Ogilvie Crowned Lord of the Samurai

Last night, 46 poker warriors sharpened their Bushido blades for Samurai, Black Belt Poker's exclusive $250+25 quarterly freezeout with a $10,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Sole surviving Samurai was Fredrik YoungTeddy Ogilvie. He defeated IlikeSpades heads-up to prise open the $4,600 treasure chest, whilst Orange Belt Geoff G3OFF Douglas snuck onto the podium in third.

Lady Luck was seated beside Ogilvie right from the start as he aided the descent of the tournament's first casualty. Victim Keith Stingerz79 Nettleship at least had a bad beat story to accompany his wooden spoon:

All in with A-Ks versus Ah-Kh, Stingerz79 seemed destined for half the pot until a Jh turn teased a Royal Flush draw only for a Th to deal the devastating blow - a river card that would have made even Phil Ivey's poker face wince.

From thereon in, Ogilvie never looked back, capturing the title a few hours later and joining inaugural winner Alan Vinson as one of only two Samurai champions.

A 29-year old poker pro from London, Ogilvie is a cash game stalwart who frequents the Vic, as well as the big cash games in Macau. He has also been nominated as 'Best Cash Player' in this year's British Poker Awards.

The Samurai once again served up a field of both poker pros and amateurs alike, with online qualifiers joining the likes of Ian IFRAZER Frazer, Toby eightenofclub Lewis, and Richard CHUFTY11 Ashby at the virtual felt.

Bubbling the final table in seventh was Shane nobby5 Norman, who had won his seat after dressing up as a clown for Nottingham Live and making the final as one of Koddzilla's Carps. In doing so, he raised $1,900 for Cancer Research.

Squeezing into the money was Adam JHobbit1 Saunders. He cashed for $920, having recently started a thread on the boards titled 'Has the Magic Gone?'. He later added: "I would like to say a big thank you for all your advice and support; just shows I'm in the right site / place anyway."

Many thanks to those who played this month's Samurai - keep your eyes peeled for the confirmed date of Samurai III. Meanwhile, you can catch our League, as always, every Tuesday at 19:30.

BoatDrink Ships Leg 5

It was five alive this week as the Black Belt Poker League returned to the cyber felt. A healthy 95 took their seat, but it was a familiar name that lapped up top honours: Andy BoatDrink Butcher.

Competition was stiff, however: former Champion Mark 99Ranny Ranson finished seventh, and Blue Belt and UKIPT winner Jamie StilettoMafiosa Burland was pipped at the post by the Orange Belt.

As a result, BoatDrink collected $130.67, as well as a spot in our Second Chance SNG, the winner of which will receive a cool 2,500 Belt Points.

1st  BoatDrink -- $130.67
2nd  StilettoMafiosa -- $87.87
3rd  mavperth -- $66.50
4th  mozchops -- $45.12

10th  JKitin -- $11.87
11th  livinginhope2 -- $11.87
12th  UsainZeus988 -- $11.87

In the overall standings, BobbersAllin snatched top spot off ourkidsid after finishing 22nd, whilst Iceman78Danny's 31st place was enough to overtake dionysian into 3rd. But with only 56 points separating the top 10, it's still anyone's game.

1st  BobbersAllin -- 438 points
2nd  ourkidsid -- 422 points

This week sees the return of Samurai, and in last night's satellite, Black Belt Poker guaranteed four seats into the $250+25 Main Event, taking place tonight at 20:00.

The qualifiers were: Elysiumjay, TFMonty007, goneflushfishin, and bornTOflirt, whilst a nice consolation prize of $195.00 went to turnupturnip in fifth.

This left one final path: the Samurai Showdown Orange Belt Freeroll. 51 of Black Belt Poker's finest took a shot, but only one lucky player could walk away with the star prize. That man was Nick nickhem1 Hemming.

1st  nickhem1 -- Samurai seat ($250+25)
2nd  bas2604 -- Samurai satellite seat ($35+3.50)
3rd  LegendKing1 -- Samurai feeder seat ($5+0.50)
4th  tealcSVU -- Samurai feeder seat ($5+0.50)
5th  HammerHorror

The qualifiers might be done and dusted, but this doesn't mean you can't get your feet wet. Direct registration is now available via the tournament lobby and there will also be late registration on offer for any latecomers.

The tournament is guaranteed $10,000 in prize money, so there could be an overlay - be sure to check it out under Scheduled > Black Belt Tournaments > The Samurai.

Finally, the trusted Mulligan was back again, and after a runner-up spot in the previous night's league bout, Jamie Burland proved he's not just a face by besting a field of 20 for a $135.00 payday.

1st  StilettoMafiosa -- $135.00 (200 Belt Points)
2nd  Touagorimou -- $90.00 (60 Belt Points)
3rd  TheZartog -- $45.00 (20 Belt Points)
4th  2LAMCHOP2 -- $30.00 (5 Belt Points)
5th  7onyB (5 Belt Points)

Samurai: Feeder Frenzy

 
The British summer may have finally made its appearance, but this week Black Belt Poker will be spreading a little sunshine of our own with our exclusive online event: Samurai.

Scheduled for 20:00, this Thursday, August 30, Samurai is a $250+25 deepstack freezeout with a $10,000 guarantee. Last time, Alan Vinson collected $4,480 when he captured the inaugural title.

If you would love to become only the second ever Champion, but are working from a limited bankroll, then we have some great news:

On Wednesday, August 29, Black Belt Poker are hosting a one-off Mega Satellite. The buy-in will be $35+3.50 with four seats guaranteed into the following day's Samurai.

In addition, there will be a feeder frenzy leading up to the Mega with $5+0.50 qualifiers running every half an hour on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

The first feeder kicks off tonight at 18:00, followed by a further six feeders with the final one taking place at 21:00. If you want to turn a small acorn of an investment into a giant redwood of a cash prize, then this is the route for you.

Tokens for both the Mega Satellite and preceding feeders are now available in the Store.

Of course, if you have more money than Scooge McDuck and would prefer to skip the qualifiers and buy in directly, then you can do so by locating the tournament in the lobby and selecting 'register'.

The tournament can be found under: Scheduled > Black Belt Tournaments > The Samurai.

Alternatively, you can purchase a token from the Black Belt Poker Store for 8,250 Spending Points.

Good luck on the battlefield.

Leg 4: Making a Staitment

The Black Belt Poker League reached its halfway point this week as 98 battled it out at the cyber felt. The winner would not only secure 123 points, but also a seat in our Second Chance SNG in which all leg winners compete for 2,500 Belt Points.

The fourth player to join the lineup was Orange Belt Bradley bas2604 Staight, who won the second leg of the previous season.

This time, he picked up $134.76 for first prize, just pipping fellow Orange Belt Simon ourkidsid Herrick at the poker post, who improved his seventh place finish last week with a runner-up spot this time around.

Taking bronze was BobbersAllin - who also made his second consecutive final table - whilst close-but-no-cigar places went to Blue Belt Kevin Kevish47 Williams (15th), Leg 3 winner Bruce UsainZeus88 Jones (14th) and bubbleboy Peter Touagorimou Brown (13th).

1st  bas2604 -- $134.76
2nd  ourkidsid -- $90.65
3rd  BobbersAllin -- $68.60
4th  TheZartog -- $46.55

10th  CarpyGAS -- $12.25
11th  thehingster -- $12.25
12th  losbert40 -- $12.25

Ourkidsid's third top 10 finish means he's now 10 points clear at the top, with BobbersAllin slotting into second. Completing the trio of Orange Belts is Spencer dionysian Lawrence, whose 22nd place finish was enough to see him leapfrog Iceman78Danny and Spalding91 into third.

1st  ourkidsid -- 374 points
2nd  BobbersAllin -- 364 points
3rd  dionysian -- 354 points

With the League dust settled, it was time for a slice of deep-stack action in the Mulligan. This week's victor was Paul 2LAMCHOP2 Lamonby, with former League Champion Mark 99Ranny Ranson grabbing second.

1st  2LAMCHOP2 -- $90.00 (50 Belt Points)

Bruce Plays His Cards Right in Leg 3

Nottingham Live may be done and dusted, but it was business as usual on Blackbeltpoker.com this week as the Black Belt Poker League returned for its third leg.

The final table produced a fresh-faced lineup from Leg 2, including Purple Belt and former Champion Bob myteamouse Bulman. Although myteamouse snuck onto the podium, the gold medal went to Bruce UsainZeus88 Jones who pipped MajorMustard at the finishing iine.

1st  UsainZeus88 -- $136.17

12th  a1lecs -- $12.37

With below-par performances from the league leaders, the standings are wide open with Beverley baligirl13 Monks just about holding onto top spot after a 64th finish. Just one point behind is Koddzilla Carp Jon Ourkid888 Laight who leapt from 4th to 2nd after going out in 30th.

UsainZeus88's victory wasn't enough to see him break into the top 20 / prize points, but he at least secured his seat into the Second Chance SNG in which all leg winners will compete for a bonus 2,500 Belt Points.

2nd  TheZartog -- 3 tokens
3rd  eixip50 -- 1 token

The Deepstack Mulligan was back again, this time with a 23-strong field. No Kevin Birt in the top five paved the way for Dean blackbeltkickbox Aldred to capture the temporary crown.

1st  blackbeltkickbox -- $138.00 (50 Belt Points)
2nd  Ourkid888 -- $93.15 (30 Belt Ponts)

Academy: Preflop Aggro!

 Sick of being bullied by more aggressive players? Is the young pro to your left three-betting all your raises? Are you being pushed out of your comfort zone?

If so, then we have the solution.

On Saturday, September 8, the Black Belt Poker team will be on hand to answer all your prayers in our latest Academy: Preflop Aggro - How to Beat the Kids at Their Own Game.

Making its debut at the Genting Casino Mint Cromwell in South Kensington, the Academy will offer players six hours of intensive training with lectures, demonstrations and workshops in smaller groups.

Poker is fast becoming a preflop game, with aggression a common attribute of many of the top players. Our expert mentors will teach you strategies needed to combat aggressive play, as well as developing the skills required to apply pressure yourself.

"A lot of players know full well that a three-bet or even a four-bet from a young hoodie is often nowhere near as strong as it is for regular players," explains head coach Alex Rousso. "The big question is what should they do about it?

"We're going to break down what an aggressive preflop strategy involves, i.e. what sort of hands and situations might justify a light three- or four-bet. Crucially, we're also going to show you how to combat it - and that doesn't always mean fighting fire with fire!"

Tickets remain a bargain-bucket price of just £99, yet the level of training will be top shelf with coaches sharing the many pearls of wisdom that they have gained from their years in the game.

To secure your seat, simply drop us a line at training@blackbeltpoker.com where you'll be guided through the various payment options. Similarly, if you are Green Belt and above, and would like to utilise your free ticket, then contact us at the same address.

Alternatively, you can purchase your seat via the Black Belt Poker Store for the reduced price of 4,250 Spending Points or take a shot at our Enlightenment Freeroll on Wednesday, September 5 in which the winner will earn a free seat.

If you want to keep up with the opposition and take on the kids at their own game, then this Academy is a must. And who knows, maybe in time you will be the one wearing the hoodie and 'bashing up' the table.

Kevin Williams Wins Nottingham Live II

While the sun was shining outside, it was raining value inside Dusk Till Dawn this week as Black Belt Poker returned to the East Midlands armed with a $75,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Nottingham Live II attracted 258 hopefuls over the weekend, but it wasn't enough to reach the guarantee as players were treated to a whopping $23,400 overlay.

After an exciting final day, it was Kevin Williams who prospered most from the added value, defeating Jack Sambrook in a short-but-sweet heads-up battle. In doing so, he scooped the $15,000 first prize as well as a big, shiny trophy.

Williams' achievement was even more admirable when glancing at the field, a fearsome lineup that included Neil Channing, Richard Ashby, Marty Smyth, Paul Jackson, James Keys and reigning Nottingham Live Champion Stuart Hyson.

The tournament had a fun atmosphere, thanks in part to Sam Razavi and Babis Lappas who sponsored six players into the event with the promise of a £2,000 Vegas package if they captured the title. The T&Cs were simple: 50% of their winnings would be donated to Cancer Research and any brave volunteers had to compete in full clown garb.

Kerryjane Craigie kindly donated her entire $200 winnings to the cause after creeping into the money, but last clown standing was Shane Norman who made the final second in chips. He was joined by Black Belt Poker sponsored pros Jerome Bradpiece and Kevin Williams.

The final table was a brisk affair, with Jerome Bradpiece the first domino to fall when his K-Q failed to outgun the A-K of Shane Norman. He was followed by Luke Bindon in eighth whose K-J was out-flipped by Chris Keyworth's 7-7.

Perhaps the most pivotal hand of the final was played out between Kevin Williams and Russ Swift. After Williams opened and Swift defended his big blind, the latter check-raised the As-Kc-8s flop before leading out on the 9d turn and moving all in on the 5d river. Despite his fears, Williams made the call with Ah-Jd and was shown an inferior Kd-Qc to scoop both the pot and the scalp.

Sixth place went to Shane Norman, whose downfall witnessed more drama than an Eastenders omnibus. First, he doubled up Heap in a dramatic hand with A-A versus 7-7 (despite flopping a third bullet!) and then sang his swan song with Q-6 versus the 7-6 of David Craigon on a 5-8-6 flop when the river came a 4. Nevertheless, his efforts netted Cancer Research $1,900.

Two more causalities were forthcoming. Chris Keyworth was unlocked in fifth when his flopped flush draw failed to improve against Kevin Williams' K-K. Matthew Heap was then added to the rail in fourth when his short stack push with 4s-3s was looked up by the Ac-6c of Williams.

Kevin Williams then took out his third consecutive opponent, this time David Craigon whose 9-6 was unraveled by 6-3. A crab on the river brought us to our final two players with Jack Sambrook the underdog and facing a 1.4 to 2.5 chip disadvantage.

Those getting the popcorn in for a long heads-up battle were to be left disappointed; on the very first hand, Sambrook check-raised all in on the turn of 4s-6s-7d-4d board with As-Kh, but was met by a call from Williams who tabled 6d-3d. No change on the river and the fat lady belted out her opening chord.

A Blue Belt on Black Belt Poker, Kevin Williams won no fewer than three Samurai seats worth $250+25 over the weekend, two for eliminating bounties Neil Channing and Peter Wigglesworth, and another for placing in the money. He also became the first bounty to win a Black Belt Live title.

"The inhabitants of my trophy cabinet have been a little lonely of late," commented Williams, "so I'm glad they've finally got a new friend. I was disappointed at how tough the final table was, but now I can laugh at everyone who used up their one time in the Euro Millions lottery."

Nottingham Live II may have reached its exciting conclusion, but the Black Belt tournament bus will back later this month. On Thursday, August 30, the Samurai returns for its second outing, along with a $250+25 buy-in and $10,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Leg 2; A Doddle for 'mrdroodle'

 
The Black Belt Poker League rode into town this week with Andy mrdroodle Erskine firmly in the saddle. He bested a field of 110, which included Black Belt Poker pros Sam Razavi and Jamie Burland.

His final hurdle was Jon Ourkid888 Laight, who is set to play for Cancer Research at Nottingham Live as one of Koddzilla's Carps. Laight took away $93.50 for his troubles, whilst Mrdroodle coliected $137.52.

1st  mrdroodle -- $137.52
2nd  Ourkid888 -- $93.50

Vote BBP: Your Cardroom Needs You

 
Get ready to blow the dust off your tuxedo and buff your 'going out' shoes as the British Poker Awards are back for a third consecutive year.

This time, Black Belt Poker have been voted for 'Best Forum', and with the trophy cabinet a little light of late we'd love some shiny metal to polish.

If you would like to help us achieve that goal, then casting your vote if easy: simply go to thebritishpokerawards.com and tick the relevant boxes.

Once you've submitted your vote, then you'll be thrown into a free draw in which five lucky voters will win a free subscription to Bluff Europe Magazine.

This means you'll get to read my column every single month!

Also nominated is Black Belt Poker co-founder Neil Channing, who has snuck into two categories this year: 'Best Poker Blogger / Social Media' and 'Poker Personality of the Year'.

Despite evading the categories for achievements in actually playing poker, Neil boasts in excess of $3.3 million in tournaments winnings, including an Irish Open title and two runner-up spots in WSOP bracelet events.

But this year he's asking for your support in his off-table antics, in particular the poker world's celebration of his sparkling personality, which is undoubtedly deserving of public recognition.

The Awards ceremony will take place on September 17, with the red carpet being rolled out aboard the Yacht H.M.S. President. If you would to find out in person whether or not Neil and the Black Belt Poker team get to share their acceptance speech, then you can purchase a ticket by clicking here.

Vote now, or forever hold hold your peace. Or wait for next year, of course, when I'm sure Neil's personality and Twitter skills will be equally as impressive as they are this year.

Sam Misses Out on Cash Macau

In the lead up to Nottingham Live II, Sam Razavi proved he was in fine form with a final table appearance at the Asian Poker Tour's latest stop in Macau.

Despite a promising start to the final, he ultimately finished in ninth place for $14,257.

Hosted by the StarWorld Casino - home to some of today's biggest cash games - the Main Event attracted a field of 288 with each player handing over HK$23,000 for the privilege of competing for a HK$1,913,100 ($246,608) first prize.

Sam's journey to the final wasn't plain-sailing, and indeed he was a short stack on the bubble until he found aces versus kings.

After doubling through with Kd-Td versus 2-2, Sam headed into the ten-handed final eighth in chips, and in confident mood. On the very first hand, he doubled his stack with K-9 versus A-Q, the latter flopping a flush draw but succumbing to an off-suit 9 turn and K river.

However, that was as good as it got for Sam as he slid downhill quicker than a jellied eel with 8-8 out-flipped by A-J and J-J running into K-K.

His swan song came with K-T versus 2-2, and despite catching a king, the flop also brought a third deuce to send him packing.

"If my eights had held, I would have been second in chips, so I'm disappointed to have not sealed the deal," commented Sam in the aftermath. "The APT is a really well run tour and great value. I'm considering spending most of the year in Thailand and heading to Macau every weekend, so this was a chance to check the action was still juice. Confirmed yes."

Having finished second in Cebu earlier in the year, Sam is now in contention for APT Player of the Year. His ninth place finish also means he now boasts $488,350 in live tournament winnings, including a UKIPT Cork Title and final table at the 2011 Aussie Millions.

As a Black Belt on Black Belt Poker, Sam will be a bounty at the upcoming Nottingham Live on August 10-12, and will be leading his Koddzilla's Carps into action in aid of Cancer Research.

Final results:

1st  Carlos Chang (Taiwan) -- $246,608
2nd  Winfred Yu (Canada) -- $131,019
3rd  Richard Zhu (China) -- $61.655
4th  Aaron Lim (Australia) -- $46,238

Live & Kicking with Sensei Razavi

 
The Black Belt Nottingham Live II is fast-approaching, and is set to land at Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club in less than two weeks' time. Players from all across the country will battle it out at the live felt in one of the most affordable, yet fun-filled events of the year.

For many, Nottingham Live II will be their first foray into the world of live poker, and some will likely be anxious about making that nerve-wracking transition from the virtual felt to the green of the live baize and competing in a 400-runner field in the UK's largest poker cardroom.

But don't worry, as help is available in the form of Black Belt and UKIPT Cork Champion Sam Razavi.

Armed with a decade of experience at the live felt, Sam will seek to guide you through those first steps in a one-off live Dojo Session. Starting at 18:00 on Friday, August 10, our 'Going Live' Dojo Session is the perfect opportunity for beginners to learn from one of the game's best players before entering the battlefield themselves the following day.

A poker pro from the mean streets of Brighton, Sam burst onto the Black Belt Poker scene when he was one of two winners in Grading III, earning himself an Aussie Millions package. Several weeks later and Sam was A$225,000 richer courtesy of a sixth place finish in the Main Event. He would later go on to win UKIPT Cork and become the overall UKIPT Leaderboard Season Two Champion.

Oozing in confidence and a master of 'table talk', Sam is the perfect host and will be on hand to answer any questions you may have regarding the live experience, as well as warning you of some of the pitfalls debutants tend to stumble into. And if anyone can tell you about what live tells to be aware of, it's Sam, whose thespian background has made him an expert at reading players and detecting bluffs.

If you would like one of the game's top young(ish) players to help quench those last-minute nerves and introduce you to the world of live poker, then sign up now by purchasing a token with your Spending Points. Tickets are a bargain at just 300 Spending Points, and can be located in the Black Belt Poker Store under 'Dojo Sessions'. But don't delay, as the Session is limited to 10 seats and is sure to sell out long before the event.

'Going Live' is just one of many new Dojo Sessions announced for the next six months, which include the return of Mental Game coach Jared Tendler. Click here to check out the full schedule.
