Nottingham Live: Six of the Best




The Black Belt Live events are renowned for their added value, and this year's upcoming Nottingham Live promises to be no different with a lineup of bounties so terrifying that they would make Ivey quiver with fear.

Already confirmed are bracelet winners Richard Ashby and Marty Smyth, as well as all three reigning Black Belt Live Champions. Also joining the ranks will be League Champion Stephen 'FalconAyr' Dickson.

However, they're not alone as six of Black Belt Poker's finest warriors will similarly be on the 'Wanted: Dead or Alive' list, although we'd prefer them to fall into the 'Alive' category if possible.

Ambushing Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club will be Brighton's most fearsome army, made up of Blue Belts Ben Meredith, Jamie Burland, Kevin Williams and Black Belt Sam Razavi. Between them, they boast a near million in live tournament winnings, two UKIPT victories... and one Roshambo title.

Flying the flag for the London faithful will be Black Belt Poker co-founders Neil Channing and Nik Persaud.

An online pro and celebrated poker coach, Nik has collated 427,262 in winnings, and is the 2010 World Heads-Up Poker Champion. We've also heard he can defeat tables of more than one opponent.

Neil, meanwhile, has won an incredible $3.3 million, including the 2008 Irish Open, 2010 London GUKPT and runner-up finishes in two WSOP events. He's also famed for his presence in the high stakes cash games at the Vic, who once rang round the hospitals when Neil decided to take a night off.

Together, they will be gracing the Nottingham Live felt this August 10-12, and looking to add a Black Belt Live title to their already impressive résumé.

To take advantage, you need to be a minimum of Orange Belt on the day of the event. If you eliminate a bounty, you will receive $100, whilst Purple Belts earn a free Samurai seat worth $250+25.

Nottingham Live is a $200+20 Main Event. Registration is exclusively via the Black Belt Poker cardroom: Scheduled > Black Belt Tournaments > Day 1A/B Nottingham Live 2012.

If you attempt to buy in via another cardroom, then you may struggle.

Alternatively, you can purchase a token in the Black Belt Poker Store, or qualify through one of our three weekly satellites.

The current bounties are as follows:

Ben Meredith
Jamie Burland
Kevin Williams
Marty Smyth
Neil Channing
Nik Persaud
Peter Wigglesworth
Richard Ashby
Sam Razavi
Sonny Pomroy
Stephen Dickson
Stuart Hyson

They might not look like much, but confidence is high, and space in the cabinet has been cleared for a new arrival - it's up to you to stop them. You can even have the chocolate bar for your troubles.
