The winner of Event #46, the ,000 buy-in Seven-Card Stud High-Low championship was 47-year-old poker player and author Tom Schneider, from Scottsdale, AZ. This was his second victory at the World Series of Poker, and second gold bracelet won this year. He previously prevailed in the mixed-game event (Omaha High-Low and Seven-Card Stud).

Schneider's victory means that the WSOP will have crowned a double-gold bracelet winner in each of the last four years. Despite the huge tournament fields, at least one player at each World Series in recent years was able to break through the ranks.
