Sebastian Ruthenberg adds another achievement after winning a 2008 World Series of Poker Bracelet

Yes, this guy is definitely having one heckuva' year.

When PokerStars' EPT Barcelona ended, one thing was certain, professional poker player Sebastian Ruthenberg is having a great poker year. He won a 2008 World Series of Poker bracelet already and he now has an EPT trophy to go with it. Aside from bragging rights, the young German also takes home €1,361,000 in prize money. Not bad eh?

Sebastian Ruthenberg started the final table just shy of the chip lead (1,204,000) coming in second after Martin Nielsen (1,229,000). But anything can happen in poker and true enough, it was Nielsen who ended up being eliminated first when Jason Mercier flipped open a better two pair. Samuel Chartier followed Nielsen to the exits just moments later in seventh place after he was eliminated by Fintan Gavin.

EPT San Remo champion Jason Mercier ran out of luck when he pushed with a pair of sevens against Fintan Gavin's pocket queens.

The board didn't help and Mercier was eliminated in sixth place. Gavin continued his winning streak by taking out Dren Ukella who failed to make his nut flush draw. Urkella had to be content with a fifth place finish.

Daniele Mazzia's two pair was no match to Sebastian Ruthenberg's straight after Ruthenberg and Davidi Kitai both called his all-in and checked down the board. Mazzia's fourth place finish earned him €351,000.

Ruthenberg then took Davidi Kitai out when his pocket fours held up against A,Q of diamonds. Kitai won €455,000 for third place.

When the dust cleared, it was Ruthenberg against Gavin in heads up. Unfortunately for Gavin, his time in the spotlight was short as Ruthenberg used a nearly 5:1 chip advantage to win his first EPT title in just three hands.

Gavin settled for a second place finish and €792,000.
