The race to Nottingham heated up this Tuesday as 65 players took to the virtual felt for the sixth leg of the latest Black Belt Poker League. With the finishing line in sight, every decision was now vital, and could prove the difference between winning a free seat into the Black Belt Nottingham Live, or being forced to come up with the $125+15 entry fee via other means. Naturally, participants sought the former, and Leg 6 had the potential to separate the close-knit pack currently vying for a free ride.
After former Champion Andy 'RedKiteBlackBelt' Brisland snapped up the bubble, the final table was set, with 10 new faces from last week's line-up. Among them were first-time finalists, as well as debutants in the League.
One of those was 'GOLDENSOMBRE', who despite an incredible performance, wasn't quite able to mark his arrival with a win, ultimately succumbing to Orange Belt Jason 'Elysiumjay' Layland at the death. Consequently, it was 'Elysiumjay' who picked up the $104.01 cheque.
1st Elysiumjay -- $104.01
2nd GOLDENSOMBRE -- $71.50
3rd rustypokerhead -- $43.87
4th SUGGADADDI -- $32.50
5th BoatDrink -- $24.37
6th BigClub1980 -- $19.50
7th insider66666 -- $16.25
8th Mrdroodle -- $13.00
194 players have competed in the League so far, and of them, it's 'myteamouse 'who holds firm at the top with 539 points after a credible 24th place finish. The other members of the top 10 seemed to merely shuffle around with the only new addition being 'MrDroodle'.
1st myteamouse -- 539 points
2nd BoatDrink -- 497 points
3rd KBV1TALS -- 495 points
4th nickhem1 -- 477 points
5th 1894IAIN -- 446 points
6th sceaga2 -- 444 points
7th Mrdroodle -- 443 points
8th tristiano -- 441 points
9th ourkidsid -- 434 points
10th RykanShadow -- 430 points
Breathing down their necks, however, are the following motley crew:
11th dajaroo -- 402 points
12th Touagorimou -- 390 points
13th mavperth -- 386 points
14th BoraBoraBoy -- 383 points

Also last night, we hosted our weekly Deepstack Mulligan...
1st slapdash1248 -- $75.00
2nd Elysiumjay -- $45.00
3rd Snotterz -- $30.00
... preceded by the White Belt Freeroll which attracted a field of 126:
1st D0l14hyd3 -- $13.50
2nd Riverlady23 -- $8.00
3rd 1PedroMex -- $5.00
4th danderfluff -- $4.00

6th daveyation -- $3.00
7th ourkidsid -- $2.50
8th FLYINGPROFISH -- $2.00
9th HERB1DIAN -- $1.50
10th DierDIKKKU -- $1.00
Finally, and perhaps the highlight of what has been an action-packed week, we witnessed the debut of a brand, spanking new Orange Belt Freeroll: The Barney Rubble. If offering a total of nine tournament tokens into the $10+1 $6,000 GTD MTT wasn't enough, Black Belt Poker have also agreed to double any winnings, meaning that if a player happens to take down the event, they could be in for a very handsome payday indeed.
About to set off on that adventure are the following three players:
1st JHobbit1 -- 5 tokens
2nd russellhansen -- 3 tokens
3rd LegendKing1 -- 1 token
