Triple Victory for Badbeat.com Players at the UKIPT Newcastle

Three Badbeat-mentored players finished in the money at the recent Newcastle leg of the UK and Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT). Badbeat.com is the original and leading online poker staking site.

With three years’ Badbeat sponsorship under his belt, Tim Slater finished in 5th place, adding £14,050 to his lifetime winnings. Johnathan Gawith took 6th place taking home £11,210, while Ralph Watson picked up £850 for his 59th place – having only under a year of mentorship and training from the poker staking giant.

“We’re delighted that three of our sponsored players finished in the money, with two in the top ten!” said John Conroy, Badbeat Managing Director. “It really demonstrates that our training and mentoring system works for them, not only online but also in the field.”

“The mentoring training made all the difference. It’s world class. You’re part of a team and the ethos of Badbeat and the large presence there pushed me to want to impress my peers,” said Slater. “It wasn’t my first big live tournament -- I’ve played most the UKIPT tour this year -- but it’s a prestigious event and I still felt the nerves kick in with two tables to go. The support from the team helps you believe in yourself.”

Badbeat Sponsored Players Rank in the PokerStars UKIPT Nottingham 2011

Mark Maunsell, 24, was one of two Badbeat.com sponsored poker players to cash in the PokerStars UKIPT Nottingham 2011 which had a record breaking 1,058 entrants and an astounding £529,000 prize pool.
The other Badbeat.com player was Badbeat Managing Director John Conroy, who was eliminated after racing with TT against AK when down to just 15 big blinds, came in 81st and a prize of £1,375.

Mark first joined Badbeat.com as a Sponsored Player in April 2010 starting on a $300 Daily Limit and, with the support and tuition of his personal high-stakes mentor Manuel Palanca, worked his way through the levels to a $3,000 Daily Limit earning himself not only a profitable year with Badbeat.com but was awarded a PokerStars UKIPT ticket for his outstanding performance.

Mark’s mentor, Manuel, commented, “Mark played a fantastic game throughout his two days at the UKIPT Nottingham which sadly came to an end when his QQ ran into AK with the river bringing a King to eliminate Mark and put him in 70th place for a £1,585 prize. I’m still very proud of him for making it this far in such a big tournament.”

Mark Maunsell commented on his game, “This was my biggest live tournament and although it was a little nerve-wracking, my whole game was pretty solid. I just played the two cards in front of me and took it one step at a time.

Mark will be representing Badbeat.com again at the PokerStars UKIPT Manchester in March and you can keep track of him and all the Badbeat players who are entering by following them on Twitter (@BadbeatLimited), Facebook, the Badbeat Blog (blog.badbeat.com) or at www.badbeat.com.

Special Valentine’s Week Prizes will be given away to sponsored poker players from February 14-21st by hitting a Heart Flush or Straight Flush and Champagne to players who hold King and Queen of Hearts at Showdown. Visit www.badbeat.com for further details.
