Isildur1 VS Brian Townsend Part II

December 7th, 2009

After spending the last week getting his teeth kicked in, Viktor BlomFull Tilt Poker. He booked a win of around $1.6 Million to recoup a good chunk of his loses VS Brian. Most of his winnings came against Brian Townsend. Isildur1 was taking big pots all day.

The following hand was a prime example of some of the big confrontations that went on between the two. In this hand, Townsend had $120,700 to start with and had the entire stack in on the turn. At the turn, the board read 6h-3d-7d-7c. Townsend held 9c-9h-10s-7s for trip sevens. Isildur1 held Js-8d-6d-6c for sixes full. A river Qd sent the $241,399.50 pot to Isildur1.

Townsend dropped another 124k in the following hand. On a flop of Qs-2h-As, Townsend bet $21,000 and received a call. The turn 6h prompted Townsend to bet pot, which left him about $5k behind. Isildur1 raised to put him Townsend all-in and he called. Isildur1 showed Kh-Qh-6d-2d for two pair and Townsend showed Ad-Kc-Jd-10h for top pair and broadway draw. The river fell the 9h and Isildur1 takes down a quarter of a million dollar pot.

Townsend had a flopped straight outdrawn by a flush on the river to lose a $242k pot.
The following hand, Townsend didn’t even bother to show his hand. Isildur1 made the nut flush on the turn to take a $204k pot. One can only assume that Townsend had a wheel.

Isildur1 came out winner on just about everything he touched today. He finished up $486,521.30 in the $300-$600 NL Holdem heads-up games over 2,573 hands. Over 1,462 hands, he finished up a staggering $782,559.50 in the $300-$600 PLO 6-Max. He finished up $305,324 in the $200-$400 PLO heads-up games. He also picked up $87k in the $100-$200 PLO 6 Max and $20k in the $50-$100 PLO 6-Max. His only losing session was in the $100-$200 PLO heads-up, where he dropped a mere $20,701.
After today’s action, Isildur1 is still down, but only $614,421. While that is still a far cry from the $5 Million he was up last month, it is still much better than the $1.9 Million he was down to start the day. Is this the beginning of a massive rebound for Isildur1 or is it just a momentary reprieve from his downward spiral?
