Partypoker Signs Sam Trickett as an Ambassador
Partypoker has pulled off a major coup by signing a deal with Sam Trickett, the No. 1 player on the United Kingdom��s all-time money list, and making him a brand ambassador.
Trickett has won more than $20.5 million from live poker tournaments since bursting onto the scene in 2007. The Nottingham based pro won a ��110 buy in tournament in May 2007 for ��3,610 and it was the catalyst for great things.
In 2008, Trickett finished fourth in a $5,000 no-limit hold��em event at the World Series of Poker for $245,927 and followed up that impressive result with a victory in the ��1,060 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Luton Main Event for ��109,050 only a couple of months later.
Two years later, Trickett went on a major heater that has shown no signs of slowing down. Since 2010, Trickett has enjoyed results such as:
- Second place in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold��em Event at the 2010 WSOP for $505,725
- Fourth place in the �5,300 EPT Vilamoura Main Event for �139,681

- Second place in the A$250,000 Super High Roller at the 2011 Aussie Millions for A$1,400,000
- First place in the �8,500 Partouche Poker Tour for �1,000,000
- Seventh place in the HK$258,000 Super High Roller in Macau for HK$7,750,000

- Second place in the $125,000 partypoker Premier League for $254,000
- Fifth place in the �50,000 Super High Roller at the 2014 EPT Barcelona for �288,400

As part of his duties as a partypoker ambassador, Trickett will represent partypoker at global events throughout 2017 and will host the soon-to-be launched ��Trickett��s Cash Games�� online at partypoker.
These cash games will be for high-stakes players, are invite-only and will give partypoker players the chance to win a seat on one of these tables, rubbing shoulders with the United Kingdom��s most successful poker player.
��I am proud to be joining the expanding partypoker team and represent the brand globally," Trickett said in a press release. "partypoker was always my first site and I am excited about the direction the company is taking, with the players and a fun feel at the forefront of their minds.
