'Bas2604': Straight Ahead

 Amid the opening week of Nottingham Live satellites, the Black Belt Poker League pulled up on Tuesday for the second leg of its fifteenth outing, players competing for a package to Dusk Till Dawn and the chance to compete at the live felt.

With Berajo picking up the bubble, 20 players were guaranteed a reward, of which included Blue Belt Jamie StilettoMafiosa Burland and reigning Nottingham Live Champion Stuart diiscostu Hyson.

However, despite the fierce competition, it was a Yellow Belt who triumphed, Bradley bas2604 Straight topping a 113-strong field after defeating Mike sceaga2 Shaw heads-up for the $152.55 booty.

As a result, he's now secured a seat in the Second Chance SNG - alongside last week's winner Bruce UsainZeus88 Jones - and will be guaranteed a shot at a Nottingham Live seat whether he captures the overall crown or not.
