A monumental accomplishment for sbrugby.

I remember when aba was on HSP3 and some were saying he was a massive tellbox and hadn't adjusted to live poker, etc. This win by should pretty much end a lot of the silly debates about live vs online poker. All the ranting about Farha having some sort of live edge and being so great at PLO...

This match is a turning point in poker history, the online superstar took down the old-school gambler in the highest stakes match. Poker will be taken over by internet players.

Making this judgement based on one session is pretty ridiculous.

"I was very impressed with Bobby Baldwin's play. He hardly ever plays poker anymore since he manages the Bellagio but he was sitting playing 4 handed at the end of the night with me, Patrik, and Sammy. Bobby was definitely holding his own and I was extremely suprised with how well he played. Most famous poker players are not very good and overrated -- this was not the case with Bobby; he had a great sense of people. One hand I raised UTG in PLO he called on the button and Sammy called in the big blind. Flop came TT4 and we all checked turn came a 5 and it was checked through again. The river came an ace and it was checked to Bobby who said "Sammy your ten is good." Sammy then sheepishly turned over a ten."

This is one of those stories that is going to be told for many many years. So awesome. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Also, who cares who is better, sbrugby or Sammy....??? In my eyes, they're both pretty f'in cool for playing 1k/2k/4k.

One thing I think you gotta respect about Farha is that the guy is an old school GAMBLER.. Seems like he was probably a good time in his earlier years, etc..

No way.... I think Brian has now proven that he is far beyond the limited abilities of a mortal such as Patrick. He needs a worthy opponent... Someone who can perform miracles (this is the only way one could win, obv).

Coming soon to pay-per-view:

Jesus Christ vs Brian Townsend

A short 1K/2K session Just finished a two hour 1K/2K PLO/NLH mix game. It was three handed with David Benyamine and Johnny Chan. I won about 600K. I busted them on same hand when I flopped bottom set and a flush draw and was against a flush draw and wrap of Davids and a wrap of Johnny. With this win I made 2.15 million dollars in four sessions over five days.

I am really getting tired of Vegas. I was planning on leaving much sooner but then got caugh up in the big game. I don't expect the 1K/2K mix game to run for a few more weeks so I plan on spending some time in Santa Barbara.
