Can Julie Schneider Keep the Streak Alive?
Level 4
: 300/600, 0 ante
Julie Schneider has put together quite an impressive list of cashes in this very event.
She's cashed for four consecutive years and counting, coming in 40th last year for $4,573, 42nd in 2015 for $4,733, 29th in 2014 for $6,490, and 8th in 2013 for $19,952. Along with that, she has also had sucess in the $5,000 and $1,500 iterations of the Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better/Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Mix events, as well.
Schneider has not had the best start to the day, as she is just below starting stack, but it's still early in the day, and that can easily turn around.
