Tom Schneider, the 2007 World Series of Poker Player of the Year, was one of seven former Players of the Year to enter this event. Right now, just three remain including Allen Cunningham, Frank Kassela, and of course Schenider.
In a recent hand of Stud, the player in Seat 4 brought it in with the and then called a completion from Scheider. The latter then fired bets on both the turn and fifth street, with the last bet inspiring his opponent to give up on the hand.

We caught the action on the turn when a player in Seat 4 check-called a bet from Aaron Steury. The action was repeated on fifth street, except the bet was Steury's last 600.
Steury: / /
Seat 4: / /
Seat 4 needed a club on the river to eliminate the defending champ, but he couldn't catch as the blanked. Steury survived, though he is still well below average.
When we arrived at David Williams' table a player was busy bringing it in with a showing. A player two to his left flicked in the call with a out in front of him and a flurry of cards were sent into the muck from around the table. It was then on Williams and he completed with a showing. The bring-in folded and the other player called.
Williams: (x-x) / / (x)
Opponent: (x-x) / / (x)
Williams led on fourth and fifth street and both players checked on sixth and seventh. When Williams' opponent turned over his in the hole, Williams' cards would go into the muck and portion of his chips to his opponent.
