Shannon Steck

Shannon Steck is on a heater.

She won the Bankroll Builder Sunday evening and followed up with a dominant performance last night in the Quad Stack Bounty.

The $150 + $50 Quad Stack Bounty tournament drew 71 entries, and Steck found herself at another final table. When it was down to three players, an unusual deal was made.

“She had all the chips,” third-place finished Keith Schiller said. “We just gave her first place and split the other cash.”

Steck took the full $2,470 set aside for the winner, while Schiller and runner-up Ruben Lima chopped up second and third-place money right down the middle.

Congrats again, Shannon!
