He wore Tonnellier down to just three $1,000 chips and it was clear Schneider had the win in the bag. Tonnellier didn't give up and he ended up running his stack back up over $20,000 before Schneider was able to finish the job. With both players all in when Schneider completed, he was dealt A
Q4 and Tonnellier KK2. 4th street brought Schneider the A and Tonnellier the 9. With the rail calling for an ace, six street complied and gave Schneider the A and he took the lead in the hand. It also brought Tonnellier the 3 and he picked up two pair and a flush draw. Tonnellier's seventh street didn't matter however, when Schneider filled up with the 4 to win his first WSOP bracelet.
