While a lot goes into the success of a tournament, and eventually the glory of completing a final table, the hard work of dealers is something that never goes unnoticed.
Shaun Harris and Heather Alcorn are seated at the same table and are looking to be on the other side of the final tables that they normally deal here at the World Series of Poker. The table also includes Media Contributor Molly Mossey, clearly making their table the most fun one in the room.
Harris has cashed this event twice, in 2010 and 2016, while Alcorn looks to book her first-ever WSOP cash to go with her nine WSOP Circuit cashes.

Dana Castaneda, a 2013 WSOP bracelet winner, has joined the field today and is setting a fast pace early on. With over $460,000 in live tournament earnings, Castaneda is looking to add to that total in the 48th running of the WSOP.
Just now Castaneda was involved in a hand in which the board read 
, and the small blind led out for 700 into a pot of around 1,000. Castaneda raised to 2,200 and her opponent called. The river was the and her opponent checked. Castaneda bet 2,300 and once again her opponent called. Castaneda showed for a straight and her opponent knocked the table and mucked his cards.
Castaneda shortly after announced to her opponent that she is a "luck-box," but with her previous results showing otherwise, she may just be toying with her opponents.
