt-Up Rewards system and taste the many benefits of playing with Black Belt Poker.
In all, our sponsored pros enjoyed the following cashes, 3% of which was destined for the Vegas Prize Fund.
Event 43: Adam Latimer -- $2,815 (260th)
Event 54: Jerome Bradpiece -- $3,088 (184th)
Event 54: Kevin Williams -- $6,012 (78th)
Event 54: Warren Wooldridge -- $288,946 (3rd)
In addition, WSOP Warrior Master League winner Hasmukh Khodiyara donated 1% of his winnings before cashing twice:
Event #54 -- $2,347 (338th)
Event #56 -- $18,346 (34th)
Black Belt Poker therefore locked up a juicy $300,861 into the vault, $9,232.76 of which made its way into the Vegas Prize Fund.
In all, 127 eligible Black Belt Poker players have each earned $72.70 from the comfort of their own armchair.
If you are one of those 127, then claiming your prize couldn't be easier: simply log in to the community and click the link at the foot of our Vegas Prize Fund page before Sunday, August 14. We'll then credit your Black Belt Poker account either on or before Friday, 19 August.
We're constantly looking for reasons to give our players money. Only two months ago, our four 'Slice of the Action' Orange Belt Freeroll winners won in excess of $16,000 thanks to Sam Razavi who took down UKIPT Cork for €46,710.
