Udell Scores in Leg 4

 
With Aston Villa on a downhill slide, Steve HoldenderCnaC Udell finally found something to cheer about when he took down the latest event in the Black Belt Poker League.

In all, 72 players parted with their $5+0.50 in order to vie for gold and a boost in the overall standings, with the eventual Champion after eight legs receiving 10 boarding passes for The 12 Days of Summer promotion.

The final table on this occasion boasted a fresh-faced lineup with runner-up MFroce16 the only former finalist. Soaked by the bubble was RedKiteBlackBelt, while TeeDeeEye1 endured a minor shower one rung down.

Not too far behind is Sarannedipity whose fifteenth saw her jump to third, while liquidpoker101 remains in contention in fourth. Jamie Burland's bracelet hunt in Vegas means he drops out of the top ten.

Cashes Mean Passes

 
If you're lovin' the summer and having yourself a blast then brace yourself for some summer nights on Black Belt Poker.

"Tell me more, tell me more," I hear you cry.

Well-a, well-a, well-a...

… Starting tonight, we're going to be handing out boarding passes to anyone who can cash in the $5,000 GTD event.

The tournament takes place at 19:30 and can be located in the lobby under Scheduled > $5,000 Freezeout.

The buy-in is $10+1, but you can also purchase a token in the Black Belt Poker Store for 330 Spending Points.

This offer will be available every week, so if you fall foul of Lady Luck tonight you'll have another shot at a boarding pass next Tuesday.

And that's not all. If the weather isn't quite hot enough yet, you can add an extra layer in the $80+8 Sunday Warm-Up. Each week at 16:00, we'll be be giving away a boarding pass to anyone who makes the money in this event too.

That's two chances to start, or add to, your collection every single week.

Boarding passes are required to participate in The 12 Days of Summer promotion, in which we'll be giving away great prizes including a £2,500 live tournament package.

For each boarding pass, you'll receive a token into the daily $3,000 GTD $5+0.50 freezeout during the first 12 days of August.

You will then earn prizes dependent on how many times you make the money. And no one goes away empty-handed; even if you don't cash a single time, you'll still win a prize.

Also taking place tonight is the third leg of the latest Black Belt Poker League in which the overall Champion will win a cool 10 boarding passes.

The action starts at 19:30. Remember, even if you haven't played a single leg before, you can still win big courtesy of the Second Chance SNG in which all leg winners compete for the same star prize.

It's all happening so fast, so get on board now.

See our promotions page for more information on The 12 Days of Summer and the different ways of accruing boarding passes.

Sunny Spells in League XX

 
For the 20th Black Belt Poker League, we're inviting you to blow the dust off your suitcase and unearth the flip flops as we give players the chance to escape the British summer and jet off to warmer climates.

This time, the overall Champion will receive 10 boarding passes for the recently announced The 12 Days of Summer promotion, in which players will compete for an array of prizes including a tournament voucher worth £2,500, to be used either on home soil or abroad.

If this is the first time you've heard of the promotion, then click here now to check out all the information. Among the prizes will be summery rewards from suntan lotion to a luxury picnic food hamper.

As usual, the League will run over eight legs, taking place every Tuesday at 19:30. The event can be located in the lobby under Scheduled > Black Belt Tournaments. You can also buy in using Spending Points by purchasing a token in the Black Belt Poker Store.

Points for each leg will be awarded in reverse order, so that in a 50-runner event, 50th would earn 1 point, and 1st 50 points. The top 10 finishers per leg receive the following additional points:

2nd         18 Points

We're also offering all leg winners who fell short one final bite of the cherry in a Second Chance SNG. The SNG will take place the week following the final leg of the League on Tuesday, July 30, with the last man sitting reaping the same rewards as the overall Champion.
This means that even if you're in last place with just one leg to go, you still have a chance of winning the star prize!

And it doesn't end there. Anyone who manages to sweet-talk the Mrs. (or Mr.) and escape to the computer to play all eight league legs will be rewarded with an additional 150 Belt Points. That's extra value just for turning up, regardless of your final position in the standings!

The Grass Is Always Greener...

 
Recently Black Belt Poker drove Purple Belt into the pit stop for some fine-tuning, and this month we've decided to subject Green to the same treatment.

The biggest change is that Green Belt now requires just 4,500 Belt Points to achieve and maintain, thus making it a much more accessible accolade to obtain.

Once you've reached your goal and have that Green Belt strapped around your waist, not only will you be treated to all the same fantastic freerolls and promotions as Orange and Purple, but you'll also be eligible for our latest incredible offer.

Starting this month, players will be able to purchase tournament packages and vouchers in the Black Belt Poker Store at a 40-percent discounted price.

That's not a typo - we're slashing prices by a whopping 40 percent and giving you the chance to play in high buy-in tournaments such as the UKIPT, GUKPT and Black Belt Live for a bargain-bucket price.

This offer is available exclusively to Green Belts, meaning that only players at your level will be able to take advantage.

If you'd prefer to spend your points on multiple events, then we've also added MainEventTravel.com vouchers to our shelves, allowing you to purchase credit from $100 right up to $5,000.

Once ordered, we'll credit your MainEventTravel.com account with the appropriate figure, thus allowing you to spend your points as you wish whether it be on buy-ins, travel, accommodation, or a combination of the three.

This is just one of the many benefits of being Green Belt in the Black Belt Poker Rewards System. Green Belts receive a plethora of other rewards from half price DeucesCracked tokens to weekly shares in our Black Belt Poker pros, as well as an increased points multiplier.

For more information on Green Belt and how to get there, check out our rewards page now.

Green Belt has received some new tyres and an added fuel boost and is raring to go. Why don't you join us for the ride?...
