It was a Blue Monday this week as three Blue Belts secured their ticket to the World Series of Poker courtesy of the WSOP Experience Mega, a $200+15 satellite with a whopping 50 guaranteed packages up for grabs.
Jamie Burland, Andy Miles and Kevin Williams receive $1,500 in live tournament backing every month, and now they'll be vying for bracelet-gold in Sin City whilst staying in the luxurious Wynn Casino.
Also qualifying through Black Belt Poker were Mike Hill, Nick Mazur, Darius Demetriou, Christopher Barrow and Fraser MacIntyre, the latter of whom recently finished second in EPT Madrid for €290,000.
Despite recent sunny spells, it was raining value at the virtual felt as just 458 players created a mouth-watering $94,000 overlay. Among them were 50 Black Belt Poker players who formed over 11 percent of the field.
On the previous night, 437 competed over 20 Main Event packages worth $13,500 a piece, thus creating an overlay of $51,500. Once again, Black Belt Poker were out in full force with 51 entrants including Neil Channing, Sam Razavi, and recent iPOPS Live finalist Stuart Guite.
On this occasion, however, the fat lady sang a premature song. Whilst 'GeoUK' and 'iamthevalue' made the top 50, the biggest heartache was felt by Sonny 'Spommo3' Pomroy who missed out by just two spots in 22nd.
Pomroy - who won the inaugural East End Live in May - earned his seat through the WSOP Warrior League promotion where he was Black Belt Poker's highest finisher in 17th, once again a painful two places away from a package.
Having given away $190,000 in the recent iPOPS, you'd have thought iPoker would have learned their lesson, but they were equally generous for their WSOP Megas with a further $145,500 giveaway. That's $335,500 in added value over just three tournaments!
At this year's World Series, Black Belt Poker intend to shower you with yet more money with our Vegas Prize Fund. We expect around eight of our pros to play the $10,000 Main Event, and we've decided to share two percent of any winnings equally amongst our Orange Belts and above.
If this floats your boat, then check out our Rewards page now to see how easy it is to reach Orange Belt and become eligible for the promotion.
