Our former Owl pitcher continues to compete at the highest levels but in a new venue.

Next thing you know Keith Law will be tweeting that Wayne Graham's pitchers have way too high chip counts.

Up to 4th place now:

"Wade Townsend opened for 6,500, and called Nam Le's big blind shove for 40,500 after some pondering.

Townsend: [Ad3h]
Le: [KsJs]

The board didn't improve anyone and Le left the tournament area: .
[8h5d6cTcQc]
Wade Townsend 339,000 149,000
Nam Le 0 -115,000"

No mention of fist-pumping.

nearing the money bubble. 32 left, pays 30.

Now in 2nd place after this hand:

Hiren Patel opened for 8,500 from the hijack and found some resistance in the big blind. Wade Townsend made it 31,000 to go, but that sure wasn't the end of it. Patel four-bet to 68,500 and Townsend five-bet to 135,000 after some thinking. Patel made the call and the two of them saw a flop in an already huge pot.
The first three community cards were 8C, 3C, 3H and Townsend bet out 85,000. Patel made the call without much thinking, and the dealer burned, and turned the 7S. Townsend announced all in for about 180,000. In the meantime it was the official bubble, so a lot of players gathered to check what was going on.
"You have it?" asked Patel while he tried to look Townsend in the eyes. Townsend didn't reply.
Patel eventually folded, and now Townsend did react. He gently tabled KD, 6S for a stone cold bluff and raked in the massive pot.

Like most $10K events, the field is largely tough pros. At least two former world champions still left.

Wade finished 24th.

In the end he was busted by the same player he had bluffed out earlier. I think it was because his hat was not intimidating enough:

Saved by the bell for at bats so that hat is no surprise.
