Robert Flink has just been eliminated in the oddest of circumstances here in the opening event of the 2019 British Poker Open. Steve O'Dwyer doubled through Flink when the former moved all-in for 85,000 with [Kd4c] and was called by Flink's [Td5d] and the board of [Kc2c8s3d9c] gave O'Dwyer a pair

Greenwood Flips O’Dwyer Close to Exit
Steve O'Dwyer raised to 110,000 with [7c7s] and a quick all-in came from overnight chip leader Luc Greenwood with [AhKd] and 830,000 chips. That all-in was called by O'Dwyer. The flop of [4cAsQh] saw Greenwood move into the lead and through the [Jd] turn and [2s] river, Greenwood take a huge
Flink Doubles Through O’Dwyer
Robert Flink moved all-in for 390,000 chips with [JcTs] and was called by Steve O'Dwyer [Ks3s]. It could have been heads-up, with O'Dwyer leading until the turn on the board of [3c4d5dTc5h], but a dramatic ten on the turn saw Flink retake the lead and hold through the river to double back
Sam Grafton Eliminated in 4th Place for £26,600
Sam Grafton moved all-in from early position with [8d8s] and ran into Flink's [AdKh], which the high stakes cash game pro re-raised all-in. Steve O'Dwyer had [ThTd] and called it off, to see two players at risk, himself and Grafton. The board of [Qh2hKcTs3d] saw Sam Grafton finish fourth place for
From Shortie to Chip Leader
Robert Flink has gone from short-stack at the start of play 90 minutes ago to leading the final table of the British Poker Open £10,000-entry NLHE opening event.
Flink Doesn’t Blink
A series of short hands eventually saw Robert Flink return from the break on the attack. First, Luc Greenwood, the chip leader at the table made it 45,000 to go on the button with [9h9c] and was able to take it down unchallenged. With 720,000 chips, Greenwood has the chip lead yet
Greenwood Leads at the First Break
Mike 'Sir Watts' Watson moved all-in for 574,000 with [Ah7s] and Robert Flink couldn't call with [2s2c], faced with choosing the flip for his tournament life on the bubble. That was the last meaningful hand as play went to the first break of the day, with LucGreenwood back on top of
Watson the Early Leader
Play started with Greenwood and Grafton well ahead of the pack, but after a topsy-turvy opening 50 minutes of action, Grafton and Greenwood have dropped back a little. Mike Watson's big win against Grafton, as well as Robert Flink's double, have evened things up considerably.
O’Dwyer Takes Two From Grafton
O Dwyer held [6d6c] Sam Grafton flicked up the corners of [QcJh] and short-stack Robert Flink had [Ts8h] with 90,000 chips in the pot before that came [9d6sQh]. O'Dwyer, having made bottom set, bet out 50,000 after Flink's check, Grafton alone called. On the turn of [Ad] O'Dwyer fired out 115,000 and got a fold from the
Grafton Reclaims Chip Lead
After joking that winning any hand at this early stage would see Grafton "reclaim" the chip lead, the Brit has definitely done that after this early clash. Steve O'Dwyer looked down at [8s8d] hijack in the hijack and bet 22,000, with Grafton, holding [JcJh], choosing to three-bet on the button to
