Hand #83: Ole Schemion raised to 180,000 with the 
and Michal Mrakes three-bet to 600,000 with the 
. They headed to a flop of 
and Mrakes moved all in.
Schemion asked for a count and the shove of the Czech was for 3.605 million, two third of Schemion’s remaining stack. After using two time bank extensions of 30 seconds each, Schemion called.
“I have a good feeling about this,” Mrakes said while both waited for the photographers and crew were ready for the all in showdown.
One after the other, the 
turn and the 
on the river were exposed, failing to improve Mrakes, and he was eliminated in 2nd place for €143,845 ($178,892)
“I had such a good feeling about this tournament since Day one,” Schemion said right after when talking with the WPT commentators Tony Dunst and Vince Van Patten. After reaching his first WPT Main Tour final table, the German poker wonder kid claimed the first-ever WPT title and €218,435 ($255,352) for his efforts.
