Hi everyone! Hope you've all had a fantastic Christmas period and ready to start 2010 with a bang.

I'm Ed from Black Belt Poker and I'd like to let you in on one of our upcoming tournaments.

This Spring we'll be holding our first Black Belt London Live tournament at the Grosvenor Victoria casino in London.

The three day event, taking place from Friday the 12th of March to Sunday the 14th, will pit 300 runners against each other in a No Limit Hold'em Freezeout.

There's an estimated prize pool of $60,000 while the winner of the tournament will land up to $15,000.

The buy-in is $200+20, with a starting stack of 20,000 chips and a 45 minute clock.

Pros including Neil Channing, Nik Persaud, James Akenhead, Richard Ashby, Jesse May, Praz Bansi, Julian Thew and Marty Smyth will be there as celebrity bounties. Knock any of these lot out and you'll get a signed belt, photo and a piece of memorabilia brought to the event by the bounty.

We also have huge incentives for Black Belt Poker players, which will increase their earnings for winning the tournament. For more details on the awards available and how to book your place at the event, visit the 'Events' page on the Black Belt Poker site.

Happy New Year everyone!!! Stay safe and have a good one.
