Event 33 - It's Over!
1 year ago
After a veritable epic of a heads-up contest, we finally have our Stud Hi-Lo World Champion and it's not Chris Ferguson.
No bracelet for Jesus; instead a new star is crowned, young German Sebastian Ruthenberg, who bested his more experienced opponent in a grueling heads-up encounter.
Ruthenberg will take home the $328,756 first-place prize and the bracelet after making two pair against Jesus' pair of aces in the final hand.
Ferguson grabs $202,406 for second. He headed over to play in the Omaha Split Championship, where he still has a few chips.
You can read our exclusive interview with Ruthenberg over here a little later but for now, that's all folks!

Event 33 - Final Table - The Long Kiss Goodnight
1 year ago
And still the two warriors continue to battle on.
They are like two boxers going into round 10, both showing just a few signs of wear, but not yielding to their foe yet.
Ferguson was on the ropes and was taking some heavy shots earlier but then right out of nowhere, BAM he hits Ruthenberg with an jaw-crushin uppercut to even things out a little.
Since then Ferguson has been jabbing away, bobbing and weaving and keeping his guard up, throwing out the odd crippling punch to the kidneys when Ruthenberg least expects it.
Ruthenberg has a tasty right cross though and will be looking to land this on the later streets. Where Ferguson picks up more of the small pots, Ruthenberg appears to be getting the better of him in the big pots.
Both men are battered and weary and at times they are just holding on to each other, but a regular supply of liquid refreshment is keeping them hydrated, and whenever either fighter takes down a big pot, a raucous uproar is heard from the crowd that raises their spirits and gives them the energy to throw one more devastating punch to the head.
It's going to the wire, but only one man can emerge victorious.
Who will that be?
Will it be soon?
Will they shout "ADRIAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!" as they win?
Stay tuned to find out!
