Poker News: The last event of the year at the 2007 WSOP that counts towards the WSOP Player of the Year Award had Tom Schneider going into it as a heavy favorite to win the award. Play online poker
The "DonkeyBomber" only had one poker player who could possibly catch him - Jeffrey Lisandro. Read poker blogs
It would have needed Lisandro to finish in fourth place or better to beat Schneider. According to Bodog Beat, there was a little uneasiness between the players and they finished in the money but, as luck would have it, it turned out to be irrelevant. Play route 66 poker
Schneider was called by Allen Cunningham. Cunningham's high card of 8 held up and Schneider walked away in 16th place. Play $500 match poker bonus

Lee Watkinson: It’s been kind of dry, I have been bubbling like a hot coke on ice. I have bubbled five times within seven places of the money. This is my last event ($1,000 no-limit hold’em with rebuys) before the main event. I actually made the worst play of the World Series in this event. I misread my hand, I thought I had a 4-5 and flopped two pair against pocket kings. I knew the guy had a big pair. He moves in, I call, and throw them over and I have 3-4. The 3-4 was suited and there was one of the suit on the flop and it came runner and then the king of that suit on the river, so that turned out to be my best play of the Series so far.

CP: What has Harrah’s done right and wrong with the WSO Poker Tournament this year, and what can they fix for next year?
LW: I would like to see them move the players off the rail a little bit.
[We are standing watching the $10,000 pot-limit Omaha poker tournament that is down to 10 players and has spectators literally less than a foot away from the final table players.]
LW: Like in this Omaha event, players are trying to look at their cards and the railbirds are talking. That guy there in the yellow shirt, he was talking so much earlier that I had to ask him to hold it down and he did for about a minute and when I asked again, he looked at the table and asked if he was bothering anyone else. He left when I called the floor but his buddy stayed there and talked on about me calling the floor for no reason. Play route 66 poker
Fans on the rail will actually say things like “Man I would have played that hand” when you muck your cards. It’s just not a good situation. I mean these guys are playing for a million dollars, and after 12 hours of play anything can irritate you and throw you off our game. Play $500 match poker bonus
CP: How have you felt about the schedule? Play women poker
LW: I would like to see more of these $1,000 rebuy poker tournaments and less of the $1,500 events. A $1,000 rebuy hits all of the players. The player who wants to play for $1,000 can play; those who want to go for $10,000 and the players who want to play for $40,000 can do that, too. Download poker wallpapers
