Ruthenberg Takes a Hit Early

With the board reading {5-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades} and over 15,000 in the pot, Sebastian Ruthenberg stared down his opponent for roughly a minute and a half before checking. His opponent quickly checked back.

"King high," said Ruthenberg.

His opponent tabled {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for a flopped set of fives.

"Almost made a really huge mistake," said Ruthenberg with a laugh. Unfortunately for him, he's taken a hit early as he is now sitting with around 18,500 in chips.
