Winning With Fennesse-y


This week's League winner was a familiar face to the Vegas 11.

Earlier in the year, Sean 'Snotterz' Fennessey won one of 30 guaranteed seats in iPoker's mega WSOP satellite, and so joined fellow Black Belt Poker qualifiers Greg Moore and Jeremy Rickard in the Main Event in Vegas.

In a one-off deal unique to Black Belt Poker, if any of our qualifiers finished in the money, we'd buy them into next year's Main Event as an added bonus. Although Greg Moore achieved that feat - ultimately finishing 157th for $54,851 - Sean was close, but no cigar when he departed on Day 3.

However, he's bounced back with a vengeance in this week's Super Tuesday to snap up Leg 5 of League XI for $114.00. In the process, he overcame 75 others, including 'nickhem1' and 'mork1971', both of whom were enjoying their second League final table in as many weeks.

1st Snotterz -- $114.00
2nd Touagorimou -- $76.00
3rd JosseWales -- $47.50
4th Werrrrd -- $36.10
5th UliKoko -- $28.50
6th mork1971 -- $22.80
7th Ourkid888 -- $19.00
8th nickhem1 -- $15.20
9th sprinterz -- $11.40
10th SUGGADADDI -- $9.50

Sean's triumph didn't enable him to break into the top 10, those honours instead being left to 'sceaga2' and 'dajaroo' whose 16th and 13th place finishes were enough to see them to sneak into the prize spots.

At the top, 'myteamouse' remains on his throne despite a disappointing (by his high standards) 31st, whilst 'KBV1TALS' has closed the gap to just 10 points after being eliminated in 15th.

By this stage, the men are usually being sorted from the boys, but there is still a ferocious battle going on for those two other Nottingham Live seats. 'Nickhem1''s second 8th place finish means he jumps to 3rd, whilst 'ourkidsid', 'RykanShadow', 'tristiano' and '1894IAIN' are all still in contention.

1st myteamouse -- 497 points
2nd KBV1TALS -- 487 points
3rd nickhem1 -- 436 points
4th BoatDrink -- 426 points
5th 1894IAIN -- 414 points
6th tristiano -- 403 points
7th dajaroo -- 401 points
8th RykanShadow -- 396 points
9th sceaga2 -- 393 points
10th ourkidsid -- 388 points

With the top four failing to pull away, and three legs still remaining, it's still feasible for the chasing pack to enjoy a late surge and win free entry into the Nottingham Live, as well as a last-longer for the London Live.

11th Mrdroodle -- 381 points
12th Essxhg -- 359 points
13th BoraBoraBoy -- 354 points
14th Perseus10 -- 353 points
15th StakattakBBP -- 346 points
16th mavperth -- 343 points
17th Ourkid888 - 341 points
18th Touagorimo -- 341 points
19th PaulFauret -- 336 points
20th stevegw -- 334 points

60 minutes after the starting whistle blew for the League, the latest Nottingham Live satellite commenced with 22 players battling it out for that one guaranteed seat. He may have enjoyed League glory, but Snotterz picked up the wooden spoon on this occasion, tree-topping honours being left to Nick 'Penfold666' Mazur who became the first player to secure a trip to Dusk Till Dawn for just $3.

1st NPenfold666 -- Nottingham Live seat
2nd ACarey -- $8.00
3rd Pickwell73 -- $4.80
4th BigClub1980 -- $3.20

The day prior, the $10 satellite enjoyed a small, but valuable overlay as just 13 players took a shot. The eventual winner was Purple Belt Chris 'seven7777777s' Brider, whilst poor 'discostu241' will be forced to return to The Simpsons empty-handed after bubbling in second.

Tonight is another feast of poker action as both the $15+1.5 Deepstack Mulligan and the $20+2 Nottingham Live satellite (two seats guaranteed) hit our virtual screens, simultaneously kicking off at 8.30.
