Staight Up

 
Red balloons, a flake, pence - the number 99 seems to crop up everywhere, and this week it represented the field size of the opening leg of the latest Black Belt Poker League.

Fresh(ish) off a 15th place finish at East End Live II, Yellow Belt Bradley bas2604 Staight exploded out of the blocks with his second league victory to date, sewing up first for $136,17.

Proving that the pan is void of any flash, reigning Champion Timothy HammerHorror O'Mahoney came in third, while Elsyiumjay collected second. Blytho1 was the unfortunate bubble boy, while Blue Belt Jamie Burland was similarly close in 14th.

1st  bas2604 -- $136.17
2nd  Elsyiumjay -- $91.57
3rd  HammerHorror -- $69.30
4th  wendygee54 -- $47.02
5th  Barty1uk -- $34.65
6th  liquidpoker101 -- $25.98
7th  Sarannedipity -- $21.03
8th  forgot2piknik -- $17.32
9th  SturtSan -- $14.85
10th  ChipRead77 -- $12.37
11th  WiseOwlBB -- $12.37
12th  losbert40 -- $12.37

This time, players are competing for boarding passes in The 12 Days of Summer promotion, in the hope of winning a £2,500 tournament voucher and jetting off to warmer climates for some hot poker action.

Last week we launched the promotion with our Summer Scorcher event, a $10+1 freezeout with boarding passes added to the top three places. The in-form man Paul 2LAMCHOP2 Lamonby won his umpteenth event:

1st 2LAMCHOP2 -- $118.40 (3 boarding passes)
2nd UliKoko -- $80.00 (2 boarding passes)
3rd NPStars1 -- $48.00 (1 boarding pass)
4th blytho1 -- $32.00
5th DucksDontMOO -- $24.00
6th FumbDuck1 -- $17.60

2LAMCHOP2's invincibility stars ran out in the Orange Belt Freeroll, however, mainly because he didn't participate. Barty1uk was on hand to take of his absence advantage and capture a welcome five boarding passes.

1st  Barty1uk -- 5 boarding passes
2nd  sprinterz -- 4 boarding passes
3rd  liquidpoker101 -- 3 boarding passes
4th  LegendKing1 -- 2 boarding passes
5th  losbert40 -- 1 boarding pass

With NPStars1 earning a bonus pass in the Mulligan, the current tallies are as follows with 23 already given away:

Barty1uk -- 5 x boarding passes
sprinterz -- 4 x boarding passes
liquidpoker101 -- 3 boarding passes
2LAMCHOP2 -- 3 x boarding passes
LegendKing1 -- 2 x boarding passes
UliKoko -- 2 x boarding passes
NPStars1 -- 2 x boarding passes
losbert40 -- 1 x boarding pass
VBlueBBP -- 1 x boarding pass

The next opportunity will be Monday's Turbo Takedown where we'll once again be adding a boarding pass onto first prize. If you would like to get involved, then check out our promotions page now.
