Lynskey Holding His Own

One can think of a lot easier table draws than having Dani Stern, Sam Trickett and Tobias Peters sat to your right but Alex Lynskey - who finds himself in that position- has held his own so far.

He's taken on Stern and Trickett and come out on top both times.

Stern raised to 300 from under the gun and Lynskey was the only caller from the small blind. Stern continued for 400 on the flop and Lynskey check-called before the [q]d turn and river were checked down. Stern opened and lost out to Lynskey's .

A while after, Lynskey and Trickett were at the river of an board and around 2,050 had made it into the middle. Trickett checked from under the gun to face a 900 bet from Lynskey in the cutoff. Tricket, head being massaged at the time, flicked in a call but soon mucked upon seeing his opponent's for trips.
