NAME: ERIC LYNCH

SCREENNAME: RIZEN

AGE: 28

LIVES: OLATHE, KANSAS, USA

FAVOURITE GAME: NO-LIMIT HOLD’EM

Eric ‘Rizen’ Lynch has established his place over the last few years as one of the very best online tournament players, with over 50 final tables on PokerStars alone and a Pokerstars Sunday Million win under his belt. The Kansas native is also one of the few online tournament pros with a knack for translating his skills to live events.

His breakthrough appearance came at the 2006 WSOP main event, where he finished 24th for a $495,000 payday. But the internet is still Rizen’s bread and butter, and although he’s not riding high on the leader boards in 2007 he is still a real force to be reckoned with.
