The story of Anargyros Karabourniotis, better known as Archie Karas, is the stuff of legends. From 1992 to 1994, Karas reportedly turned $50 into more than $40 million in what has become known as "The Run."
During that time, Karas defeated some of poker's best including Chip Reese, Doyle Brunson, and Stu Ungar, just to name a few; in fact, Johnny Chan was the only pro to beat Karas, reportedly taking $900,000 from the red-hot player. Karas' story has been well documented in PokerNews’ Sexton’s Corner series, which you can read by clicking here.
