Chris Csik Wins 2015 WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Baltimore Main Event

A total of 670 entries were made in the 2015 World Series of Poker Circuit Horseshoe Baltimore $1,675 no-limit hold’em main event, building a prize pool of $985,500.

In the end the last player standing, or sitting as it were, was Chris Csik. For the win the 27-year-old poker pro earned $206,020 and his first WSOP Circuit gold ring.

“It’s really just surreal,” Csik told WSOP.com after his win. “I couldn’t even tell you right now. It’s hard to understand the gravity of the situation. Obviously it’s a lot of money and I work hard for a score like this and it feels really cool to get it.”

In addition to the money and the title Csik also scored 840 Card Player Player of the Year points, enough to instantly move him inside the top 50 in the overall POY standings. He now occupies the 48 spot on the leaderboard.

Csik entered the final day in third chip position of 13 players remaining and was able to survive to heads-up play with Faisal Siddiqui. The two battled it out for 97 hands, but in the end Csik emerged victorious. On the final hand he flopped a pair and a flush draw with the Q8 on a A98. Both he and Siddiqui, who held A6, checked. The turn brought the J and Csik check-called 600,000. The river brought the K and again Csik checked his flush. Siddiqui bet 1.1 million and Csik then raised to 2.6 million. Siddiqui moved all-in and Csik of course called with the best possible hand, securing the pot and the title.
