Gorilla Warfare in Leg 3


Breaking news: I won the office sweepstake! And my prediction of 118 for that evening's Black Belt Poker League was right on the nose and would have earned me a bonus prize on Bruce's Price is Right. As it was, I was forced to settle for £2 (50p of which was my initial investment), which although was a welcome addition to the coffee fund, paled in comparison to the booty collected by Leg 3 winner Anthony BoraBoraBoy Giuntini who saw his digital count rise by $147.52.

A proud member of Koddzilla's Carps, Anthony played the recent Black Belt Nottingham Live dressed as a gorilla in a bid to earn some extra dough for Cancer Research, but whilst he fell short on that occasion, there was no monkeying around on Tuesday as he defeated a tough final table that included former League Champion Adam JHobbit1 Saunders, and also unknown entity Essxhg who was appearing in his second final table after finishing sixth last week.

Further down the list, Leg 1 and 2 winners Mark SebastianKat Cooper and Shaun TableKnight Herran-Venables came 101st and 97th respectively, whilst reigning League Champion Mark bornTOflirt Atkinson fell in 52nd. Last week's League leader, kippery, came 54th.

1st BoraBoraBoy -- $147.52
2nd AlRawling -- $100.30
3rd bas2604 -- $76.70
4th StakattakBBP -- $54.57
5th Essxhg -- $38.35
6th paul6543 -- $30.97
7th JHobbit1 -- $25.07
8th pbsef81 -- $20.65
9th Nanoplankton -- $16.22
10th G3OFF -- $14.16
11th Gums1981 -- $14.16
12th BoatDrink -- $14.16
13th BarnabasStinson -- $12.39
14th HesGot2Aces -- $12.39
15th whosurmama -- $12.39

A total of 178 players have tackled this opening trio of legs, but only one has empty space above him: Allan AlRawling Rawling, whose second place finish sees him leapfrog the likes of Sarrannedipity, Mrdroodle and BoatDrink into pole position with 349 points. Having said that, nemesis BoraBoraBoy is breathing down his neck like a parched parrot with 347.

1st AlRawling -- 349 points
2nd BoraBoraBoy -- 347 points
3rd kippery -- 340 points
4th Essxhg -- 329 points
5th JHobbit1 -- 329 points
6th Sarannedipity -- 315 points
7th Touagorimou -- 311 points
8th BubbleCloud -- 309 points
9th Mrdroodle -- 304 points
10th BoatDrink -- 293 points

11th TeamPokerTourUK -- 292 points
12th Nanoplankton -- 290 points
13th TheSimian -- 290 points
14th ZoeRiZZ0 -- 287 points
15th clevski1 -- 284 points
16th NPStars1 -- 16 points
17th russellhansen -- 278 points
18th wondrwman -- 273 points
19th FlopTheNuts77 -- 270 points
20th BarnabasStinson -- 269 points

In this week's Deepstack Mulligan, Kevin S0lution Birt rectified his bubble chagrin from seven days previous to take down Wednesday's outing. He unknowingly swapped places with dionysian who topped the podium last week.

1st S0lution -- $135.00 (50 points)
2nd SvenBenson66 -- $90.00 (30 points)
3rd Nanoplankton -- $45.00 (10 points)
4th JHobbit1 -- $30.00 (5 points)
5th dionysian (5 points)

Victory will like have come have somewhat of a relief for S0lution, as he bubbled that evening's Barney Rubble Orange Belt Freeroll. His conquerers won a total of nine tournament tokens between them into the daily $6K GTD event with Black Belt Poker doubling any winnings.

1st HammerHorror -- 5 tokens
2nd eixip50 -- 3 tokens
3rd tristiano -- 1 token
