Neil Channing to Launch New Online Poker Room

Neil Channing is the current Irish Open Champion and one of the best live poker players in the United Kingdom. Channing is taking his knowledge and fame in the game of poker and possibly transferring it to the online poker realm. There has been talk online that Channing is going to launch a new online poker venture called BlackBelt Poker.

BlackBelt Poker will be a website where online poker players can go to learn more about the game, train to play online and just an all around manly poker website. Currently Channing is holding online grading trails of some of the best poker players in the United Kingdom. Those that pass will become a sponsored professional of the site.

Up to forty of the best poker players will be taking four weeks of intensive trials and eight will become the Brown Belts. These eight players will get an exclusive sponsorship deal which includes entry into the WSOP.

The next level down from a Brown Belt is a Blue Belt and those who are found to be Blue Belts will be given sponsorship to UK events and a chance to become a Brown Belt at a later date.
