Ruthenberg Takes on the Knight

Chad Holloway

Action folded to PokerStars Team Pro Sebastian Ruthenberg, who won this very event back in Season 5, in middle position and he raised to 1,800. The rest of the field folded around to Marcel Van Der Walle in the big blind, and he opted to push back with a three-bet to 4,300.

Ruthenberg splashed in a call and it was off to the {9-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {6-Spades} flop. Van Der Walle, who had a knight chess piece as a card protector, wasted little time in firing out 6,600, Ruthenberg called, and the {K-Hearts} turn. Van Der Walle bet again, this time 16,600, and it proved enough as Ruthenberg released his hand.

Van Der Walle then showed {4-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} , and Ruthenberg simply rapped the table.

Player	Chips	Progress
Marcel Van Der Walle	95,000
Sebastian Ruthenberg	86,000	-9,700

Luber Doubles Through Cebada

Chad Holloway

Alexander Luber opened for 4,400 from middle position only to have Osvaldo Cebada three-bet to 11,600. Luber responded by moving all in for 21,500, and Cebada made a quick call.

Showdown

Luber
Cebada

It was a great spot for Luber as he had Cebada crushed. The board would run out an uneventful {7-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {7-Spades} , and Luber became the recipient of an early double.

Mercier and Paur Gone

Chad Holloway

A short-stacked Jason Mercier moved all in for his last 7,000 with {A-} {9-} and watched another player three-bet to 24,000 behind with {10-} {10-} . The big blind also called with {A-} {K-} . Mercier was in a bad way and wouldn't find any help as the board ran out {A-} {4-} {3-} {J-} {6-} .
