Brian Townsend Needed a Better Seed

Huck Seed

Brian Townsend's tournament came to an end after a check raise from Huck Seed put him all in on a board showing: {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

. When it was time to table the cards, Seed showed Q-10 offsuit and found himself well ahead of Townsend's {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{6-Spades}

. The

{2-Hearts}

on the turn was no help to Townsend and the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

on the river rounded out two pair for both, leaving Townsend with the short end of it.

With the win, Seed has guaranteed himself at least $25,000 in prize money and a spot in the sweet sixteen. Also of note, Huck's streak of consecutive cashes in this tournament (4) remains in tact.
