Tournament Notes:

-- The winner was Tom Schneider, also known as “Donkey Bomber.” He is an author / radio show host / poker player
from Scottsdale, Arizona. He is 47 years old.

-- The third time was a charm for Schneider. This was his third time to make it to a WSOP final table. His previous
finishes include a fourth and fifth. First place in this event paid $214,387.

-- Schneider is the author of a poker book called, “Oops! I Won Too Much Money.” He also hosts a regular radio
show called “Beyond the Table” in Phoenix.

-- Poker pro and former WSOP gold bracelet winner Annie Duke finished a less-than-satisfying third place in this
event. This was her 30th in-the-money finish at the WSOP, dating back to 1994. She has more WSOP cashes than
any female player in history.

-- The 2000 world poker champion Chris “Jesus” Ferguson finished in fourth place in this event. He was competing for
what would have been his sixth WSOP gold bracelet. Scotty Nguyen, the 1998 world champion finished tenth in this
event.

-- With his cash in this event, Mel Judah moved up into 13th place all-time – with 38 WSOP in-the-money finishes in his
lifetime.

-- This final table was played simultaneous to Event #4, which took place just steps away inside the main poker arena.
The Rio Pavilion was packed to capacity with spectators, as both final tables were filled with well-known players.
Interestingly, both final tables started and ended just minutes apart.

-- ESPN gave this event considerable coverage, although it was not one of the planned feature events. The
formidable final table lineup at both tables created a tough decision for the network, which moved cameras around
both tables most of the day/night.

WSOP GOLD BRACELET WINNER
EVENT #5 TOM SCHNEIDER

Tom Schneider is a 47-year old author-radio show host-poker player from Scottsdale, Arizona. He is originally from
Indianapolis. Before taking up a poker career, Schneider was a certified public accountant.   Later, he owned a golf
supply company. However, he now plays at very high limits in cash games and uses poker as a means to make a very
good living.

Schneider's normal game is $400-800 mixed which means he must play all forms of poker well.   The $400-800 level
(and up) is typically considered to be the benchmark for "world class" status amongst players.

This was Schneider's third time to make it to a WSOP final table.   His previous finishes include a fourth and fifth. First
place in this event paid $214,387 ?and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet designed and manufactured by luxury Swiss
watchmaker Corum.

Schneider is also a writer and broadcaster.   He is the author of a poker book called, "Oops! I Won Too Much Money."
He hosts a regular radio show in the Phoenix area called "Beyond the Table."

He is married to his wife Julie, who was with him at his crowning poker moment.   They have three daughters Lindsay,
Taylor, and Jessilyn.
