Robert Danks

Robert Danks has been seen participating in several major UK poker tournaments in 2025. He played in the online poker London Main Event, where he was noted for winning a key hand against an opponent holding A♣J♠ while Danks held K♣Q♠, hitting top pair on the flop to take the pot and build his stack to 215,000 chips. The event had a £138,840 prize pool with 150 entries.

Danks also took part in the UK Poker Championships at Dusk Till Dawn, specifically the £560 Main Event (Day 1A), which had a £500,000 guarantee. With 145 entries, he advanced from the first flight but did not reach the money, as only 26 players survived Day 1A and the tournament continued into later days.

In the online poker London Main Event, Danks was in the big blind when a player jammed from the small blind for around 64,000. Danks called with K♣Q♠, facing A♣J♠. The flop came Q♣4♠3♥, giving Danks top pair, and the turn and river (6♦6♥) did not help his opponent. This victory put Danks at 215,000 chips, well above the starting stack, demonstrating his willingness to gamble in high-pressure spots.

From available hand histories, Danks appears to play a solid, aggressive style. He is not afraid to call off his stack with a strong drawing hand like K♣Q♠, showing confidence in his reads and post-flop play. His participation in both the online poker Tour and the UKPC suggests he is comfortable in medium-to-high buy-in tournaments with substantial prize pools.
