Over the weekend, the $2,200 buy-in Benny Binion Summer Shootout took place at South Point Casino in Las Vegas. The tournament, which attracted 94 players, ended in a three-way deal that saw a triumvirate of players secure mid-five-figure paydays.
With the trio holding nearly identical chip stacks, a deal was struck that saw Patrick Gunraj and Kyle Grosshanten each lock up $55,000, while poker pro Ian Steinman took top honors and $65,000 in prize money. Originally, first place was to receive $100,000 while second and third place would have received $50,000 and $25,000 respectively.
