Black Belt Blog: League XIV: Mix-Up in Leg 4

This week once again saw the Black Belt Poker League grace the cyber felt, as 83 hopefuls battled it out for a spot in the end-of-season Second Chance SNG, and some vital-as-always points in the overall standings.

As with last week's shenanigans, it was a debutant winner who emerged from the smoke as top dog, mikeymixitup morphing his $5.50 investment into $121.00 and donning the temporary seven-day crown.

Close, but no cigar was Anthony BoraBoraBoy Giuntini in second, whilst fellow Orange Belt Tony 7onyB Booth lapped up the bronze medal in third. Further down the list, last week's victor Chris SchnauzerSoze04 Cope came in at 71st, whilst reigning League Champion Adam JHobbit1 Saunders departed in an equally uncharacteristic 53rd.

Such eliminations meant that the final table boasted some new faces, and a completely fresh lineup from the week prior:

1st mikeymixitup -- $121.00
2nd BoraBoraBoy -- $81.40
3rd 7onyB -- $61.60
4th losbert40 -- $41.80
5th RiverSiren -- $30.80
6th JosseWales -- $23.10
7th PhilDee64 -- $18.70
8th sandy1611 -- $15.40
9th 10Royals -- $13.20
10th ourkidsid -- $11.00
11th 4KSuited -- $11.00
12th Cursonator -- $11.00

Bambury's 60th place has led to a changing of the guards at the top of the standings with Sean 10Royals Lassman leading the way by a mere four points after sneaking onto the final table. Jamie doochats White remains in second, whilst Steve gnomeeee Cash jumps to third.

1st 10Royals -- 261 points
2nd doochats -- 257 points
3rd gnomeeee -- 250 points
4th russellhansen -- 249 points
5th ourkidsid -- 237 points

7th BoatDrink -- 231 points
8th Touagorimou -- 223 points
9th 7onyB -- 221 points
10th liquidpoker101 -- 220 points

11th myteamouse -- 220 points
12th Bambury -- 218 points
13th PhilDee64 -- 216 points
14th mikeymixitup -- 215 points
15th TeeDeeEye1 -- 206 points
16th BoraBoraBoy -- 204 points

In other news, this week's Orange Belt Freeroll drew 43 to the site, Mulligan king Kevin S0lution Birt extending his repertoire with a first place finish, thus earning him a piece of Neil Channing in this year's Irish Open. If you're going to have a percentage of someone in an event, then a former Champion is always a good start.

2nd Sarannedipity -- $50 sponsorship
3rd nickhem1 -- $25 sponsorship
4th Snotterz -- $25 sponsorship

30 minutes later, 16 warriors crossed swords in the Deepstack Mulligan. This week's honour went to an in-form Hasmukh 45683ah Khodiyara, who added to the circa $15,000 he won in a recent MicroMillions event.

1st 45683ah -- $108.00 (50 Belt Points)
2nd Bambury -- $72.00 (30 Belt Points
3rd S0lution -- $36.00 (10 Belt Points)

Of course, the action doesn't end there, as tonight sees the latest Samurai satellite grace our screens. If you fancy playing a $250+25 event with a $10,000 guarantee, then don't miss out on your chance to qualify for the reduced fee of $30+3. The action kicks off at 20:30, and will include losbert40, who secured his seat in a $5+0.50 feeder earlier in the week.
