Karambinis Climbing Up the Leader Board
We mentioned this on Friday night, but it's worth talking about again as we are edging close to the money bubble. Before Day 1b started, Chris Karambinis walked up to us and confidently said "This is over. You're looking at the winner." Well thanks to a huge hand he just won, he just might be right.
Action started with our chip leader Bryan Campanello raising to 8,000. Karambinis was on the button, and he put in a three bet to 20,000. The small blind tanked for about 30 seconds before moving all in for 73,000 total. Campanello got out of the way, and Karambinis made the call after 20 seconds of tanking.

Opponent: 
Karambinis held the slight advantage going to the flop, and that never changed as the board ran down 
. Karambinis made an unnecessary full house on the river, and after stacking up his chips, we pegged him at 310,000.
