Life of Brian

One player who's been as quiet as a mouse in a library is online powerhouse Brian Townsend. Seated on the feature table with Vanessa Rousso, he appears to have played a very snug game thus far, his stack constantly hovering around the starting stack whenever we take a sneaking glance.
On my last venture into the battlefield, however, I caught him playing two consecutive hands, first opening from the button to 800 before taking it down on the 
flop with a standard bet against the small blind.
On the very next hand, Townsend opened to 800 again, this time from the cut-off. Paul Jackson in the big blind was the only caller leading to a 
flop where Jackson check-raised Townsend's c-bet of 1,200 to 3,000. Townsend made the call.
After both players had checked the 
turn, Jackson gave up the ghost on the 
river, folding to what appeared to be a chunky bet of 11,000 to enable Townsend to take the pot. Consequently, the man known as sbrugby is up to 36,000.
