Ole Schemion

The 2020 Spring Championship of Online Poker is slowly coming to an end, as it has been active for more than four weeks. Although several more events are yet to wrap up (including the Main Events), we witnessed many players winning titles in dozens of events. Some players even managed to win more than one.

For example, Ole Schemion managed to win in SCOOP 102-H: $10,3000 High Roller and win $258,639, which was his second 2020 SCOOP title. Moreover, this was his fourth SCOOP title overall, meaning he has been pretty successful in this tournament so far.

The German poker professional dominated the 2020 SCOOP, as he managed to get to the final table in eight events. Moreover, he received three six-figure payouts during the tournament.

Wednesday was a great day for some online poker players, as Schemion was not the only one that day to record a second 2020 SCOOP title. Tobias “Senkel92” Leknes and “Bomber&Granater” also managed to win their second titles in the tournament.

SCOOP-102-H – Event Overview

That’s a phrase that has a nice ring to it for Ole Schemion. After topping a field of 76 of some of the best poker players in the world in the Baccarat Crystal WPT Tournament of Champions, he adds his name a small list of champions in this event. “Champion of champions,” he said after the post-win photos. Mann des Tages aus DACH-Sicht war eindeutig Ole Schemion. Der Wahlwiener triumphierte beim $5.250 High Rollers Sunday Blade Open und kassierte rund $59.000, doch damit hatte er noch nicht genug. Als Zweiter in Chips zog er zudem ins Finale des $10.300 Super MILLION$ High Rollers ein, wobei er zuvor allerdings vier Bullets investiert hatte.

SCOOP-102-H was an 8-Max High Roller event that focused on No-Limit Hold’em. It required the buy-in of $10,300, and the guaranteed prize was $1 million.

The event attracted a total of 118 entries, including 38 players who re-entered the game. All of them managed to create the final prize pool of $1,180,000, but it was Schemion who took the biggest piece of that cake in the end.

The final table was star-studded, as many popular online players managed to get to the final eight. The first player to hit the rail, in ninth place, was Pieter “XMorphineX” Aerts from Belgium, who won $34,349 for his effort.

After that, it was time for Sylvain “calculer_” Loosli to leave the game in eighth position and a total of $43,350 earned from the event.
The seventh position belonged to a Finnish player who uses the nickname “osw666.” They earned $55,950 for their effort.

One of the best poker players in Canada, Daniel Dvoress, ended up sixth. “Oxota” won a total of $72,213.

The next one in line to hit the rail was Sergi Reixach, another poker super-star. “Srxakgirona” has managed to win $93,204 as the fifth-placed player.

One of the most popular poker players in the world, and most popular in Ireland — his home country — is Steve O’Dwyer. Steve uses the nickname “Mr. Tim Caum” in the world of online poker, and he managed to earn $120,295 as fourth place in this event.

The last player to hit the rail before the heads-up play could start was Wiktor “limitless” Malinowski, another outstanding poker professional. Malinowski won $155,261.

The last opponent on Schemion’s road to victory was a player from Romania who uses the nickname “megaliciou$$$.” However, the Romanian had to settle for second place and won a total of $200,291 as a consolation prize.

Other Second-Title Winners

“Bomber&Granater” was one of the more successful players in this year’s SCOOP. He managed to win his second title by taking down SCOOP 102-L: $1,050 NLHE.

The event recorded 642 entries, and the prize pool was $642,000. The winner from Austria won $112,057. Earlier in the tournament, he managed to win a similar prize by taking down another event.

Tobias “Senkel92” Leknes from Norway managed to win his second title in SCOOP 106-L: $11 PL 5-Card Draw — an event that attracted 1,701 players. The total prize pool was $16,670, and Leknes won $2,522.

After three days of top-notch poker action, Ole Schemion became the fourth player to have his name added to a limited list of World Poker Tour (WPT) champion of champions.

Ole Schemion Birthday

The German poker star topped a field of 76 entries to win the Baccarat Crystal WPT Tournament of Champions which took place over the course of three days from June 1-3, at the HyperX Esports Arena in Luxor, Las Vegas.

Schemion managed to work his way to the top of a tough final table, competing against some of the best in the game, including Tony Dunst, Ryan Tosoc, Simon Lam, Griffin Paul and Nick Schulman.

Final Table Action

The final table started with Schemion being the chip lead, but the German pro lost a huge amount of those chips early in the game. At one point he came in third in chips and almost got busted during a pivotal hand with three players remaining.

Ole Schulman was the first to leave the final table after a devastating hand which saw the poker commentator calling from the cutoff after Lam opened to 17,000 from the hijack. Tosoc moved all-in from the big blind, Lam folded, with Schulman eventually making the call. When the cards turned over, Schulman was initially ahead of Tosoc, but a queen on the flop gave Tosoc the edge and soon after, Schulman hit the rail in sixth place for $63,890.

After nearly two hours, Paul was the next to get eliminated in fifth place for $84,140. Schemion raised from under the gun to 35,000, with Lam defending his big blind. When the flop came, Lam check-raised for 178,000 against Shemion’s bet of 50,000. Schemion called. The final card dealt was ace of hearts, sending Lam out of the game in fourth place for $115,945.

Crucial Hand

During one of the most interesting hands of the final day, Schemion opened the button to 35,000; Tosoc three-bet to 125,000 and Schemion called. Tosoc then check-called Schemion’s bet of 65,000 and after the turn, the latter moved all in for 500,000. Tosoc eventually made the call and almost eliminated Schemion, if not for the queen of spades which landed on the river just in time to save Schemion. Tosoc finished third with $166,845.

Tosoc’s exit left Schemion and Dunst competing for the top prize, with Schemion holding the chip advantage. After 17 hands and a little less than an hour of heads-up play, Tony Dunst finished in second place for $250,265.
