Scotty Nguyen's feature table has been broken and he was moved over to a table that had Kirk Morrison and Sam Simon. The tournament staff have decided that this is a table also worthy of being highlighted, and so have moved this group over to the smaller feature table.

Tom Schneider, 2007 WSOP Player of the Year, Eliminated

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Board:

Preflop, Tom Schneider raises in the cutoff. The button makes it 16,000 and Schneider is all in for 35,000 more. The button calls and shows K-K to Schneider's 9-9. The board doesn't help Schneider and he is eliminated. That's okay, though -- Tom Schneider had a phenomenal series and should feel proud.
