UK-born Sam only narrowly missed out on a promising career in football after a devastating knee injury, but as one door closed, another opened – and what a journey he’s been on since.

Sam topped the England all-time money list for an incredible seven years, before focusing predominantly on high-stakes cash games. He famously finished runner-up to Antonio Esfandiari in 2012’s inaugural Big One for One Drop for more than $10 million.

His achievements have been recognised through two exclusive high-stakes rooms, both named “Trickett’s Room” - one at the UK’s famous Dusk Till Dawn poker club and the other online at partypoker!
