The Swede Erik "DIN_FRU" Sagtrom had a rough night at Full Tilt's nosebleed tables last Monday. In a $500/$1000 H.O.R.S.E. heads-up session against Brian "sbrugby" Townsend, he lost $112,000 in just 675 hands. On the other hand this session probably wont affect Sagstrom's bankroll and game all that much since he's up about $1 million this year and has been a winner for the past few years online.

For Brian Townsend, however, the win must feel good as he has lost around $4 million dollars this year. In other words, every "nickel n' dime" will help to minimize his losses for 2010 and also strengthen his self-esteem at the poker tables.

After that Erik "Erik123" Sagström got kicked out on a third place, it came to be a very long heads-up between David Bach and John Hanson. But after many hours of playing it came to be David Bach who took down the tournament. For the win he received the first prize of $1,276,802 and a gold bracelet. But that's not all, he also received the Chip Reese Trophy - something that is almost more invaluable than a bracelet.
