Samuel Trickett seems to really want to play his big stack and use the muscle his chips provide for him. On this hand, he raised to 25,000 from under the gun. Bryan Pope decided to reraise from the button to 70,000. It folded back over to Trickett and he thought before making another raise to 290,000.
