Final Day Action
The day began with 15 hopefuls each guaranteed a min-cash of $21,566. Daniel "Oxota" Dvoress began the day with a big chip lead of more than double his nearest opponent in Finland's "osw666", who appeared to qualify into the event starting with a $53 feeder satellite.
The final day took just 3 hours and 45 minutes to play out with a final table getting reached within the first hours after the quick eliminations of Michael "Imluckbox" Addamo, Alexander "Alexgirs" Girs, Laurynas "LaurisL91" Levinskas, Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos, Fedor "CrownUpGuy" Holz, and Simon "Igorkarkarof" Ronnow Pedersen.
Dvoress still had the chip lead with Wiktor "limitless" Malinowski, Schemion, and "megaliciou$$$" closest on his tail.
Pieter "XMorphineX" Aerts was the first to go at the final table in ninth place for $34,349 after he unsuccessfully jammed his short stack with ace-ten suited into the ace-queen held by Steve "Mr. Tim Caum" O'Dwyer.
Sylvain "caIcuIer_" Loosli was next to go in eighth place for $43,350 after his top pair on the flop with ace-ten couldn't hold after "megaliciou$$$" improved to a flush on the turn with five-three suited.
"osw666" began the day second in chips but was short when they got their ace-four suited against the Malinowski's king-queen. "osw666" flopped top pair but two kings were on the board after the turn and this player was ousted in seventh place for $55,950.
Dvoress had the chip lead the entire day before things began to unravel. The lead first went to "megaliciou$$$" and then O'Dwyer during six-handed play. The lead went back to Dvoress and back again to "megaliciou$$$" before O'Dwyer regained the lead to build his lead to nearly triple of the closest stack.
Shortly after, Dvoress jammed a ten-high board on the turn with ace-ten and ran into Malinowski's jacks to hit the rail in sixth place for $72,213.
Sergi "srxakgirona" Reixach then hit the rail in fifth place for $93,204 after he jammed his short stack with queen-four into the ace-nine held by "megaliciou$$$".
O'Dwyer then hit a patch of bad luck. It was looking like the eventual champion Schemion would bow out in fourth place when he jammed his nines into O'Dwyer's aces but a nine hit the board and Schemion doubled instead of hitting the showers.
A similar pattern emerged a short while later when "megaliciou$$$" got a kind board with ace-ten against O'Dwyer's tens. "megaliciou$$$" soon after took the lead before temporarily giving it back to O'Dwyer. Soon later, Malinowski became the king of the hill for the first time of the day.
O'Dwyer's day was then over with him going out in fourth place for $120,295 after he unsuccessfully three-bet jammed his fours into Schemion's eights.
"megaliciou$$$" had the lead to start three-handed play. Schemion temporarily grabbed it before "megaliciou$$$" was able to amass more than half the chips in play.
Schemion then eliminated Malinowski in third place for $155,261. Malinowski jammed for 21 big blinds with treys and didn't get there against Schemion's sixes.
The stacks were fairly even to start heads-up play with "megaliciou$$$" holding a small lead over Schemion. The lead went to Schemion back to "megaliciou$$$" and back one final time to Schemion before the final hand took place.
A big pot brewed on the turn where "megaliciou$$$" committed all their chips with nine-eight for two pair on the board only to be drawing to two outs with Schemion holding a better two pair with ace-eight. A blank hit the river and "megaliciou$$$" was eliminated in second place for $200,291.
Meanwhile, congrats are in order for Ole "wizowizo" Schemion for winning his second SCOOP title this festival and fourth overall along with a healthy top prize of $258,639.
