A rushed phone call from Pokerati contributor and Beyond The Table co-host, Tom Schneider, informs us that our friend is sitting comfortable with over T$27,000 at the first break in the World Poker Challenge in Reno. For those who recall, this is the same event where the WPT gave Tom his television debut and Mike Sexton gave him his nickname, “The Donkey Bomber”. Our Blog fingers are crossed for another final table. And while another quarter mill wouldn’t be bad, if it comes with a less than first place finish, we doubt Tom will share our sentiments.
