Matson Wins Back to Back CPL Weeks Along With Third Victory During CPL Week 9

Jeff "Matusow" Matson scored his second win in a row during CPL Wine Night in Week 9 against a field of 12 CPL members! Back to back victories has not been seen in the CPL since the Summer of 2008 by Nemesis.

For Jeff, this is also his third win of the CPL 2009 Summer Session, which puts him in company with only 3 other CPL members who have accomplished 3 wins in one session.

And in a feat not seen before in CPL history, Jeff "Matusow" Matson is the first member to score 3 wins in a session more than once.

Congrats Jeff on a record setting victory!

Matusow is definately playing well these days! Last weeks performance was very Jeff-like...picking his spots and being aggressive. Getting down in chips and making his move as the final table was set. There was a moment where there were 9 members remaining and Matusow was short stacked and went all in. It is this 'live or die' type of play that continues to make Jeff one of the most dangerous players in the CPL.

However, it was not a walk in the park for Jeff "Matusow" Matson this week once he survived his early final table all in....chips were flying around the table like crazy as many members were working towards the points in preparation for the upcoming TOC. Wanda "Wicked1" Bublitz was in a mood to not only take out players...she wanted to take out two players at a time...and she completed this task twice during the evening. This provided her a major stack that the remaining players had to contend with. Wicked1 finished a very respectable 3rd, which gives Wanda a first, second, and third place finish in the last 3 CPL weeks she has played in. Heads up would be Malinda "Nemesis" Cardenas (yes, she took Verbal out of the match again this week) versus Matusow. This was going to be an interesting heads up as Jeff's general aggressive play was up against Malinda's equally aggressive heads up play....in addition it was getting late...and did I mention it was Wine night! As expected, the heads up did not take long and Malinda shoved her chips in with a flush draw which did not pan out. A great finish for Malinda and a great win for Matusow!

CPL Honorable Mention goes to Bill "Comeback Kid" Lanoux for clinching yet another seat at the TOC!
