The $100k buy-in event is down to 8 players after 2 intensive days of play. Germany's Ole Schemion will lead the remaining 8 players into Saturday's final table with 1,888,000 in chips - about 700k more than his closest opponent, Jason Mo.
Schemion finished Day 2 with such a big lead thanks to busting UK's Tony Bloom in 10th place. Bloom, who has Aussie Millions cashes dating back to 2004, bet all his chips on the river of the board A K 10 Q Q Q with a flush. Schemion called with AQ for a full house.
Despite being the big chip leader, Schemion needs to play his very best game on tomorrow's final table if he wants to become the champion of this event. Have a look at the final table line up below and you'll understand what I'm saying.
