World Series Of Poker 2008 Schedule EVENT #33 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 02:23:02
Congratulations to
Sebastian Ruthenberg,
Event #33 Champion! (
$328,756) We began this event on Tuesday with a field of 261 runners. It took a whopping 29 levels of play over the course of three very long days to find our champion.
Sebastian Ruthenberg bested the entire field, which was absolutely laced with pros, to take home the title.
The real highlight of the tournament was his hard-fought one-on-one battle with
Chris Ferguson. When heads-up play began,
Jesus had roughly a 2-to-1 chip lead. Ruthenberg came all the way back to take a slight edge, before being crippled all the way back down to 200,000.
He hung in there though, and came storming back against the much more accomplished pro. After more than three hours of head-to-head dueling, Ruthenberg managed to come out on top. For his good work over the past days, Ruthenberg will take home $328,756, a shiny new gold bracelet, and the title of Stud Hi-Lo World Champion.
Congratulations to Sebastian Ruthenberg, winner of Event #33!
