[user140525]

Hold'em

Scott Fischman raised from the cutoff, and on the button, Brian Townsend reraised. Matt Glantz folded the small blind, and Carlos Mortensen made it four-bets in the big blind. Fischman snap-folded, and Townsend called. The flop fell {q-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} , and Mortensen bet out. Townsend put in his last chips, giving Mortensen a few more to call. Townsend turned up {a-Spades} {3-Spades} and was going to need to improve against Mortensen's {j-Diamonds} {j-Hearts} . The {q-Hearts} on the turn didn't help, and the {5-Clubs} river was equally useless. Townsend shook hands with everyone and made his exit. At least his girlfriend, Kara Scott, was on the rail to give him a hug.
