Watch Out, Ole is in the Chip Lead!

Chad Holloway

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Last week, Ole Schemion began the final day of the �50,000 Super High Roller as the chip leader. A few days after that, he was temporarily the chip leader in the Main Event. Now, amazingly, Schemion is the chip leader in the �10,000 High Roller.

It happened in a big hand against Vincent Verdickt and the winner of the �50,000 SHR, Vitaly Lunkin. The preflop details are a bit sketchy, but it appeared an unknown player opened and Schemion three-bet to 8,500 from the hijack. Verdickt then shoved all in for 18,000 from the cutoff, Lunkin five-bet to 30,000 and action folded back to Schemion.

The young German, who is not yet 21, enjoyed the massage he was receiving for a solid thirty seconds before spiking in a stack of blue T5,000 chips for a six-bet to 118,500. Lunkin shrugged and then slid in his chips, was right around the same amount.

Lunkin:
Schemion:
Verdickt:

Schemion got it in good and was looking to dodge aces and fives. With Lunkin and Verdickt both on their feet they watched helplessly as the board ran out . Lunkin shook hands with Schemion and then the dealer pushed the massive pot to the smiling German.
