High stakes professional poker players Brian Townsend and Viktor “Isildur1″ Blom were involved in quite a long ultra high stakes Pot-Limit Omaha battle. They began with a four-table match of $300/$600 Pot-Limit Omaha. In over two hours of action, Townsend had managed to collect over $591K in winnings. Then at the request of Blom, both players moved up to $500/$1000 blind stakes. The competition continued for over four and a half hours as Blom clawed his way back with a $539K+ win. And so in nearly seven hours of non-stop action, despite taking down eight of the 11 largest pots, Townsend would end up with just a $52K+ edge through 3,758 total heads-up hands against Blom.
