Brian Townsend Loses $1 Million Playing Live
Brian Townsend posted in his blog today that he had his worst day of poker ever yesterday. Townsend said he was playing live at the $1K/$2K table. After playing for 24 hours straight, Townsend says he lost $1.02 Million.
He posted one of the hands where he lost over 1.2 Million against David Benyamine:
“I opened from the cutoff in the NLH rotation with the Ad 8h and was cold called by David Benyamine who was on the button, both blinds folded and we took the flop HU. We both had plenty of money in front of us. The flop was Kd 8d 9d and I checked. David bet ~20K into a 20K pot and I check raised 60K more. He called and the turn brought the 6s. I lead for 135K and he called again. River brought the Qh and I fired for 400K and he almost instantly called me with AK with no diamonds. I really have to give David credit for the call. He put me on the exact hand I had and went with his read.”
