Back home in Germany the soccer team has reached the semi-finals of Euro 2008 championships hoping to record two more wins for glory. Well, back in Las Vegas one of their countrymen has waved the flag early – Sebastian Ruthenberg, a PokerStars sponsored player, became the latest member of the team to win a bracelet, taking down the $5,000 Seven Card Hi-Lo event, beating former World Champion Chris Ferguson heads-up.
