Lynch was part of a group of professional players who were challenged to make as much money as possible within a certain time frame, with the beginning amount of $200.
While Lynch came in 6th in the challenge, his talents nevertheless caught the eye of Lock Poker and he was approached with an offer. “Being a part of the Bluff Online Poker Challenge started the relationship,” recalled Lynch. “It allowed me to see who Lock Poker was. If they just came out of the blue and started talking to me, things might have been much different. After getting a chance to work with them, pursuing a partnership made a lot of sense.”

They want to be one of the best sites out there. If you don’t set lofty goals, you’re never going to get there. Everyone I’ve spoken to is enthusiastic and knows what they’re talking about.”
A father of two, Lynch has also found time in his career to author a book entitled Winning Poker Tournaments: One Hand at a Time Volume I together with Jon Turner, Jon Van Fleet and Matthew Hilger.
