A couple days ago, Tom Schneider took down Event #15: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. to claim his third career WSOP bracelet. Schneider is still in contention in today's field as he looks to capture his second bracelet in a week, and amazingly his wife, Julie, is along for the ride... as a player! That's right, both Tom and Julie are in the money here in Event #20: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Low 8-or-Better.
In a recent hand, Tom Schneider limped from middle position only to have Scott Eskenazi raise from the button. The blinds both folded and Schneider made the call. Neither Schneider nor Eskenazi had many chips, but that didn't stop the latter from betting after the former had checked. Schneider responded with a check-raise, Eskenazi called and the dealer burned and turned the .
Schneider wasted little time in leading out and Eskenazi quickly called off his remaining 2,400.

Schneider had the high with a full house while Eskenazi's ace-six low was currently the best low. The failed to change either of their hands and the two chopped the pot.

Level: 15
Blinds: 1,300/2,500
Ante: 0
The players have returned to their chairs. Two more levels before we are off to dinner.
The players have taken their second 20 minute break of the day.
Hand-for-hand play lasted approximately five hands, and it was actually quite an interesting affair as three extremely short stacks played position in the hopes of folding their way into the money. Unfortunately for Greg Masterson, who was the shortest with a single lavender T500 chip, the blinds hit him first.
Masterson received some protection when the player in the cutoff raised and drove the rest of the field out. The cutoff showed and Masterson, who hadn't looked at his cards up to that point, revealed the . The board ran out giving the cutoff a wheel, but it also gave Masterson a flush. The two chopped the pot and Masterson had 800.
Those chips went in automatically in the next hand as Masterson inherited the small blind. This time he would have to face four other players, including John Racener and Stephen Chidwick. There was a bet and two calls on the flop, and then the three active players checked down the turn and river.
Racener tabled the for two pair, Chidwick the for an ace-seven low and an early-position player the for not much of anything. Masterson, who hadn't looked at his cards, didn't have much to beat to stay alive. Appropriately, he'd have to wait to see what he held as the tournament staff halted the action due to another all-in situation at another table.
Upon our arrival there were discovered Mike Leah all in with the in front of him on a board. Unfortunately for him, Christopher Meyer had a huge lead with the . The river failed to help Leah and he was officially eliminated from the tournament.
Meanwhile, Masterson was finally able to tabled his cards and showed the . It wasn't what he was looking for and he joined Leah on the rail. Since they busted in the same hand, Masterson and Leah will split the $2,600 prize money associated with 117th place.

Stephen Chidwick has assembled quite an impressive looking stack that might even make Jason Mercier a bit jealous, but we just saw him lose a bit of it to former November Niner John Racener.
Both players had a ton of chips in the middle in front of them when we got to the table to see the board completed . Racener fired out a river bet, and Chidwick made the call. Racener tabled for top two pair, and Chidwick kicked his cards in.

The aforementioned money bubble has arrived. Players will play one hand, then wait for all other tables to finish. We will lose one more player before the money very shortly.
The exact action escape us, but we do know that Christine Antoniuk of Boise, Idaho got the last of her chips in on a board reading and was called by Donald Yucius.
"You got a boat?" Antoniuk asked. Yucius shook his head in the affirmative. "Then you have me drawing dead."
Antoniuk then tabled the , and sure enough, Yucius had her drawing dead with the . The meaningless was run out on the river and Antoniuk exited the tournament floor.
