Webjoker

When Ole Schemion won the EPT Sanremo €10k High Roller last week for €265,000, it was his tenth live event win, and 28th final table. It also gave the 21-year-old a virtually unassailable lead in the EPT Player of the Year race, now cemented by making the final table. Schemion, already #7 on the Germany all time money list with $4.7m in live tournament winnings, first hit the spotlight at last season’s Grand Final when he won three major side events. His first live cash took place only three years ago when he took down a €1k EPT Berlin side event for €54,200 in Season 7, six months after his 18th birthday. The 1,086 POY points he has accrued in Season 10 come from ten major cashes including 7th in both the PCA High Roller and Super High Roller (and a cash in the Main), fifth at EPT Prague, and sixth in both the Barcelona High Roller and Super High Rollers (plus, of course, a cash in the Main).

Schemion no slouch online either and started his career on PokerStars by winning the MTT leaderboard in 2011. He’s made final tables in the Sunday Million, WCOOP, SCOOP and Sunday 500, and took down the Super Tuesday in 2012 for $73,027. Ole finished 7th in the PokerStars Super Tuesday just a couple of days ago for $18,947.50.
