EPT Dortmund: We are Heads Up

Sebastian Ruthenberg has suffered the inevitable exit. He pushed with A-3 for his last 236,000. He was called by Christiano Blanco and, not surprisingly Andreas Hoivold. The flop came 5-7-5 and was checked, the turn a 6, inducing a 200,000 bet from Hoivold. He had the trip nines and did not want Blanco catching a straight on the river. He folded, leaving Ruthenberg to show his A-3 - the river was an 8 and Ruthenberg leaves with €220,000.
