Tom "DonkeyBomber" Schneider - 2 Bracelets in 2007
Tom "DonkeyBomber" Schneider - 2 Bracelets in 2007
Just before play resumed, there was a ceremony presenting Tom "DonkeyBomber" Schneider with the WSOP Player of the Year award. Schneider won two bracelets at the 2007 WSOP. He's the only player that has won two bracelets this year... so far.

Alex Kravchenko won a bracelet in a preliminary event and if he can come from behind and win the WSOP main event, he will become a multiple bracelet winner in 2007.

Since 2000, there has been at least one multiple bracelet winner at the WSOP every year.

2000: Chris "Jesus" Ferguson (2)

2001: Nani Dollison (2) and Scotty Nguyen (2)

2002: Phil Ivey (3) and Layne Flack (2)

2003: Chris "Jesus" Ferguson (2), Men the Master Nguyen (2), Johnny Chan (2), Phil Hellmuth (2), John Juanda (2), Layne Flack (2)

2004: Scott Fischman (2) and Ted Forrest (2)

2005: Mark Seif (2)

2006: Bill Chen (2) and Jeff Madsen (2)

2007: "DonkeyBomber" Schneider (2)

PokerNews Video: Jon Kalmar - 5th Place Finisher

PokerNews grabbed 5th-place finisher Jon Kalmar just after he busted out of the Main Event. Jon, after having a bad run in WSOP prelims, tried to return home early the day before the Main Event. The cost to change his ticket was more than he was willing to pay, so he decided to stay and play the Main Event.

Click here to see the interview with Jon, along with all the other videos from the Main Event.

Last 10 Hands: 81-90

Not too much chip movement over the last ten hands. Only one hand went to the river. Raymond Rahme woke up and won 4 hands. He moved all in on Hand #89 and did not get any action. Rahme is second in chips. Yang won four pots in the last ten hands and has now won 34 out of 90 hands. He is still the chipleader.

Hand #90 - Alex Kravchenko

Hand #90 - Tuan Lam has the button in seat 6, Raymond Rahme raises from the small blind to 2.1 million, and after about a minute, Alex Kravchenko stands up and moves all in from the big blind for 9.7 million.

Raymond Rahme thinks for more than a minute before he folds, and the Russian fans cheer. Kravchenko shows one card -- the {A-Spades} -- as he collects the pot.
