Ruthenberg: Already EPT Veteran

Sebastian Ruthenberg has had a pretty good 12 months, and a bunch of EPT cashes including a win at EPT Barcelona in '08. He also has a bracelet. What he doesn't have today is overpair holding power:

When a short stack shoved under the gun for 13,300, it folded round to cutoff Ruthenberg who made the call. The others got out of the way and the utg guy tapped the table when he saw Ruthenberg's {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

.

Aside - Can there be any more relieving feeling in tournament poker than turning your all-in hand over first and someone tapping the table?

UTG had {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

.

Flop: {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

{2-Spades}

...set instantly for the smaller pair... Turn and river {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

.

Expressionlessly Ruthenberg counted out the double up and left himself with 38k.
