We recently caught a hand with Chicago tournament notable Chris Karambinis, who opened to 1,200 from late position and was called by the blinds.

The board came {j-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}, and all three players checked. The turn was the {j-Hearts}, and the big blind bet out 1,675. Karambinis called, and the opponent in the small blind folded.

As the players went heads-up on the {4-Clubs} river, Karambinis made an instant hero call for 4,850. His opponent showed {9-Clubs}{k-Spades}, and Karambinis took down the pot with {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}. His stack is currently at around 25,000.
