Sebastian Ruthenberg = New Chip Leader

Despite already being chip leader going into this hand, Sebastian Ruthenberg put an exclamation point on it.

Action folded around to the cutoff seat and he raised to 1,700. Ruthenberg called from the button and action was heads up.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}

and both men checked. The {7-Spades}

hit the turn and after a check from the cutoff, Ruthenberg tossed out a bet of 3,000. He was called and the {J-Spades}

hit the river. The cutoff checked again and Ruthenberg slid 5,500 across the line. His opponent contemplated for a bit, seemingly genuinely unsure, but eventually made the call. Ruthenberg tabled {9-Hearts}
