Ruthenberg Runs it Down

Sebastian Ruthenberg opened to 11,000 from early position only to see Claus Uhrskov three-bet to 26,000 on the button. Ruthenberg called the extra to see a flop, and he checked in the dark as the dealer spread out {2-Spades} {K-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}. Uhrskov took his time thinking it over before checking it back.

Fourth street brought the {2-Hearts} to pair the board. Reaching for chips now, Ruthenberg slid out a bet of 28,000. Uhrskov, acting very deliberately, cut the chips out of his stack and stared at them for another minute before making the call.

The last card off was the {4-Hearts}, and Ruthenberg fired again, 48,000 this time. The bet represented about one third of Uhrskov's remining chips, and he would take another couple minutes to consider before reluctantly making the call.

Ruthenberg tabled {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} for the flush, and his opponent flung his cards into the muck with a frustrated scowl all over his face. Ruthenberg is up to about 375,000 after that nice pot.
