Townsend Toppled, Loses $400K In PLO

There were $200/$400 PL Omaha games running amuck over on Full Tilt with all six different tables going at one point or another with up to four running simultaneously. Despite all the high stakes action going on, high stakes professional Brian “sbrugby” Townsend just could not get things started as he suffered an unusual $400K+ loss at the tables. The main benefactors from his donations were David Benyamine ($185K+) and “WaterIntoWin” ($150K+). Other notables in action included “ZRC” ($89K+), Gus Hanen ($66K+), and Phil Ivey (-$48K).
