Ruthenberg came from behind and got a slight edge, only later to get crippled back to 200,000 chips, and STILL managing to climb back out of the hole one more time to finally take it down. congratulations to him! Other notables who finished near the top were Marcel Luske in 4th, followed in 5th by Annie Duke!
