Schemion Doubles

Level 23 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Richard Yong raised to 200,000 on the button, and then Ole Schemion reraised all in for just about 800,000. Yong called with the {J-Spades}{6-Hearts}, and Schemion had the {A-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

On the {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop, Yong took the lead with a pair of jacks. The {5-Hearts} was a very sweatastic turn card, and then the river completed the board with the {4-Hearts}. Schemion vaulted back in front with a river flush, and he doubled up to 1.6 million in chips.

It took a bit of a cooler to lose the third-placed player here at the Crown after more than three hours of play since a bustout took place.

Ole Schemion raised from the button before Scott Seiver moved all in from the small blind and Richard Yong did the same from the big blind. Schemion folded to leave them to it.

Seiver: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Yong: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran {3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{3-Spades}{q-Hearts} to send Seiver on his way with a million in his back pocket.
