No Chop for Lamonby

 
It was all systems go this week as the Black Belt Poker League returned to Super Tuesday, this time offering two lucky players a free seat into Samurai, an exclusive $250+25 freezeout with a $10,000 guaranteed prize pool.

A total of 117 were determined to get off to the best possible start, but only one could achieve that goal: Orange Belt Paul 2LAMCHOP2 Lamonby, who less than a week ago had earned a free one-to-one session with acclaimed coach Jared Tendler courtesy of the Mental Mayhem Orange Belt Freeroll.

This score, however, netted him $146.29 in spondoolies, while second place finisher Mark VBlueBBP Varela received $99.45. Failing to make the money but finishing in a credible 33rd place was reigning League Champion Mark bornTOflirt Atkinson.

With just one leg in the bag and extra points for making the final table, it's not too late for you to join in if you missed Leg 1. The League is open to all Yellow Belts and above, and takes place every Tuesday at 19:30.

Also enjoying fruitful times is Adam JHobbit1 Saunders, who completed an impressive double by taking down the Deepstack Mulligan and Orange Belt Freeroll in the same night. For the latter, he's earned $100 of sponsorship in Neil Channing as he heads to Dublin for the Irish Open in a bid to repeat his winning performance from the 2008.
