Past Events
Camp One Step’s Charity Poker Championship took place on Thursday, April 18th, 2024 at Galleria Marchetti in Chicago, and raised more than $138,000 to help send kids with cancer and their family members to camp programs. More than 200 players competed for a seat in the World Series of Poker Main Event in Las Vegas. Spectators enjoyed watching the tournament unfold, sipping craft beers from Begyle Brewing, and roasting s’mores.
The High Roller tournament consisted of 25 players, three of which moved onto the final table. The High Roller ticket not only offered players their best chance at winning the seat in the WSOP Main Event, but also featured an exclusive high-end whiskey sampling by Glenrothes, a private bar, and complimentary valet parking.
Our top 10 finalists were each awarded a prize. Prizes included high-end whiskey, sports tickets, gift certificates to Chicago’s most popular restaurants, and more.
