Christopher Stallkamp

Christopher Stallkamp is a poker player from the United States who has competed primarily in World Series of Poker (WSOP) and RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) events. According to WSOP.com, he has amassed $49,096 in total earnings from nine cashes, with two final-table finishes. While not a household name, Stallkamp has demonstrated consistent deep runs in mid-stakes tournaments.

Stallkamp's WSOP and circuit results span from 2021 to 2025. His most notable WSOP cash came in 2021 when he finished 51st in Event #65: $1,000 Mini Main Event for $8,675, out of a field of 3,821 entries. He also cashed in the 2021 WSOP Event #11: $600 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack, placing 7th for $21,332—his largest single payout. Other WSOP results include a 57th-place finish in the 2024 Event #12: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em (6-Handed) for $6,898, and a 237th-place finish in the 2025 Event #10: $600 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack for $2,110.

In WSOP Circuit events, he recorded a 3rd-place finish in Event #6: $400 No-Limit Hold'em at The Bicycle Casino in December 2022 ($3,285), and a 15th-place finish in Event #1: $500 No-Limit Hold'em ($1,625).

Stallkamp has also performed well in the RunGood Poker Series. At the RGPS Jamul Casino Main Event in June 2021, he reached the final table and was eliminated in 7th place ($21,332). In February 2025, he placed 25th in a $600 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event at the same venue for $1,455.

During the 2021 WSOP Mini Main Event, Stallkamp was involved in two notable hands. On Day 2, he opened from middle position and called Michael Lech's shove from the small blind. Stallkamp held A♠8♠ against Lech's A♣5♣ and won with a pair of eights on a board of 8♦3♥6♣Q♥4♠, eliminating Lech. Later, in a blind versus blind confrontation, Stallkamp got his chips in with 8♠8♣ against David Tuthill's 7♣5♣ on a board of 8♥4♦2♠. Tuthill turned a straight on the river (J♥), rivering a set for Stallkamp but losing the pot. "Nice two-outer man," Stallkamp remarked in frustration.

In the RGPS Jamul Casino Main Event, Stallkamp was eliminated in 7th place after getting all-in with A♦K♠ against Stephen O'Dwyer's A♥9♥. The flop came 5♣7♣9♠, giving O'Dwyer a pair of nines, and Stallkamp failed to improve on the turn and river.

Based on available hand histories, Stallkamp appears comfortable opening aggressively from middle position and is willing to call all-in shoves with strong aces. His deep runs in large-field events suggest a solid tournament foundation, though his rivered set loss highlights the variance inherent in poker.

With nearly $50,000 in recorded earnings and multiple cashes across WSOP and RGPS, Christopher Stallkamp represents the dedicated tournament grinder. While he has not yet captured a major title, his consistent performances keep him on the radar of mid-stakes tournament observers.
