World's Best Collegiate Poker Player Announced

Chad Flood, 20, a junior from the University of Minnesota -Twin Cities, is the 2nd Annual College Poker Championship Winner (www.collegepokerchampionship.com). Flood outplayed 25,000 students from 55 countries for the title and a $41,000 academic scholarship. A $1,000 donation to the American Diabetes Association will also be made in his name.

Flood, an economics major with a 3.0 GPA, placed in the top 100 in the 2004 College Poker Championship (CPC) � a free online tournament to all registered college and university students worldwide. Flood returned in 2005 with the goal of placing in the top ten, but with an additional year of poker preparation and conditioning, he has now established himself as the World's Best College Poker Player. He is determined to defend his title in 2006.

'I will definitely play in the College Poker Championship again next year. The CPC is a lot of fun and as I've found, an excellent way for students to earn scholarships in non-traditional sporting events', said Flood.
