Black Belt Poker Nottingham Live II

[Nicola Dusk Till Dawn]

On August 10-12, Nottingham Live will be returning to Dusk Till Dawn Poker Club for another weekend of poker fun and frolics with deep stacks, a fun atmosphere, and a guaranteed prize pool of $75,000.

The Main Event is a $200+20 buy-in freezeout. Registration is available exclusively via the Black Belt Poker online cardroom in Scheduled > Black Belt Tournaments > Day 1A/B Nottingham Live 2012.

And unlike the WSOP, they'll be offering free money and added value in the form of our Belt Bonuses.

Anyone who is Orange Belt by August 1st will receive $100 for eliminating one of our many bounties, as well as an incredible 10% added to any cash winnings.

In keeping with WSOP fever, two former bracelet winners have now been confirmed for Nottingham Live II and will be playing the event with a giant target etched onto their foreheads as bounties.

With a near four million in live tournament winnings, Marty Smyth is Ireland's second biggest winner of all time, and is considered to be one of Europe's best Omaha players.

The second bracelet winner to take his seat in Nottingham will be Black Belt Poker sponsored pro Richard Ashby.

Now his eyes are firmly fixed on Nottingham Live, and improving on his finish at the inaugural East End Live where he placed fifth for $3,400, plus $680 for being a Black Belt.

Marty and Richard bring the list of announced bounties up to five after we announced that all three Black Belt Live winners - Sonny Pomroy, Peter Wigglesworth, and defending Champion Stuart Hyson - would be vying to become the first two-time winner.

Full schedule and side events will follow shortly.

Cheers Nicola

In for frolics.

Hi guys. For those with deep pockets, there's also a two-day High Roller on Saturday for £1,000+90, with a live satellite earlier in the day. Registration is via the DTD cashier. Last year, Ben Vinson topped a field of 28 for £12,600.

In for frolics.

But not the 'fun'?
You should really opt for the combo.

Enjoyed this last year, unable to make this one.

I heard the last Blackbelt live was buy in via their website only and payouts were also only paid into players accounts, no cash.

Does this apply to the Nottingham leg as well?

Just re read the op and see that buy in is the same so presume payouts are too.

Yep.

For those who haven't secured your seat, we've got a great opportunity for you. On Wednesday we're hosting an online Mega Satellite with 10 seats guaranteed. The buy-in is $40+4, and there's a very good chance of an overlay. And if $44 isn't within your bankroll, then there are a bunch of $5+0.50 feeders every night until kick-off.

Remember, you can still play the satellites even if you've already bought in, so register soon as the event tends to sell out suddenly and we then receive emails from people asking us to somehow get them a seat.

Outside chance of playing this, as I really enjoyed the London leg at Aspers.

One thing is that I think you should make people aware of the quite frankly absurd payout structure.  Obviously realise the business reasons behind it.

[Bad Beat]

 Planning to pay 18% of the field Scotty. Think absurd might be a bit strong. I would say 15% is generally standard and we would obviously like to see lots of our small players, many of whom are in for $5 getting paid.

 Might "cost" the winner $400. Doubt they'll be too depressed.

[scotty77]

Yeah absurd was too strong! But fairly sure that SPTs use 10pc, and DTD up until recently was 10pc too but I think it has now gone to 12pc.....

It is a strange percentage to use but fully understand why you want as much money as possible paid out to BlackBelt player accounts

Is the buyin only via BBP ipoker skin or all skins??

[1tripz1]

Just BBP. Will give the mega a crack as last year was fun and this year I can concentrate fully!
