On Sunday, however, Schneider once again found himself in the winner’s circle after taking down event no. 15, the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. event. Schneider earned his third gold bracelet and the $258,960 first-place prize after topping a field of 862.
The 53-year-old from Arizona was ecstatic to have won another bracelet after so many close calls.
“I’ve been cashing a lot in events,” Schneider said. “Last year, I cashed in six events, but I seemed to be missing out on going deep and making a final table. It had been a while. It’s nice to know I can still play. There are a lot of good players now. The events are tougher than they’ve ever been. It’s just nice to get some validation that I can still play with these younger kids.”
Schneider, who is also an author and country music songwriter, has made 7 final table appearances at the WSOP. He now has $1.95 million in career tournament earnings.
Other notables at the final table included Eddie Blumenthal, Scott Bohlman, Frankie O’Dell, Rep Porter and eventual runner-up finisher Owais Ahmed.
