Ole Schemion wins GGPoker Super MILLION$ HR Main Event

Sometimes, the smaller chip stack at a final table just manages to make a comeback. That’s what happened with Ole Schemion during the recent $10,300 Super MILLION$ HR Main Event tournament at GGPoker. The poker player was fifth in chips at the final table with just under three dozen big blinds, looking like he would have to settle for a lower finish. But that was not the case.

Schemion was able to dig his way out of the lower chip count and eventually win the event, becoming the 13^th player to win two Super MILLION$ tournaments.

How It Happened

Nine players made it to the Super MILLION$ final table, so Schemion was sitting pretty in the middle when the round began. Deividas Daubaris had the shortest stack so it was surprising to see him bust in 9^th place. Russian player kolayruss1978 would be knocked out in 8^th place after open-shoving with 10-9 of clubs. Schemion took the hand, which helped to build his chip stack.

Ronan Sweeney was next to go, having lost a good chunk of his chip stack during a big hand earlier in the day. Sweeney was all-in with A-Q and Simon Mattsson called with pocket jacks. Mattsson earned a set which gave him the hand and Sweeney’s tournament life was over.

After Joao Vieira was knocked out and then Chris Klodnicki, it left four players in the event. Renat Bohdanov knocked out Klodnicki, earning a huge chip stack, and moving to second in chips. Schemion would then double via Bohdanov after going at him hard with A-7 and knocking him out of the competition. Once Rui Ferreira was out in third, it left Mattsson and Schemion to duke it out in heads-up play.

The Heads-Up Round

Once the final two poker players were ready to go head-to-head, the chip stacks were pretty even. Schemion did gain a lead eventually, after gaining a huge pot. When the final hand went down, Schemion was all-in with 9-6 of clubs. Mattsson called with K-J and a nine on the flop was enough for Schemion to claim the hand and the title win.

With the finish, Schemion was able to claim his second Super MILLION$ champion title and a cool $1.4 million in prize money.
