Sam Trickett from Titan Poker Wins €1 Million Partouche Poker Championship
Sam Trickett has emerged as the champion of the Partouche Poker Tour Main Event and has collected a grand prize of €1 million or $1,365,680. This makes the Titan Poker sponsored pro’s live poker tournament winnings a total of around $6.5 million, which puts him in the top position with Dave Ulliott and Roland de Wolfe following close behind. While Ulliott’s total live poker tournament winnings equal $6,005,899, Roland de Wolfe’s total winnings are $5,330,556.
Trickett, aged 25, hails from Notthinghamshire and made his first cash at a live poker tournament recently in 2007, but he has achieved tremendous poker success ever since. In 2008, he collected a grand prize of $497,472; in 2009, he earned $94,894; and in 2010, he won a prize of $1,071,356. His total winnings so far this year are $4,694,580.
In fact, Trickett had started working for his €1 million in September when he was one of the 570 players who entered the Main Event at the Casino Palm Beach held in Cannes in France. It had a buy-in of €8,500. The tournament, which was stopped when there were nine players left standing, re-commenced in November. Trickett was definitely in the lead and ended up as one of the four players left standing. Eventually, he got into a heads-up against US poker pro Salman Behbehani, who finished second winning a cool prize of €600,000 while Trickett finished first and won the top prize of €1,000,000.
The winners and the payouts are as follows: Samuel Trickett finished first and won €1,000,000, Salman Behbehani finished second and won €600,000, Oleksil Kovalchuk finished third and won €379,760, Ilan Boujenah finished fourth and won €300,000, Roger Hairabedian finished fifth and won €230,000, Alexander Dovzhenko finished sixth and won €190,000, Mustapha Kanit finished seventh and won €160,000, Alexandre Coussy finished eighth and won €130,000, and Mads Wissing finished ninth and won €100,000
