Ruthenberg Runs Out

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Sebastian Ruthenberg, from Day 6
Sebastian Ruthenberg, from Day 6

Kenny Shih opened for 140,000 from under the gun, and Sebastian Ruthenberg reraised all in for his last 880,000 from middle position. It folded to Guillaume Darcourt in the big blind who just called the big reraise. Shih considered, then threw away his hand, noting after he did that he'd folded pocket eights.

Ruthenberg showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and Darcourt {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. It was a woulda-coulda-shoulda flop for Shih, coming {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} (although afterwards he shruggingly noted there was no way he could remain in the hand after Darcourt's call). The turn was the {2-Clubs} and river the {2-Diamonds}, and Ruthenberg is out in 55th place.

The pink-haired Darcourt is now sitting with 7.2 million.
