Free Poker Network / CPL kudos

Kudos to "Comeback Kid" Bill Lanoux. It looks like he took down session 2 (second 8-week half of the season) at Erik's Bar in the FreePokerNetwork League (FPN). That allows him to skip regions and go straight to the state tourney where several seats to Vegas (where the championship tourney will give away several seats to the Heartland Poker Tour's season opening tourney at the Red Rock Casino) will be handed out. Wanda "Wicked1" Bublitz looks to have squeaked into the regional tourney where she'll play along side Karaoke Phil who took 4th in session 1 (top 6 qualified to regions), but slipped in session 2 to 10th/11th.

And, speaking of Karaoke Phil, regions may be moot. He was finally able to use his online token in a 10 player SNG satellite for an online seat to the Vegas give away this Sunday. Except for a 10 - 15 hand lull in the middle of the tourney Karaoke dominated the field (60% of the chips with 4 players left and 88% of the chips with 3 players remaining). There were 38 runners signed up for the Sunday tourney and Karaoke thinks it will be about 50 total come tourney time. The winner will get a Vegas seat at the Nationals Championship with 2nd place receiving an Ipod Nano.

Nice job CPLers.

Also, look for our docu-series "Suck Out!" to continue this weekend!!!
