High, Wide & 'Russellhansen'

 
It's time to return to the shadows as Ninja reached its exciting conclusion this weekend with its latest champion crowned.

A total of 57 entered the Main Event battlefield, a $50+5 No Limit Hold'em Freezeout with a $2,500 guaranteed prize pool.

A plethora of names from the community donned their hood including Jerome Bradpiece, Green Belt Peter Brown and reigning League Champion Bob Bulman.

However, when the dust had settled and the smoke cleared it was Mark russellhansen Brassington who captured the illustrious title and claimed his throne.

His final opponent was none other than Black Belt Poker co-founder and former Irish Open Champion Neil Channing.

"Mark played a great game," complimented Channing in defeat. "He bashed me up heads-up and deserved to win. Not bad work from a satellite."

Mark earned $912 from a mere $8.80 investment, having emerged as one of seven qualifiers from Saturday's Mega satellite.

Fifth place PLWashy took the same route, while KBV1TALS created $287.85 from dust after winning a Ninja Season Ticket in the League Second Chance SNG.

Ninja was a mini-series of affordable tournaments exclusive to Black Belt Poker. Each tournament was hosted by a Black Belt Poker pro with assassins earning a free seat into Sunday's $50+5 Main Event.

Orange Belt Derek PastiemanCnaC Pascoe took an impressive two scalps, while AlbusBB scooped both the bounty and first prize in Friday's Ninja #5 Omaha event.

Many thanks to everyone who joined the party, but don't forget that the action doesn't end there. Tonight at 19:30 is the opening leg of League XXII with entry available via Scheduled > Black Belt Tournaments > League XXII.
