Another 100 Year Event! Blind Me Down Wins CPL Week 5!

Are we already in the year 2109?  One would think so by what we witnessed tonight at the CPL!  Mike "Blind Me Down" Behr has taken down the top spot during Week 5!  This is an event we do not expect to see twice within a persons lifetime...yet it has happened!  Like two solar eclipses in one year, like the Cubs winning the World Series in two consecutive seasons, we have seen Blind Me Down win two weeks within one CPL session!

More amazing however was that Blind Me Down bested CPL Director "Verbal" Cardenas in a heads up match that will haunt Mark for quite a while. 

And EVEN more amazing still was that earlier in the match Blind Me Down was the short stack, went all in and Verbal called with AK suited against Blind Me Down's miniscule Q-J off suit....then came the quote of the week...not ripped off from Dennis Miller...

"Oh...I know how this ends" --Bill "Comeback Kid" Lanoux

And the result!  Blind Me Down outdraws Verbal to not only double up and stave off elimination for the week out of the CPL points...but eventually wins the match over Verbal in heads up play!

Did I mention that Verbal was All In with AK suited last night on Full Tilt against QJ Off Suit and was outdrawn last night?  Ya....thanks Bill.

Outside of that however, it was an AMAZING week as ALL 11 CPL members were still in the match after the first break....and ALL 11 still standing after the 2nd break!  But the 200/400 blind level (known as the elimination level) started taking folks down...and soon the blinds were at 500/1000 with 5 members remaining!!

CPL Honorable Mention goes to both Blind Me Down and Comeback Kid for making the CPL points for the 5th straight week this session! 

CPL Honorable Mention also goes to Jeff "Matusow" Matson for making it to a CPL week.  Jeff of course went out on the CPL points bubble!
