Sebastian Ruthenberg is one of Germany's hottest players at the moment. Last year he won the $5,000 Stud-8 event here and followed it up with an EPT win in Barcelona.

Forrest bet 2,000 and Ruthenberg called. Forrest stood pat and Ruthenberg drew one card. Forrest checked and Ruthenberg bet 2,000. The five-time bracelet winner made the call and Ruthenberg showed a number two,
.Ruthenberg has 41,000. Forrest is on 20,000 but on this table it looks as though Jimmy 'Gobboboy' Fricke is the chip leader, he has 86,000.
