Ole Schemion took the 1st place in PartyPoker The Grand tournament

​PartyPoker introduced a new tournament called “The Grand” with $1 050 buy-in and $200 000 guarantee. This event replaced Big Game with $5 200 buy-in and $500 000 guarantee (for now, it is out of season).

The first Grand tournament collected 281 entries that beat the guarantee, and as a result, the prize pool reached the mark of $280 000. There were few famous players in the final, but in heads-up Schemion fought against a little-known Simon Grabenschweiger.
