Biographical Information

Matthew O'Flynn is a poker player from Reston, Virginia, United States. Limited public information is available about his career, with his most documented appearances coming from the Borgata Fall Poker Open in 2012.

Tournament History

At the Borgata Fall Poker Open 2012, O'Flynn played Event 8: $350 + $50 Deepstack NL Hold'em ($100,000 Guarantee). During Level 10 (500/1k/100 ante), he made a notable play where he check-called the turn and river with a full house against an overly aggressive opponent who was bluffing with seven-high. O'Flynn's win took him to 180,000 chips, giving him the chip lead. However, he was later eliminated when his pocket jacks lost to a gutshot straight held by Robert Boyko.

Notable Hands

In the same event, O'Flynn was described as making a player sweat after checking the river with a full house. Due to wearing headphones, he did not realize his opponent had moved all-in, causing a delay until the table threatened to call the clock. O'Flynn apologized, stating he did not hear the all-in declaration.
