LBK,

I also don't doubt that she can afford to pay her own way for a WSOP seat, which makes this even more lame.

IMHO Shannon needed Steve to fold out. From my read on this situation it appears that she wanted to be able to call herself the tourney winner. Unless either Danneman or Terrence gave their chips to the other then Shannon would be the unofficial winner (maybe the official winner). I believe this was her true motivation. It would certainly be my motivation if I didn't need the money.
