RUTHENBERG IS BARCELONA OPEN KING
26 September 2008
Young German pro takes the EPT title and Euro 1
361 000 main prize
Starting out with 619 other hopefuls in the Euro 8 000
entry PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona Open,
German player Sebastian Ruthenburg won the big one this
week, taking home the prestige and the Euro 1 361 000
main prize after a spirited heads up with Irish player
Fintan Gavin (40). For Ruthenburg it was a nice addition
to his gold WSOP bracelet won in Las Vegas earlier this
year.
The final eight players represented both European and
North American nations and play was initially slow and
somewhat cautious, taking almost 3 and half hours of
play before the first elimination.
In the heads up, Ruthenburg faced Irish player Fintan
Gavin with an almost five-to-one advantage in chips, and
it was all over by the third hand; Gavin collected a
generous paycheck of Euro 792 000 - a good return on
investment for the player, who had qualified for the EPT
in an online satellite tournament.
