Swords clashed on the Black Belt Poker battlefield this week as Samurai returned for another night of poker warfare.
The last warrior sitting was Ken NPStars1 Johnston who slew Elysumjay heads-up to capture the illustrious title and $4,000 first prize.
In total, 38 players polished their armour to create a $550 overlay. Among the lineup were Richard Ashby, Jerome Bradpiece, David Pomroy and defending Champion Owen Ruaction Robinson.
Having missed out by one spot last time around, Neil Channing came close once again in seventh (aces cracked by fives). The splash of the bubble, however, was felt by Orange Belt PastiemanCnaC.
Making the money, and consequently the final table, were Black Belt Poker sponsored pro Jamie StilettoMafiosa Burland and East End Live II Champion Nik NikStilly Stylianou.
However, it was NPStars1 who reigned supreme. Hailing from Carlisle, Ken qualified for free courtesy of the Purple Belt Freeroll, and then continued momentum with victory in Monday's Nifty at Nine.
Ken also runs popular poker club Northern Poker Stars for players in the North of England and hosts a weekly online League event on Black Belt Poker every Tuesday at 19:30.
"It was indeed a fantastic tournament," beamed Ken, "and that is not a biased opinion. That [the tournament] was tough to take down and I must say that Jason [Elysiumjay] took some getting rid of.
"It was great to see all of the cash remain in the community, with players that support Black Belt week in, week out. $4,000 from a seat won in the PBF [Purple Belt Freeroll] - I love Black Belt!"
The next Samurai will arrive later in the year, but before then we have the return of Ninja this October 21-27. Check out our promotions page for the complete schedule.
