Default ABA20 High Stakes

Just reading cardplayer. Wondering how it went. Seems he did well from what I can gather

http://www.cardplayer.com/poker_news/article/3320



The last new face on the amateur team is 25-year-old Brian Townsend, an online player better known as SBRugby or ABA20. Townsend is a regular at the 25-50 to 200-400 no-limit hold’em tables, but also enjoys an occasional game of 100-200 or 300-600 limit hold’em. This virtual poker pro has made a comfortable living over the years and recently applied his online experience to the $10,000 Harrah’s New Orleans championship event, placing 10th. “This has been a great experience,” said Townsend about his day on the set of High Stakes Poker. “I’m really happy with how things went.”

Yeah Gold is a professional, Aba is a amateur. Cardplayer sucks.

When defining an Amature I think they mean by TV or Fame standards. Clearly the other 400-800 NY kid is a baller as well.
