Brian Townsend rocks Isildur1 for $300k

By: Sean Lind

In somewhat of a repeat of Tuesday's performance, Isildur1 was back at Full Tilt's tables last night for another lengthy high-stakes session.

Just like Tuesday night, Isildur1 played thousands of hands of poker, half Hold'em and half Omaha.

And also much like Tuesday, his opponents included Cole South, a lesser known online player known as jungleman12 and a seasoned Full Tilt Pro in Brian Townsend.

Last night's action began with Isildur1 playing $100/$200 No-Limit Hold'em heads up against jungleman12. After 3,546 hands and almost four hours, jungleman12 left the game having lost over $174k.

Almost immediately, Isildur1 took a seat across from South. In recent conversations between the two, Isildur1 had been complaining that South only ever plays him on Omaha tables.

South decided to give the unknown Swede a shot as they took seats at $200/$400 NLHE.

The session lasted 2,153 hands, with multiple $100k+ pots being played. In the end it was a small victory for Isildur1, who left with just $27k of South's money.

Attempting to capitalize on his night of run-good, Isildur1 chose to finish it off playing $200/$400 Pot-Limit Omaha heads-up against the comeback kid, Brian Townsend.

If Isildur1's performance from the previous two nights is any indication, PLO is a serious leak in his game. After having made over $200k across 5,699 hands of Hold'em, Isildur1 got quickly crushed by Townsend, losing over $317k in just 339 hands.

Just like on Tuesday, at the end of the night, Isildur1 had lost just over $115k. And once again his losses were greatly lessened by his profits on the Hold'em tables.

Below are the largest hands from Isildur1's night, or you can head to MarketPulse to see the rest.

This is why Omaha's such an action game.

Ouch!

Almost a suckout.
