Townsend Takes Hair-Raising Hand In NL Hold’em

Over on Full Tilt table Canfield, Brian “sbrugby” Townsend, Tom “durrrr” Dwan, and Full Tilt member Gus Hansen were involved in an exciting three-way pot in a game of $200/$400 NL Hold’em. The action simply went raise, reraise, all-in, call, all-in, call and all three players quickly found themselves all-in contesting a $128K+ pot. It was Hansen’s , Dwan’s , and Townsend’s . The Aces held up and as usual, Townsend found himself raking in the monster pot.
