'Dionysian' Strikes in iPOPS #2

 
As Garfield, The Boomtown Rats, and others have already proclaimed, Mondays isn't for everyone, but for Spencer dionysian Lawrence it offered a rather lucrative start to the week as he finished second in the iPOPS High-Roller event for $18,620.

A Purple Belt in the Belt-Up Rewards scheme, 33-year old Spencer was one of five Black Belt Poker players to make the money, of which included Black Belt Neil Channing who finished 23rd.

2nd  dionysian -- $18,620.00
22nd  MixedBag1 -- $798.00
23rd  NeilChanning -- $798.00
30th  prohunter111 -- $731.50
32nd  M4rve11ous -- $731.50

The buy-in was a hefty $350+20 with 380 players creating a $133,000 prize pool, but for Spencer, his investment was even less having qualified for all five iPOPS events via satellites.

Spencer has enjoyed some success of late with multiple victories in the Nifty at Nine and a podium-spot in the League. He's also got a shot at an Irish Open package having become the first player to earn the maximum 12 gift vouchers for the 12 Days of Christmas promotion.

Last night's godlike performance, however, will no doubt prove a welcome addition to the bankroll and supply his confidence with an even greater boost.

"No Limit Hold'em always feels like an away game to me," commented Spencer, whose bread and butter are Non-Hold'em variants. "I'm playing most of the others on their own turf, so doing well feels pretty good.

"I've always boycotted all No Limit Hold'em series, and this is the first time I've cracked because the 12 Days of Christmas promotion was just such good value. Without that there is no way I would have even been in the event, so I guess I owe Neil a beer."

Spencer is the second player to win big on Black Belt Poker after Martin OMGDannyRudd took down Sunday's opening iPOPS event for $34,141.28. If you want to be next, then don't forget to join us tomorrow for event #3.

The buy-in is $40+4 with rebuys and a turbo structure, and can be located in the Black Belt Poker lobby via the iPOPS 3 $1,000,000 tab.
