A Tale of Three Rivers; Trickett is Gone

Sam Trickett will be having river nightmares tonight
Sam Trickett will be having river nightmares tonight

Earlier we brought you news that Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier had hit his flush, on the river, to take 100,000 out of the Trickett stack. Then we heard that Trickett and Phil Ivey decided to get it all-in pre flop in a 500,000 pot. Tricket was holding {10-} {10-} and Ivey held {A-} {K-}. You've guessed it! A king on the river reducing Trickett to chip dust.

With Trickett on death's doorstep Patrik Antonius raised to 12,000, Trickett moved all-in for 19,000 and Antonius called.

Trickett{6-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}
Antonius{10-Clubs} {8-Clubs}

Board: {J-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {4-Spades} {K-Clubs}

Trickett was now up to 40,000 and they all went in during the next hand against Sorel Mizzi.

Mizzi{J-Hearts} {9-Clubs}
Trickett{A-Spades} {6-Spades}

Board: {5-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {9-Spades}

A third terrible river card for Sam Trickett and he was sent to the rail.
