In a stunning, stunning week of poker, graciously hosted by Blind Me Down, big stacks dominated the play....but did not guarantee a win. Karaoke Phil was the first to experience this phenomenom as he amassed a huge stack early on by taking out Voni early and getting hit by about 3 decks certainly helps! But this Karaoke big stack would not last as he saw it whittled away as the match went on. Enter Matusow stage right who also obtained a big stack but would struggle during heads up play to close the deal against Blind Me Down.
Then you have the 'River Artists' of the evening (Blind Me Down, Verbal) who came back from death several times to finish in 2nd and 3rd place respectively. The Suck Out standard to win a week at the CPL held up during Week 8 as Verbal sucked out 3 times (Twice against Matusow), but could not achieve the ever-allusive '4th suck out' to take the CPL top spot.
Congratulations to Matusow for an impressive Week 8 and his second win of the Winter Session to claim the top of the CPL Leaderboard!
CPL Honorable Mention goes to Bill 'Comeback Kid' Lanoux who didn't play a hand until about 9:30...then 3 hands later went all in and lost. Wow.
