This week, players were once again cordially invited to dine on a feast of value and taste the incredible offers being served at Chez Black Belt Poker.
The entrée for the evening was the return of the Black Belt Poker League, celebrating its milestone fifteenth outing with the same fantastic offers that have made is such a permanent fixture among the community.
First prize this time around is an amazing package to the recently announced Nottingham Live, with all leg winners competing for a seat in the Second Chance SNG. Meanwhile, anyone who participates in all eight legs will receive 200 Belt Points just for turning up!
119 took their seat at the table for the opening course, including Black Belt Poker pros Neil Channing, Jamie Burland and Ross Jarvis. Also present was Gary browndog0 Brown who was playing the first of his eight free tickets courtesy of the Season Ticket Giveaway.
The former Champions were also suited and booted and ready to dig their fork into the meaty action: 99Ranny, JHobbit1, bornTOflirt, Werrrrd, StilettoMafiosa, ChipRead77, TeeDeeEye1, russellhansen, myteamouse and reigning Champion Craig ChipRead77 McKelvie.
McKelvie's crown-defending venture got off to a lukepawarm start when he finished in 57th; the tree-topping honours instead went to Bruce UsainZeus88 Jones who bested a tough final table - that included Black Belt and UKIPT Champion Sam KODDZILLA Razavi - to knock back the $160.65 first prize.

This week witnessed more action than a first date with yours truly, but next week is set to be even more turbulent with the start of our Nottingham Live Satellites, kicking off with a $15+1.50 freezeout at 20:00 on Monday with one seat guaranteed. There will also be a $5+0.50 feeder at 21:00 into Wednesday's $30+3 satellite, in which we'll be guaranteeing an incredible two seats.
And, of course, the League will be back for its second leg at the usual time of 19:30. With only one leg in the bag, there's still time for you to make your mark, but be quick; UsainZeus88 is running hotter than the sun and you can't afford to let him get too far in front.
