German poker player Ole Schemion has won the 2012 Partouche Poker Tour Final.

The 5^th annual event had undergone some bad press in recent days after tour organizers reneged on an initial €5 million guarantee, chopping it €4.3 million, to only to reinstate the original amount over the weekend.

Ole Schemion’s take was a cool $1.5 million.

Up until today, Schemion had only won $314,549 in live tournaments but has cashed in 7 so far this year, including 1^st place and a nearly $100,000 cash at the EPT Berlin Season 8 No Limit Hold’em back in April.

Here are the final results and payouts:

Place	Player	Earnings	POY Points
1	Ole Schemion	$1,473,769	2100
2	Karen Sarkisyan	$871,424	1750
3	Aaron Lim	$524,617	1400
4	Dan O’Brien	$429,736	1050
5	Marcello Marigliano	$336,123	875
6	Fabrice Touil	$280,841	700
7	Dan Smith	$224,293	525
8	Tomeu Gomila	$175,290	350
9	Tom Alner	$132,448	175

Gambling Heroes Who Should Be Featured Over and Over Again

For the most part, poker players and successful gamblers in general tend to hog the glory. While some players rise to titanic levels of popularity, others tend to fade into the background, of no fault of their own.
