Townsend Makes Quick Work Of Ivey

Over on Full Tilt table Halbert, Brian “sbrugby” Townsend faced off in a heads-up $300/$600 NL Hold’em battle against Full Tilt team member Phil Ivey. I’m sure many believed another memorable match would ensue, but Townsend quickly felted Ivey in just 4 minutes of action. Ivey had lost his $60K stake in just 14 hands culminating in a final $85K+ pot.
