Hammond, Ind. (May 4, 2014) — Chicago area pro Chris Karambinis earned his third career tournament victory early Sunday morning at Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Ind. The win came at the hands of a massive 3,092-entry field in Event 1 of the sixth annual Chicago Poker Classic, a $350 no-limit hold’em re-entry event. Karambinis outlasted the likes of Austin Buchanan (89th), Aaron Massey (47th), Zal Irani (25th) Ralph Massey (19th) and Nick Jivkov (9th) to earn the $168,039 first prize.
Chris Karambinis Poker
The opening event of the 10-tournament series featured eight starting flights and doled out a $5,000 bonus to players for each Day 2 they advanced to after their first. Those who moved on from multiple flights assumed their largest stack on Day 2 and the player who forfeited the most chips via double qualifying was awarded a $10,000 WSOP Main Event seat as well as $2,000 cash. The $5,000 bonus was paid out a total of 11 times with Minnesota resident Matthew Kirby forfeiting the most chips to earn the $10,000 seat in addition to $2,000 cash.
The more than 3,000-entry field amassed a prize pool of $927,600. In order to meet the $1,000,000 guarantee, Hammond staff added an additional $50,400 in prizes on top of the 22,000 in double qualifier promotional dollars. This made for more than $72,000 in added value.
Flight-by-flight entry and double qualifier breakdown:
| Flight | Entries | Advanced | x2 Qualifiers |
| A | 466 | 19 | — |
| B | 229 | 9 | 0 |
| C | 343 | 14 | 0 |
| D | 246 | 10 | 0 |
| E | 426 | 17 | 4 |
| F | 337 | 13 | 1 |
| G | 587 | 23 | 5 |
| H | 458 | 18 | 1 |
| Total | 3,092 | 123 | 11 |
Keeping in mind the 11 stacks forfeited due to the double qualifier bonus, Day 2 began Saturday at 2 p.m. with 112 players remaining and Jacob Baumgartner leading the way. Baumgartner rode his chip lead deep into the tournament, finishing 13th, but Karambinis (who began Day 2 second in chips) did a few steps better, earning a final table berth before defeating Oleg Badmayev heads-up to win the event and record his first his victory in his homestate.
Karambinis’ poker resume now boasts three victories including two WSOP Circuit wins. His total reported earnings nearly doubled following Event 1 at the Chicago Poker Classic, skyrocketing past the $350,000-mark.
The Chicago Poker Classic is recognized as the largest non-branded poker tournament series in the United States. In its six-year history, the event has been headlined most notably by last year’s 5,165-entry opener – one of the largest tournaments ever to take place outside the confines of Las Vegas and the World Series if Poker.
This year’s series began April 29 and runs through May 12 with the $1,500 Main Event beginning May 9. More information is available on the blog at chicagopokerclassic.wordpress.com.
