CCPT 2025 Year End Event Results – Event 11- January 10. 2026

CCPT 2025 Season Finale – Event 10 at Joe’s Poker Palace
January 10, 2026 — A Night of Legends, Laughter, and Last‑Man‑Standing Glory

If you could bottle the energy inside Joe’s Poker Palace on the night of the CCPT 2025 finale, you’d have enough fuel to power the Vegas Strip. The chips were stacked, the rivalries were simmering, the popcorn machine was roaring like a jet engine, and every player walked in knowing one truth:
This was the night reputations would be made… or broken.
The tour took a major step toward big‑league professionalism:
A hired dealer.
A real one.
Calm hands. Sharp dealing. Zero nonsense.
The kind of dealer who could run a table in Vegas without breaking a sweat.
The presence of a professional dealer elevated the entire night — smoother action, cleaner pots, fewer arguments, and a whole lot more fun. It felt like the CCPT had officially entered its “big‑time poker” era.
And then there was the Dana Stare.

Every time it was your turn to act, the dealer locked in with that laser‑focused, unblinking Dana‑style stare — the kind of look that could make a grown man fold pocket aces out of pure intimidation. It became a running joke at the table:
“Your turn.”
Stare.
Silence.
Pressure.
Existential crisis.
Then finally… a bet.
It added a hilarious layer of tension to the night — part professionalism, part comedy, and fully CCPT.

THE ROAD TO EVENT 10: A SEASON OF SWINGS, SURGES & SHOCKERS

The 2025 CCPT season wasn’t just a series of poker nights — it was a saga. A ten‑event rollercoaster filled with hot streaks, cold spells, surprise comebacks, and enough table talk to fill a documentary.

The Early Season: Luc’s Reign of Terror
Luc opened the year like a man on fire.
Event 1? First place.
Event 2? First place again.
Event 3? Drops to second — only because Asbell had the run of his life.
For the first half of the season, Luc was the benchmark. The boss level. The man everyone was chasing.

The Mid‑Season Shakeup: Joe Takes the Throne
Around Event 6, everything changed.
Joe surged, taking the #1 spot and refusing to give it back.
He didn’t dominate with flash — he dominated with consistency.
Quiet. Calculated. Deadly.
By Event 10, he wasn’t just the money leader — he was the man to beat.

The Tony Surge: From 8th to 2nd
If the season had a comeback story, it was Tony.
He started in 8th place.
He finished in 2nd.
A climb powered by grit, smart play, and maybe a little brisket magic.
By the finale, Tony wasn’t just a contender — he was a threat.

The Asbell Arc: From Leader to Lurker
Asbell led the entire CCPT after Event 3.
Then the cards turned cold.
He slid down the standings but remained dangerous — the kind of player who could bust you at any moment.

The Wildcards: Pete, Tyler, and the Late‑Season Chaos
Some players didn’t play the full season, but when they showed up, they made noise.
Pete — the grinder, the profit king, the man who always found a way to cash.
Tyler — the part‑timer who played like a full‑timer.
John, Keith, Duane, and Al — the chaos agents who could bust you or themselves in spectacular fashion.

The Numbers Tell the Story

Gross winnings for 2025 totaled 2,420, led by:
• Joe – 430
• Luc – 420
• Tony – 350
• Pete – 285
• Asbell – 265
Net winnings crowned Pete (+145) as the profit king, with Luc (+105), Joe (+80), and Tyler (+60) also finishing in the black.
By the time Event 10 arrived, the standings were tight, the rivalries were sharp, and the bragging rights were priceless.
Everyone walked into Joe’s Poker Palace knowing:
This finale wasn’t just another game — it was the showdown the entire season had been building toward.

THE YEAR‑END EVENT: WHERE LEGENDS ARE MADE
Nine players arrived for the final showdown:
Tony, Pete, John, Mark, Luc, Joe, Duane, Keith, and Tyler.

5:30 PM – Chinese Feast Warm‑Up
The night began with a Chinese food spread that could’ve fed a small army.
Players loaded up on noodles, chicken balls, and fried rice like they were carb‑loading for the Poker Olympics.

6:30 PM – Super Push Showdown
Two warm‑up games. Two big statements.
• Luc took Game 1, pocketing 70.
• Duane answered in Game 2, grabbing his own 70.
Both men walked into the main event with early momentum — and early targets on their backs.

7:00 PM – THE MAIN EVENT BEGINS
Blinds: 25/50
Starting stacks: 11,500 chips
(Except John, who waived the buy‑in and started with 6,850 — a move equal parts bold and insane.)
With the dealer running the show, the game felt fast, clean, and intense — the kind of pace that keeps everyone locked in.

Early Carnage: Tony’s Double Knockout

Tony unleashed a flush that sent Keith AND Luc packing in a single hand.
Two players gone.
One statement made.
The table shook.
Even the dealer raised an eyebrow.
Duane Falls Next
Despite his Super Push win, Duane ran into a full house from Tyler and hit the rail early.

HOUR 1 CHIP COUNTS
• Joe – 12,500
• Luc – 12,350
• Pete – 12,000
• Tony – 11,000
• Mark – 10,800
• Tyler – 10,400
• Duane – 10,150
• Keith – 8,300
• John – 8,250

THE LEGENDARY CCPT BRISKET BREAK — A FEAST WORTHY OF CHAMPIONS

Just when the tension at the table was reaching a boil, the clock struck brisket o’clock — the most anticipated moment of any CCPT year‑end event. And Tony didn’t just bring brisket. He brought an experience.
The table transformed into a deli counter that would make Katz’s in New York jealous.
The Brisket
Slow‑cooked. Tender. Juicy.
Sliced thick enough to satisfy the carnivores, thin enough for the sandwich purists.

The Bread Lineup

Four different types of bread:
• Soft rye
• Marble rye
• Classic white
• Rustic sourdough

The Mustard Bar

A four‑mustard arsenal:
• Classic yellow
• Dijon
• Spicy brown
• Honey mustard
Pickles & Onions

The essential finishing touches:

• Dill pickles
• Sweet pickles
• Red onions
• White onions
Players built sandwiches like they were building chip stacks — high, proud, and with zero shame.
The brisket break didn’t just refuel the table.
It reset the energy.
It united rivals.
It gave everyone a moment to breathe before the final storm.

ROUND 2 – THE FIELD SHRINKS TO FIVE
• Pete – 23,500
• Tony – 19,100
• Joe – 17,200
• John – 15,950
• Tyler – 10,200

THE FINAL ACT
Mark eliminated by Joe.
John eliminated by Tyler.
Tony eliminated by Pete (4th place, 30).
Joe eliminated by Tyler (3rd place, 60).

HEADS‑UP FOR THE TITLE: TYLER VS. PETE — THE FINAL CLASH
When the dust settled and the chips were counted, only two players remained:
Pete and Tyler — two lawyers, two completely different journeys, and one trophy waiting to be claimed.
The room shifted.
The chatter quieted.
Even the dealer’s Dana Stare softened into something resembling respect.
This was the matchup the season deserved.
Pete — The Ironman
He played 16 events, grinding week after week, building profit, building confidence, and building a reputation as the most consistent player in the CCPT.

Tyler — The Part‑Time Assassin
He played just 8 events, but every appearance was a statement.
He knocked out Duane.
He knocked out John.
He knocked out Joe.
He came into the final duel with the swagger of a man who knew he was playing with house money — and loving every second of it.

The Duel Begins
The first few hands were a chess match.
Small jabs.
Careful raises.
Testing each other’s nerves.
Pete leaned on his experience, applying pressure with position and chip advantage.
Tyler countered with unpredictability — mixing calls, raises, and the occasional stare‑down that even made the dealer blink.
Momentum Swings
Pete landed the first big blow with a well‑timed value bet.
Tyler answered with a fearless bluff that sent Pete folding top pair and shaking his head.
The room erupted.
The Final Hand
Tyler pushed all‑in.
Pete tanked.
He counted.
He re‑counted.
He stared at Tyler.
He stared at the dealer — who returned fire with the full Dana Stare.
Finally, Pete made the call.
The cards flipped.
The room froze.
Tyler had it.
The winning hand.
The knockout punch.
Pete nodded, smiled, and extended a hand — a true sportsman’s moment.
And just like that…

TYLER — CCPT 2025 CHAMPION
A part‑timer turned champion.
A sniper who struck when it mattered most.
A new name etched into CCPT history.
