Ole Schemion is a German professional poker player and one of the most prolific tournament crushers of the modern era. A former Global Poker Index (GPI) world number one and World Series of Poker bracelet winner, Schemion is legendary for his “wizowizo” online dominance and a fearless live tournament strategy that has earned him titles on every major global tour.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
With total live tournament earnings surpassing $21,650,000 (according to The Hendon Mob), Schemion sits in the top 10 of the German All-Time Money List. His career-best live score of $1,807,078 came from his victory in the 2016 EPT Monte Carlo €100,000 Super High Roller. He is a WSOP bracelet winner, capturing his first gold in the 2021 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $1,979 Hall of Fame Bounty event. A consistent threat at the Triton Poker Series , he secured a major title in London in 2023, winning a $50,000 High Roller for $1,350,000. These elite results across WSOP, EPT, and Triton contribute to an estimated poker net worth of over $15 million.
Biography & Poker Background
Born in 1992 in Berlin, Germany, Schemion began his poker journey as a teenage prodigy, quickly making a name for himself in the online world under the handle “wizowizo.” He famously won his first live tournament at age 19 and hasn’t slowed down since. Between 2013 and 2015, he held the #1 spot on the GPI for 18 consecutive weeks, cementing his reputation as the world’s best tournament player during that period. Now residing in Vienna, Austria, Schemion remains a staple of the high-stakes community, balancing his live circuit travels with a legendary online presence where he has won multiple SCOOP and WCOOP titles.
Play Style & Strategy
Schemion is world-renowned for an “unorthodox, intuitive, and hyper-aggressive” play style that defies standard classification. While he possesses a deep understanding of modern GTO concepts, his strategy relies heavily on a “sixth sense” for timing and physical reads—traits that make him one of the most unpredictable opponents in the world. He is a master of situational aggression, often taking lines that solvers might deem unconventional but that effectively exploit his opponents’ psychological weaknesses. His ability to switch between being a “disciplined nit” and a “relentless bully” at a moment’s notice is why he remains a feared finalist in both WSOP and Triton Poker Series events.
