Schemion Eliminated by Vuilleumier

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ole Schemion
Ole Schemion

Alexandre Vuilleumier opened to 20,000 on the button and Ole Schemion three-bet to 82,000 in the small blind. Vuilleumier called.

The dealer spread the {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop and Schemion continued for 44,000. Vuilleumier called.

The {8-Clubs} landed on the turn and Schemion moved out a bet of 110,000. Vuilleumier again called.

The {j-Diamonds} completed the board and Schemion checked. Vuilleumier moved all in to send Schemion into the tank with a decision for his remaining stack of approximately 255,000. Schemion used all of his time extensions as he deliberated and the clock started to wind down.

"Last one?" Schemion asked the dealer as he pointed to a time bank card.

"These are the last eight seconds," the dealer responded while the clock continued to tick.

"Call," Schemion announced as he put in chips with only a few seconds left to make a decision.

Vuilleumier tabled {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a rivered flush, and Schemion could only show {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts} as he made his exit from the tournament, while Vuilleumier became the chip leader.
