Eric Lynch Signs With Lock Poker
May 29, 2009
Poker professional Eric Lynch has this week signed a contract that partners him and Lock Poker.
Lynch became a household name after claiming over $800,000 in World Series of Poker winnings in recent years, giving the site the perfect professional to attract new and existing online poker players to their site.
Fresh of the back of their Bluff Online Poker Challenge, the site is now gearing up for World Series of Poker 2009.
Having a name like Eric Lynch playing at the site is definitely bound to increase the popularity of the online poker room, giving players the opportunity to try their luck against a player who has cashed almost $1 million in World Series of Poker winnings, something that would offer ultimate bragging rights at their next night out with the guys!
Lynch was a feature in the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event, beating out over 8,700 players to lock horns with the eventual winner, Jamie Gold.
With the new World Series of Poker 2009 schedule due to begin, he was asked about his thoughts on missing out on the title 3 years ago.
I don’t really go through any “what ifs” in a negative sense. I’m happy with pretty much every play I made in the tournament minus the pocket aces call versus Erik Friberg. I’m even happy with the infamous A-6 offsuit play against Jamie Gold.
With the past firmly behind him now, Lynch outlined his intensions for this years tournament
I’m playing around 15 events, but some of it depends on how well I do since I can’t play some events if I’m in Day 2 or 3 of others. I’m not taking the entire family out for six weeks this year like the last two years, so I’m flying out for eight or nine days and then back for five or six days in three separate trips.
I’ve targeted No Limit Hold’em, Pot Limit Hold’em, and Pot Limit Omaha events of varying buy-ins ranging from $1,500 to $10,000. However, if I go deep in an early event or two and get into the WSOP Player of the Year race like I did in 2007, I’ll probably start playing a lot more events of all types.
Well with his thoughts laid down, its now over to Eric to once again make a name for himself within the World Series of Poker schedule and to try to improve on his current prize winnings.
