Ninja Week Kicks Off In Style

Ninja got off to a fast and furious start last night as 127 hopefuls took to the cyber felt for the opening event.

The buy-in was $10+1, and the field included Neil Channing, Jamie Burland, and recent LAPT Panama finalist Sam Razavi.

The eventual winner was 'Ka7ieVick', who defeated 'dizzybindon' heads-up to become the first ever Ninja Champion.

'Ka7ieVick' also eliminated host, bounty and recent Nottingham Live II Champion Kevin Williams to earn free entry into Sunday's Main Event.

Running near-parallel to Ninja was an equally inaugural event: Nightly Nifty. Despite smashing the guarantee with 38 players, Black Belt Poker added 250 Belt Points to the prize pool.

After a back and forth heads-up battle, it was former League Champion Mark 'bornTOflirt' Atkinson who took full advantage:

1st bornTOflirt -- 860 Belt Points
2nd pauloc3 -- 602 Belt Points
3rd dizzybindon -- 387 Belt Points
4th nicenutter -- 215 Belt Points
5th Barty1uk -- 86 Belt Points

The Nightly Nifty is braced to return again tonight at 20:30, so if you fancy a spin-up from 50 Belt Points, then purchase your token now from the Black Belt Poker Store. The tournament can be located via the lobby under Scheduled > Black Belt Tournaments.
