Another elimination soon followed for the former partypoker Ambassador, with Vyacheslav Buldygin losing a flip with pocket eights to bust against Koon who had now eliminated five of the last six players.

Schemion then eliminated Adria Diaz Dalmau in fourth place and Bonomo in third place to reach heads-up.
