Return of the Samurai

Samurai are fierce, but noble warriors, known for their loyalty, courage, and ability to bounce back even stronger after suffering a setback or tasting defeat.

On Thursday, August 30, we're giving you another chance to reenter the battlefield and showcase your never-say-die attitude with the return of The Samurai.

To buy in directly, locate the tournament in Scheduled > Black Belt Tournaments > The Samurai and select 'register'. Alternatively, you can purchase a token from the Store with Spending Points.

If you don't yet have an account, then opening one couldn't be easier: simply click here to download the poker client and follow the step-by-step process provided.

The Samurai is Black Belt Poker's biggest online tournament, pitting amateurs and pros alike as they fight it out over a $10,000 guaranteed prize pool. Entry costs $250+25 with players competing with the same weapons: a 5,000 starting stack and 12-minute clock.

Last time, Alan fatty49 Vinson became the first ever Samurai Champion when he defeated 56 others to capture the crown and $4,480 first prize.

The lineup was tougher than a two-dollar steak with the likes of Toby Lewis, Praz Bansi, and Rupert Elder, but there were also 19 qualifiers who earned their seat via Black Belt Poker.

As before, there will be a selection of satellites and feeders into Samurai available via the Black Belt Poker cardroom. Keep your eyes peeled over the coming weeks for further details.

Forget the Seven Samurai, we haven't found a second one yet. Maybe it'll be you...
