Level 8 : 400/800, 0 ante

Ole Schemion, pictured in a different event.

We found Ole Schemion facing a wager from Ruslan Dykshteyn on a flop of . Schemion slid out a stack of raising chips, and Dykshteyn wasted no time jamming it all in.

Dykshteyn:
Schemion:

Schemion was in a less-than-ideal spot with a flush draw against a set, and he bricked on the turn and river.

Ludovic Lacay picked up the beautiful hand and stared at it for a second.

"So this is what this looks like," he said longingly.

Schemion busted a short time later, as he was left with just 11,000.

Schwartz Checks Back AA; Sits With Killer Line-Up

Level 8 : 400/800, 0 ante

Joseph Cheong is among those at a very tough Table 366.

Four players saw the flop at Table 366, which came . Two checks ensued, and a player in middle position fired 7,700. Noah Schwartz called from the cutoff, and the other players folded. The turn and river got checked through, and the first player showed for kings. Schwartz had it beat with .

With the tables in the back breaking and the former residents of Table 403 long since having been scattered, Table 366 appears to have taken over as the local shark tank. Josh Pollock sits in Seat 1, going for his second straight year with a Pot-Limit Omaha bracelet. In the next spot, Yevgeniy Timoshenko is grinding a short stack, while Justin Bonomo occupies the four seat. Next in line is Christian Harder, and two spots later Schwartz sits next to Joseph Cheong.
