Sheila Stimson Earns Biggest Win of Her Career in NAPT Women's Event
Sheila Stimson had a career day on Wednesday when she took down the Women's Event at the PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Las Vegas for more than just money.
The poker player from North Carolina earned her biggest score — $11,380 — and defeated Christina Gollins, a World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) ring winner, heads-up for the title. But she earned a little something else on top as the victory came with a package to the upcoming £100,000 guaranteed PokerStars Women's Winter Poker Festival at Hippodrome Casino in London.
The $330 Women's Event had 182 entries at Resorts World Las Vegas. The prize pool hit $50,960 and 27 players reached the money.
There were a number of high-profile players in the field, and at the final table, including popular poker content creator Caitlin Comeskey, who took fifth place for $3,000. PokerStars ambassador Marle Spragg (18th place for $660) and PokerStars Ambassador for Women in Poker, Kerryjane Craigie (14th place for $880) cashed.
