The Life of Brian

'I knew the eight was coming!'
'I knew the eight was coming!'
Brian Townsend just took a step back in the right direction. He reraised a player preflop and then led out for a 4,000 bet on a {8-Spades} {3-Hearts} {8-Clubs} flop.

The bet was called before the turn came {9-Diamonds} and Townsend check-called his opponent's all-in bet of 20,000. Townsend turned over {8-Hearts} {4-Hearts} for flopped trips and his opponent showed {A-?} {10-?} for, errr, air.

The all-in player rivered a {K-Hearts} but it was no good and he heads out the door. Townsend nearing 70,000 again.
