Though he did not collect any bounties this tournament, he collected a nice new piece of jewelry to add to his already very decorated tournament results. “It has been very difficult to play any live poker with things how they are,” he said when discussing his absence from live poker “I was really craving it and it just feels great to come out here to play, now it feels even better now that I have won something.”Ī relatively experienced final table was facing Schemion with former November niner Jerry Wong, and number one on the Philippines all-time money list Marc Rivera. The 29-year old German pro, who resides now in Austria with his wife and two kids, has an impressive resume of over $16 million in lifetime earnings, and has collected his first live cash in over two years. “It’s what we all try to do but it feels very good to run through a good field and win one.”

“It’s not too often in live tournaments that you come in first place,” said Schemion after his win.

After only two hours of play in Event #79: $1,979 Hall Of Fame Bounty No-Limit Hold’em, it was Ole Schemion who came out on top, winning his first WSOP bracelet and $172,499.
