Unabomber Takes CPL Fall Session Week 1!

Mike "Unabomber" Bowman survived the field of 15 during Week 1 of the CPL Fall Session to capture a huge point prize! A great start for Unabomber! The numerology of the evening was obvious (9-9-09). This played out all the way to the final hand as Unabomber's pocket Nines (The Murano) beat Mark "Verbal" Cardenas who had A-7. Even though Verbal took the lead on the flop when an Ace spiked...numerology would not be denied...and the 3rd 9 hit the River to give Unabomber the win.

It was definitely a great evening of poker as the CPL welcomed 6 new faces to the CPL family and CPL Headquarters was lively with the sound of the 80's and plenty of poker! Run time on the match was only 3 hours and 15 min...however with a late start and longer than expected breaks the final hand did not occur until 11pm. I believe we lasted the entire first 3 levels before anyone was escorted to the rail...but after the second break...folks started falling quickly and the chip leaders became more and more defined.

In the end two new CPL members made it into the CPL Points including Kenji who finished 3rd and Dave who finished 6th! Congrats to Kenji and Dave for a great first week finish!

It was a great evening for the CPL Directors as Mark "Verbal" Cardenas finished in 2nd place after going into 3 handed play with 1/2 the chips on the table, and "Karaoke" Phil Fuehrer finished in 4th place after taking a beating early in the night.

Mike "Blind Me Down" Behr pulled off his normal magic tricks and somehow made it to 5th place after blinding down all the way to 100 chips before making his way back.

Voni "The Rookie" Khang made her return to the CPL known as she finished in 7th to round out the CPL point winners.
