In the final heads-up, Ole Schemion was opposed by the Austrian player with the “Mr Gambol” nickname. The future champion showed his mastery so that MrGambol could do nothing to beat Schemion.
In the last hand of the tournament, both poker players went all-in: Schemion had K-K, while MrGambol had 5-5. If another 5 had appeared on the board, the Austrian could have emerged victorious, but fate intended otherwise.
