Unabomber Wins Again During CPL Week 6!

Mike "Unabomber" Bowman won his second CPL 1st place title of this Fall Session during Week 6 when he bested a field of 14 members out in the lands of Plymouth. This win not only put Unabomber back on top of the CPL Leaderboard, but also secured Unabomber a seat at the coveted CPL Tournament of Champions in December. This is the earliest anyone has clinched a TOC seat! Congrats Mike!

It was a crazy night of early technical difficulties with the tournament clock...and a mishap with the chip counts gave everyone an extra 300 in chips about 30 min into the match! This is what happens when we let Greg count out the chips! In the end all was set right and the match continued! The rough start was definitely felt later in the match as 7 CPL Members remained as we entered the CPL Plaque Rounds!! Wow! But once the 1000/2000 blind level started up...the folks started falling....

Making a fine finish in 2nd place was James, who was incredibly steady throughout the whole match until heads up...where he was went into heads up even up with Unabomber and was quickly disposed of to give Unabomber the win. However another great finish by James!

Greg NewLife Durand finished 3rd. This finish also secures NewLife a seat at the TOC in December! Both NewLife and Unabomber share 4 wins out of the first 6 weeks of play. Quite the domination so far!

In fourth was Mark Wittig who made his CPL debut in fine, fine fashion...staying the course and playing a conservative style of poker which did well for him until the blinds caught up with him. Welcome to the CPL Mark!

Congrats to Verbal, Comeback Kid, and Karaoke Phil for also making it into the CPL points for the week!

CPL Quote of the week:
"3 white chips, 5 black, 10 blue, and 20 Red...3000!"
--Greg "NewLife" Durand making the case to the CPL Director that his chip count was accurate. (he is actually 300 short...missing 3 black chips)
