**A Night at the CCPT: Poker at Joe’s Poker Palace**

The first event of the 2025 Carleton County Poker Tour (CCPT) season took place at Joe’s Poker Palace, a familiar spot. Despite the snowy weather outside, the turnout was solid as the group gathered for a No-Limit Texas Hold’em tournament. The tour, established in 2004, had seen plenty of highs and lows, and tonight, players were hoping to start the season on the right foot.

Luc, who had performed well in previous seasons, was looking to carry that momentum into the new year. He played his usual steady game, making calculated decisions and avoiding risky moves. His calm approach paid off as the night unfolded.

Tony, who often found himself near the bottom of the standings, struggled early. A few bluffs didn’t land as he’d hoped, and by the middle of the night, he found himself far behind in chips. After a significant loss, Tony was out of contention for the night’s top spots.

Meanwhile, Luc continued to build his stack, staying consistent and patient with each hand. His ability to read the table and adjust his strategy allowed him to capitalize on the mistakes of others. 

As the tournament progressed, Luc’s lead grew. By the time the final hand was dealt, it was clear that he had dominated the night. He finished as the **Overall Points Winner**, earning 21 points and **$110 in gross money**.

Here’s how the final standings looked:

– **Luc – Overall Points Winner – 21 Points**
– **Tony – Basement – 7 Points**

Luc’s success didn’t just come from winning big pots—it was his consistent performance that made him the leader. He also topped the **YTD Net Money Best** with $75 and **YTD Gross Money Best** with $110. His two wins on the night marked the **YTD Most Wins**.

“Thanks to everyone for coming out tonight,” the organizer said, with a nod to the weather outside. “We’ll see you all at **Mark’s Poker Palace** for event #2 on **February 12th**. Stay safe, and let’s see what the next game holds.”

With that, the first event of the season wrapped up. Luc had claimed the win, but the season was far from over. The leaderboard was set, but with more events ahead, the competition was just heating up.
