Player Profile: Brian Townsend
February 8th, 2009
Few online poker players have received more press than Brian Townsend. The 26-year-old online shark starting playing poker in 2005, at the lowest stakes the site would offer. Over the period of a year he built a bankroll big enough to switch to no-limit hold’em. A year later he was playing in $200/$400 no-limit hold’em and pot-limit Omaha games and winning them, as he continues to do. Over the last two years he’s started playing high-profile live poker tournaments to earn more from sponsorship and to make a name for himself outside of the online poker world.
