Brian Townsend Eliminated in 10th Place ($48,638)

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 , and Mortensen bet out. Townsend put in his last chips, giving Mortensen a few more to call. Townsend turned up
and was going to need to improve against Mortensen's
. The
on the turn didn't help, and the
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.
They're now redrawing to one nine-handed table.
