2008 WSOP Diary, June 20: Sebastian Ruthenberg Beats Ferguson to Win Bracelet

Last year at the World Series of Poker there was a youth movement like the sport has never seen. Twice during the WSOP the record for the "youngest person to ever win a bracelet" was broken. This year the pendulum has swung back in the direction of the established professionals. New United States regulations on internet gaming seem to be a factor in the resurgence of the more "seasoned" players. In 2007 you couldn't swing a dead chicken in the poker room of the Rio without hitting a poker pro who was too young to shave. That has been lacking at the WSOP this year.
