On Thursday evening, Black Belt Poker hosted its second ever Grab a Grand, a quarterly freeroll exclusive to players who have maintained Orange Belt or above for a minimum of two consecutive months.
Once again, first prize served up a sumptuous buffet with the overall winner feasting on a cool $1,000 in online tournaments including the Samurai ($250+25) and $200,000 Guaranteed Sunday Blast ($100+9).
The eventual winner was Owen 'Ruaction' Robinson. He topped a 41-strong field that included tough opposition such as Bruce 'UsainZeus88' Jones, Kevin 'S0lution' Birt, and Paul 'paul6543' Romain.
A former Blue Belt from Ireland, Owen is a multiple UKIPT finalists, boasting a fourth place finish in the 2010 Nottingham leg for £21,400. The same year, he won two trophies at the Irish Open Awards: 'Break Out Year' and 'Player of the Year'.
"It's a very generous promotion," commented Owen, " and there can't be too many small-field freerolls with a $1,000 first prize. I didn't get to play the last Samurai tournament but I heard it was a lot of fun and it'll be good to play a decent buy-in six-max event.
"It'll also be nice to freeroll a Sunday with the Warm-Up and Sunday Blast ticket in the bag; hopefully I can convert the prize into an even bigger number. The Monday Night Omaha is a good one too and gets a lot of qualifiers. Surely there is no way I'll brick the lot, is there?..."
Our third Grab a Grand freeroll will take place in September. If you would like to compete for $1,000 in online tournaments and play in high buy-in events for juicy prizes, then make sure you hold onto that Belt for two months.
Even if you're a new member, there's still plenty of time for you to qualify. For example, if you make it to Orange Belt before July 1 and maintain for August and September, you'll get to play our Grab a Grand III. Easy.
Final Results:
1st Ruaction -- $1,000 tournament package
2nd tristiano -- $300 tournament package
3rd UliKoko -- $100 tournament package
