Trickett or Treat

Sam Trickett raised to 1,600 from early position before an opponent, two seats along, reraised all in for 10,750. It was folded back to Trickett, who snap-called with {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} and he had his opponent in big trouble holding {10-Spades} {8-Clubs}.

The board ran {3-Spades} {10-Clubs} {J-Spades} {2-Spades} {8-Hearts}.

The first piece of bad news came for Trickett on the flop, and the second piece came on the river. Aces cracked sending the on-form Trickett back down to 6,300.
