Ole Schemion

1. A peculiar hand took place on day 2 of the EPT 11 Grand Final €100k Super High Roller between Ole Schemion and Dario Sammartino. More info here http://bit.ly.
2. Ole Schemion managed to get the second victory at SCOOP 2020. However, it is worth noting that he became the owner of the fourth SCOOP title for all the time of series’ holding. At the final table, Ole fought against the real poker masters, but the German player was able to win.
3. Ole Schemion, a German poker pro, is the WPT Tournament of champions winner. The tournament attracted 76 entries which are slightly lower than last year’s total of 80. It took Ole Schemion three days to emerge the winner, consequently earning his second prestigious WPT title for a whopping $440, 395.
4. Ole Schemion did exactly that on Monday night, winning the WPT TOC for $440,395 by beating Tony Dunst heads up. Prior to the TOC, Schemion’s only cash on the WPT came when he won the WPT European Championship in January, 2018. Two cashes, two wins and $696,000 in total earnings.

Ole wizowizo Schemion emerged triumphant ahead of a strong field in the SCOOP $10k High Roller on PokerStars last night, winning $258,639 after a final table battle that included Steve O Dwyer.

There were a lot of firsts this week on the World Poker Tour (WPT). You had the inaugural WPT European Championship, which, held in Berlin, was also the first WPT Main Tour event to be held in Germany. It was the first televised Main Tour event in Europe in five years (so much for “World” Poker Tour) and it was the first WPT win for Ole Schemion, who just happens to be a Berlin native.

Schemion was the chip leader going into the final table, but it was a close race for the top spot. He had 2.840 million chips, while Michael Mrakes had 2.640 million and Hanyong Kuo had 2.505 million. After those three, it was a steep drop to the next three: Amjad Nader had 1.095 million, Michael Behnert had 600,000, and Patric Brandt had 470,000.

It was as easy of a final table for Schemion as you will ever see on the World Poker Tour. From the get-go, he extended his lead, and while he didn’t win every hand he got involved in, he was never really at risk of even taking a big hit.

Though there were some short stacks to begin the final table, it took until after the first break for anyone to be eliminated. On Hand 37 (thank you, WPT.com), a crippled Nader shoved pre-flop with K-Q and both Schemion (A-T) and Mrakes (9-9) made the call. The flop of A-6-5 gave Schemion the lead, so he bet to force a fold from Mrakes. It’s too bad for Mrakes that he did that (though quite reasonable), an 8 on the turn and 7 on the river would have given him a straight. As it were, Schemion won the hand and eliminated Nader in sixth place.

Twenty hands later, Kuo moved all-in pre-flop for just 170,000 chips with K-9 suited. Schemion called with a dominating A-9. Nothing on the board helped Kuo and his kicker and he was out in fifth place.

Then, just three hands later, Behnert was gone. He shoved pre-flop with A-9 suited, called by Brandt and his K-3 suited. A 3 landed on the flop and nothing else showed up to improve Behnert’s hand, so the tournament was down to three players.

The knockouts kept coming, as on Hand 61, only two hands after Behnert’s ouster, it was time for Brandt to go. Honestly, I don’t know exactly what happened, as WPT.com’s account was incomplete, but the money got in on the flop with Brandt holding J-9 suited and Schemion holding at least a 4. As none of the board cards helped Brandt, I’ll guess that Schemion had A-4 or 4-4 and it held up.

At any rate, Schemion went into heads-up against Mrakes with a 6.685 million to 3.465 million chip lead. Mrakes was able to close the gap a bit after Schemion initially grew his lead, but it wasn’t enough. On the final hand, Schemion raised to 180,000 pre-flop with K-7 of clubs, Mrakes three-bet to 600,000 with 7-5 of spades, and Schemion called. The flop was K-Q-9 with two spades, giving Schemion top pair and Mrakes a flush draw. Mrakes shoved and after much thought, including the use of two time bank extensions chips, Schemion decided to call. The flush never appeared for Mrakes and Ole Schemion won the WPT European Championship.

We said in our Super MILLION$ final table preview that Ole Schemion was only a double up away from being a major force in the tournament and it appears our prediction was correct.

Ole Schemion Instagram

Schemion sat down at the final table seventh in chips yet navigated his way to the title and the tournament’s huge $317,740 top prize. This was Schemion’s eighth Super MILLION$ appearance and only his second cash. Two investors are delighted with Schemion’s victory because he sold 1.2% of himself at 1.23 mark-up. We guess they’re celebrating too.

Super MILLION$ Final Table Chip Counts

Play got underway shortly after each player chose whether or not to switch their seats. The first player busted on the very first hand after the restart! Matthias Eibinger, the start of the day chip leader, raise to 100,000 with ace-deuce at the 20,000/40,000/5,000a level. Philippe DAuteuil was to Eibinger’s immediate left and he’d been deal pocket kings. The Canadian shoved for 1,058,610. David Miscikowski, to DAuteuil’s left, called off his 805,422 stack with ace-king and everyone else folded. A board void of drama sent Miscikowski to the rail.

Schemion Busts Winter

Eighth-place went to Sean Winter who started the final table as the shortest stack. Winter attempted to improve his position by making a play against Schemion, but it was ill-timed. Schemion min-raised to 100,000 with ace-queen on the button and Winter three-bet to 400,000 with ace-deuce in the small blind. Stephen Chidwick folded in the big blind, Schemion set his opponent all-in and Winter called off his last 289,202 chips. A queen on the turn locked up the hand for Schemion and resigned Winter to the $53,647 eighth place prize.

Nator’s Out of the Box Thinking Leads to His Demise

Mexico’s “Nator” was the next player to fall, doing so at the hands of Schemion. Nator couldn’t win a hand and went from fourth in chips at the start to being the shortest stack.

Schemion min-raised to 100,000 on the button with pocket eights and he called when Nator jammed his 995,329 stack into the middle from the big blind with what turned out to be ten-try suited. That bizarre hand failed to melt Schemion’s snowmen and the tournament lost another player. Brunno Albuquerque used the thank you emoji as Nator’s out of the box play saw everyone ladder up by at least $20,000.

That was three eliminations in the open half-hour and that soon became four bustouts with the elimination of Brazil’s Albuquerque. He opened six-times the big blind to 300,000 leaving himself 460,036 chips behind. “MrGambol” three-bet all-in for 803,552 in the small blind and the Brazilian called. It was ace-queen for Albuquerque and pocket sevens for MrGambol. An ace appeared on the flop, but there was also a seven. Ace-queen was drawing dead by the turn.

Turning $100 Into $114,982

Then came the exit of DAuteuil who qualified for this event for only $100. That $100 is now worth $114,982 although he sold 50% of himself at 1.1 mark-up to seven investors.

DAuteuil’s impressive run ended shortly after losing a huge pot to MrGambol. The satellite winner’s remaining 445,822 chips went into the middle from the big blind with ace-nine after Eibinger set him all-in from the small blind with the dominated queen-nine. Eibinger’s hand didn’t stay second best for long because he flopped a queen within seconds of sending the ElkY goodbye emoji.

Schemion now had his foot firmly on the gas and was playing 60% of the hands dealt to him. That may have been the case but it was Eibinger who claimed the scalp of Chidwick to reduce the player count once again. Chidwick raised to 176,000 from under the gun at the 40,000/80,000/10,000a level with suited ace-nine. Eibinger raised to 544,000 from the small blind with pocket kings and snap-called when Chidwick decided to push all-in for 3,369,804 in total. Eibinger flopped a set and Chidwick couldn’t draw out on him.

Eibinger Becomes Yet Another Schemion Victim

Heads-up was set when Eibinger bit the dust in third-place, a finish worth $191,139. Schemion min-raised to 320,000 on the button with ace-seven, Eibinger committed his 2,166,540 stack from the big blind with pocket sixes, and Schemion called. Yet another coinflip would determine a superstar’s fate. The flip went Schemion’s way courtesy of the board four flushing with hearts and Schemion holding the seven of hearts.

That hand levelled up the stacks somewhat with Schemion going into heads-up with 6,655,452 chips to MrGambol’s 8,324,548. MrGambol claimed the chip lead just before Eibinger busted thanks to finding aces against Schemion’s ace-king when three-handed for a cooler of a hand.

Schemion exacted revenge, however, and scooped the title after a relatively short but intense one-on-one clash. The final hand saw MrGambol min-raise to 400,000 with pocket fives, Schemion three-bet to 1,200,000. MrGambol reacted with a jam for 5,192,376 and Schemion, obviously, beat him into the pot with a call. An ace-high board was safe for Schemion’s cowboys and MrGambol crashed out, banking $246,440, leaving Schemion to pad his bankroll with $317,740.
