Ridiculous Double Up For Townsend

Scott Fischman seems to have limped or raised small; either way he was met by a raise to 28,000 from Brian Townsend. Then Ivan Demidov decided to get in on the action as well, and reraised to 56,000. And then, Fischman made it around 150,000.

Townsend now dwelled up, counting out his stack -- he had not much more than the call behind -- and rubbed his face in anguish. Then he moved all in for 194,000 in total. Demidov folded, but a committed Fischman called. What monstrous hands could these two have?

Townsend: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Fischman: er... {10-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}

Board: {3-Spades} {6-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} {10-Diamonds}

Thus Fischman's move went horribly wrong and he is down to 265,000, while Townsend is up to 355,000 and is a very, very happy gentleman.
