Lynskey Winning Chips Early
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Australian online player Alex Lynskey has built a bit of a stack early in the day.
Plenty of his chips came in a recent pot that he took down on a 
board.
We picked up the action on the turn, with Jamie Lunt first to act. He checked and the next player put a single 5,000-denomination bet and said what sounds like “two thousand”. Before we could work out the amount, Lynskey had check-raised to 6,500. Lunt folded, while the other player called.
On the river, it was checked to Lynskey and he would go into the tank.
It was a scary board, with full houses, flushes, straights and straight flushes to worry about.
Eventually Lynskey checked behind and tabled 
– good enough to win the pot with a larger straight than the player who held 
.
