Online he’s known as both “Sbrugby” and “Aba20”. Townsend continues to be successful in cash games online, once reporting winning over $1.2m in one day’s grinding. He prefers online play, mainly for the convenience, but he’s been showing up at some live events of late. His live tournament earnings were only around $35,000 until he finished 15th in the main event of the World Series of Poker Europe on Oct 1. He pocketed just under $90,000 for his efforts.

Townsend plays an aggressive style that’s based on sound mathematical decisions. The money doesn’t seem to matter to him anymore, but he continues to play his best game every time he sits down. He even got a shot at a High Stakes Poker appearance last season, where he lost $100,000 over three episodes.

Townsend also got a lot of press when he admitted to cheating online when he was younger. It was discovered that he had multiple user accounts, and he was suspended from play for six months and later offered a public apology for his actions. All of that seems to have faded away, now that he’s established himself as a world-class player who’s comfortable at any table anywhere.

If you don’t know who Brian Townsend is, you will soon enough. He’s only 26, and unless he gives up on playing live poker, you’ll see him on your television for decades to come.
