And It Was All Yellow

When Coldplay sang: 'And it was all yellow,' they must have been referring to Black Belt Poker's League XI - with three legs done and dusted, the top six in the League Standings are all of the Yellow Belt variety.

In fact, Leg 3 winner was Yellow Belt and unknown entity 'myteamouse'. He bettered a field of 110 that included a host of familiar, and rather scary faces, as well as Blue Belts Simon 'AlwaysMissing' Mairs, who 'missed' in 96th, and Brown Belt Sam 'KODDZILLA' Razavi, who escaped the wooden spoon by just one place in 109th.

Instead, the pokers were left to the likes of regulars Carey 'CareybearBBP' Hollick, Darren 'TheZartog' Meredith and Andy 'Mrdroodle' Erskine, all of whom spiked the final table for the umpteenth time. Above them, 'PaulFauret' finished third, whilst runner-up honours were left to 'beltdarkjf' who succumbed to eventual winner 'myteamous'. The reward? $148.50 and 135 juicy league points.

1st myteamouse -- $148.50
2nd beltdarkjf -- $88.00
3rd PaulFauret -- $55.00
4th Mrdroodle -- $44.00
5th rattersbrfc -- $38.50
6th dajaroo -- $33.00
7th 2LAMCHOP2 -- $27.50
8th TheZartog -- $22.00
9th CareybearBBP -- $16.50
10th Loukas1977 -- $11.00
11th kkklwubu2 -- $6.60
12th AngelVickie48 -- $6.60
13th lcm54 -- $6.60
14th Wally19 -- $6.60
15th 1894IAIN -- $6.60
16th DididavidBEL09 -- $6.60
17th KBV1TALS -- $6.60
18th PKRLocke -- $6.60
19th Touagorimou -- $6.60
20th MullionWoman -- $6.60

And those 135 points were just enough to see myteamouse capture the overall lead, with the ever-consistent 'KBVITALS' just one sole point behind after completing a hattrick of top 20 finishes. Behind them, Andy 'BoatDrink' Butcher slips into third, despite bubbling Tuesday's Leg.

1st myteamouse -- 365 points
2nd KBV1TALS -- 364 points
3rd BoatDrink -- 346 points
4th tristiano -- 319 points
5th dajaroo -- 318 points
6th stevegw -- 315 points
7th ourkidsid -- 304 points
8th Ste4dy3ddie -- 303 points
9th PKRLocke -- 287 points
10th nickhem1 -- 286 points

Just a few points separate the next batch, which includes Leg 1 winner 'jymjam' (who was mysteriously absent this week) and 'Ste4dy3ddie' who has lived up to his name with finishing positions of 10th, 43rd and 24th. Currently seated in that fourth Nottingham Live seat spot, however, is last week's champ Tristan 'tristiano' Chaplin, who although dropped a place this week, is still in a strong position after a credible 27th place exit.

11th Mrdroodle -- 285 points
12th Perseus -- 272 points
13th 1894IAIN -- 270 points
14th sceaga2 -- 267 points
15th paul6543 -- 264 points
16th PaulFauret -- 260 points
17th RykanShadow -- 258 points
18th doochats -- 255 points
19th StakattakBBP -- 254 points
20th mavperth -- 254 points

There are still five legs remaining, so be sure to watch out for these three pokateers too:

21st lcm54 -- 252 points
23rd jymjam -- 252 points
27th CareybearBBP -- 235 points

Normally, this is the point where I say that the Mulligan followed 60 minutes later, but this week, we increased that delay to 24 hours and experimented with a debuting Wednesday Mulligan. 20 runners didn't quite match the record-breaking 42 of two weeks prior, but it created a cool $150.00 first prize, which went to Paul 'paul6543' Romain.

1st paul6543 -- $150.00
2nd ourkidsid -- $90.00
3rd nickhem1 -- $60.00
