Karaoke Phil Wins Summer Session Week 1!

The 2009 CPL Summer Session is underway with a BANG!

During the Spring Session the CPL witnessed its first Royal Flush....well that 100 year event has happened again!!  Steve "The Chaser" Bennewitz needed help from the turn and the river to score this best of poker hands...congrats Steve on the CPL's 2nd Royal Flush!

Pocket Aces is a great hand to get once during a tournament...getting Pocket Rockets twice in a tournament is fabulous...receiving the Bullets 5 times in one match is unbelievable...however it is what happened this week as Karaoke Phil showed Pocket Aces an amazing 5 times during Week 1 as he marched to victory!  

Heads up play was CPL Director vs CPL Director and hasn't been seen in the CPL in almost a year!  The last time Karaoke and Verbal went head to head it was the Week 2 of the Summer Session 2008...and in that match Verbal came out on top.  During this weeks CPL match, Verbal made a run at Karaoke again after going into heads up short stacked...but in the end couldn't score the knockout punch once Verbal took the chip lead.  It was a marathon heads up play that lasted almost 20 minutes....and an amazing 14 min at the final 3000/6000 blind level!!
Congrats Phil on your week 1 victory!

CPL Honarable Mention goes to Nanoman for returning to the CPL and taking down the 3rd place spot!

CPL Honarable Mention also goes to The Chaser for his Royal Flush during Week 1!
