Malone Brings It Home


 
The third installment of iPOPS [iPoker's Online Poker Series] made its welcome return last night with the opening $200,000 guaranteed event.

A total of 1,707 players parted with the $200+15 buy-in fee, but when the cyber smoke had cleared and the virtual dust settled, it was Black Belt Poker player Martin OMGDannyRudd Marlone who stood triumphant.

A 28-year old pro from Southampton, Martin is an MTT specialist who plays anything from $5 rebuys upwards. In 2011, he made back-to-back final tables in the $200K GTD, including victory on Christmas Day.

This year, Christmas arrived even earlier as Martin found $34,141.28 credited to his Black Belt Poker account.

In all, 42 players played through Black Belt Poker including Sensei Neil Channing, Jamie Burland, Toby Lewis, and recent WPT hero Jerome Bradpiece. Seven made the money, one of whom was Orange Belt Nick nickhem1 Hemming.

1st  OMGDannyRudd -- $34,141.28
77th  SlipperyKing -- $394.74
128th  Bluegooner1 -- $288.05
143rd  nickhem1 -- $277.38
163rd  originalcynic -- $245.38
199th  myteamouse -- $213.37
217th  45683ah -- $202.70

However, it was Martin who took top honours.

"I've played with Martin in live comps a couple of times," revealed Channing who departed in a disappointing 567th , "and he's modest about his talent. A good player."

If you'd like to follow in Martin's footsteps, then be sure to check out the remaining iPOPS schedule, continuing tomorrow with the No Limit Hold'em turbo rebuy.

The buy-in is $40+4 and can be located under the iPOPS 3 $1,000,000 tab.
