Ruthenberg Five-Bets

No-Limit Hold'em

Winner of the $5,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low World Championship back in 2008, Sebastian Ruthenberg, reraised David Oppenheim's opening raise to 4,600 from the small blind. Oppenheim placed third in this event last year and came back with a reraise to 11,400. Ruthenberg then five-bet to 31,800 and Oppenheim went into the tank. Eventually he gave it up and Ruthenberg won the pot.
