Matthews Makes Run At TOC With Victory During Week 9!!

In what was absolutely the tightest CPL week in CPL history all 11 CPL Members were still 'hanging around' after 2 hours of play and 7 CPL Members were remaining as we went into Level 11 and the CPL Plaque Rounds!  However, the next 24 minutes during levels 11 and 12 would see the fall of 6 of these 7 members as the only Member left standing was Chris Matthews who, more than any other CPL member, really, really needed a great week.  And he delivered even as Chris took several naps during the CPL session! 

Congrats Chris!

 

Congrats also goes out to Voni "The Rookie" as she came in second place during Week 9 and had a great heads up match against Chris which saw the CPL Plaques going back and forth and back and forth.  But in the end Chris had Big Slick and finished off the Rookie!  Congrats to Chris and to Voni!

 

CPL Honorable Mention goes to Blind Me Down Behr who played 3 hands all night, complained about 120 hands that he folded, and somehow took 3rd place.  Go figure.

 

Karaoke Phil's early big stack for the second week in a row was subject to deterioration throughout the match....hmmmm...a trend maybe?  And what about Yours Truly 'Verbal' who continues to go out on the point bubble and now with 2 CPL weeks remaining faces possible elimination from the very CPL TOC that he created? What Up Wit That!  Can he get down to business during the final weeks of the CPL session?  The CPL Point Record (currently held by 'Karaoke' Phil) is within reach for the second session in a row by 'Matusow' Matson!  Jeff would need to take first place during weeks 10 AND week 11 AND needs to have 12 members present during each week to break the record.

 

The CPL auditors have spent hours analyzing the current point standings and with 2 CPL week remaining have informed us that the following 3 CPL Members have CLINCHED a seat at the coveted CPL Tournament of Champions on Saturday November 15th!  Congrats!

Jeff 'Matusow' Matson

Vince 'The Cursed One' Castellanos

Mike 'Blind Me Down' Behr
