Alan Steers to Victory in Leg 4


This week, Super Tuesday returned for another thrilling night of poker festivities as the Black Belt Poker League reached its halfway point. Leg 4 attracted 80 runners in all, many of whom were still in with a chance of mounting a late attack on the league standings.

With Andrew 'thehingster' Hingston bubbling in eleventh, we were left with our final table and a completely different lineup to last week… except for one man: Bob 'myteamouse' Bulman, who impressed yet again with a fifth place finish to go with his victory seven days prior.

On this occasion, the podium ceremony was left to the following trio of attendees: 'bagpussrocks', '1894IAIN' and, finally, Alan 'tealcSVU' Steer, who (ahem) steered to victory for a $120.00 payday.

1st tealcSVU -- $120.00
2nd 1894IAIN -- $80.00
3rd bagpussrocks -- $50.00
4th Essxhg -- $38.00
5th myteamouse -- $30.00
6th RykanShadow -- $24.00
7th BoraBoraBoy -- $20.00
8th nickhem1 -- $16.00
9th mork1971 -- $12.00
10th eixip50 -- $10.00

Myteammouse's consecutive final table appearances means that he extends his lead at the top and now sits on a healthy 451 points, 26 ahead of his nearest competitor. The top three remain the same, perhaps suggesting that the most competitive battle will be the one for that fourth Dusk Till Dawn seat. Currently, several players are in contention including 'nickhem1', 'RykanShadow' and '1894IAN', who replaced Leg 2 winner 'tristiano' in fourth after his third place finish.

1st myteamouse -- 451 points
2nd KBV1TALS -- 425 points
3rd BoatDrink -- 383 points
4th 1894IAIN -- 367 points
5th nickhem1 -- 363 points
6th tristiano -- 353 points
7th ourkidsid -- 351 points
8th RykanShadow -- 341 points
9th Mrdroodle -- 339 points
10th Perseus10 -- 338 points

Also still in with a shout of snapping up a star prize and securing one of four seats into the inaugural Nottingham Live are the following motley crew, including serial Leg winner Mike 'sceaga2' Shaw:

11th dajaroo -- 337 points
12th sceaga2 -- 332 points
13th stevegw -- 332 points
14th PaulFauret -- 328 points
15th StakattakBBP -- 323 points
16th Essxhg -- 323 points
17th BoraBoraBoy -- 310 points
18th Ste4dy3ddie -- 303 points
19th paul6543 -- 302 points
20th mavperth 298 points

For those wondering what happened to the Mulligan… it's been moved, to 8.30pm every Wednesday. This week, top honours when to 'mutesuperstar'... who refused an interview.

1st mutesuperstar -- $90.00
2nd paul6543 -- $54.00
3rd bagpussrocks -- $36.00

Throughout the week, we've also been hosting Nottingham Live satellites, where players can qualify for the year's most fun-filled poker event for as little as $3. Monday's $10 freezeout was won by the curiously named 'SKULLMANglobal'…

1st SKULLMANglobal -- Nottingham Live seat
2nd ujokingme -- $60.00
3rd retxabam -- $36.00
4th plusEVldn -- $24.00

… whilst Tuesday's $3 rebuy saw Kevin 'S0lution' Birt lap up a seat for just $9 with fourth place finisher 'MajorMustard' almost achieving the feat without the need for a rebuy.

1st S0lution -- Nottingham Live seat
2nd Snotterz -- $35.00
3rd ACarey -- $21.00
4th MajorMustard -- $14.00

Then, one day later, 13 players turned up to compete for a further two spots. With two seats guaranteed, the event boasted a nice little overlay, and once again showcased the value on offer. 'Brigal19' and 'Touagorimou' were the welcome recipients.

1st brigal19 -- Nottingham Live seat
2nd Touagorimou -- Nottingham Live seat

Finally, congratulations to former Grader Andy 'RedKiteBlackBelt' Brisland for besting a field of 133 to take down last night's White Belt Freeroll. Tonight sees $100 added to the Yellow Belt Freeroll, so don't miss out.

And that's a wrap, folks, for another week. Join us again next time for what should be another hectic week of pokers, including Leg 5 of the League, three Nottingham Live satellites, the Yellow and White Belt Freerolls, the Deepstack Mulligan and our 'Slice of the Action' Orange Belt Freeroll in which the winners will receive a piece of Sam Razavi's action in the London EPT.

He won four Orange Belts over $16,000 last time - could be worth a go…
