Schemion Raises the River All In in Huge Last Hand Before the Break

Webjoker

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The break was well underway but a large crowd gathered around Ole Schemion's table as there was something big going on. With on the board Mike Watson in the hijack had a 100,000 bet in front of him. Schemion on the button requested the all in triangle and so put maximum pressure on his Canadian opponent.

Rocco Palumbo told us that it was a single raised pot and that Watson had check raised Schemion to 50,000 on the turn. Schemion had called that check raise in position, and now pushed over Watson's big river bet.

Watson tanked for a while and the crowd got bigger. "Ace-queen with the ace of clubs?" Watson asked at one point without expecting a reply. Schemion stayed silent as expected.

Eventually Watson folded whuile mumbling something we couldn't quite catch unfortunately. Schemion mucked silently. Because it was a break, and the 100's would be raced off, Schemion didn't stack his chips. With some 30 high stacks and lots of smaller stacks, we couldn't 100 percent get his chip count right. We do expect that he plays just over 600,000 now though.
