Tom Schneider became the first multiple bracelet winner of the year earlier today after he took down Event #29 ($5,000 HORSE) for $318,955.

Schneider put on a clinic at the final table, building up a massive chip stack while dispatching the likes of Benjamin Scholl (2nd, $197,228) and Greg Mueller (3rd, $129,600).

As mentioned, this was the second bracelet that Schneider has won so far this year - he also took down Event #15 ($1,500 HORSE) earlier in the summer for $258,960.

This is the second year that Schneider has been able to take down two bracelets over the course of one summer. He also did it in 2007, winning the $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo 8 or Better for $214,347 and the $1,000 Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo 8 or Better for $147,713.

With his victory earlier today, Tom Schneider now has over $2.3 million in total lifetime tournament cashes.
