Martini Clashes With Schemion
At one of the corner tables in the Salle des Etoiles, two of the biggest names in the field clashed in a three-bet pot. Ole Schemion, who already claimed five trophies at previous EPT's in Monte Carlo, raised it up from middle position and PSPC runner-up Julien Martini three-bet him from the cutoff. Schemion came along with the call.
The flop came down 
and Schemion checked. Martini bet 36,000, Schemion check-raised to 90,000, and Martini called. The turn brought the 
and Schemion shoved all in with superior stack, more than enough to put Martini to the test for his remaining 200,000.
The Frenchman thought for two minutes before calling it off for his tournament life.
Julien Martini: 
Ole Schemion: 
Schemion had flopped a set to take a commanding lead in the hand, and Martini needed to catch an eight, jack, or king if he was to survive. The 
on the river was neither and he was forced to make his way to the exit. With the hand, Schemion soared over a million in chips to pad his chip lead even further.
