#715 – Piled up on the News Desk, Part II – Congratulations to Steve Brecher
Early Saturday morning, Steve Brecher won the WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star Championship. He outlasted a field of 391, including a marathon final table, to take home the Championship and $1,025,500. Steve succeeded Ted Forrest as the Bay 101 Champ by busting Kathy Liebert at 4:30am Saturday.
Brecher made the final table of the first WPT Championship in 2004 and finished third in the US Poker Championship in 2005. He is also an incredibly nice guy.

Actually, Ted Forrest’s win came two years ago. Brandon Cantu was the defending champ.
