High Stakes: The Story Of Sam Trickett

[@sueholland1106]

owed 30k did what 99.99% of people cant do, got his head down recovered himself and what a come back. Yes he got lucky in the big drop never seen a big winner that hasnt. Well done to the fella he has what it takes. Do we remember 2003 wsop main event winner rivered an 8? went on to win. Tricket will be world champ sooner or later. He is also a great down to earth guy with fab family and friends this is a great story.

[@splashbeats_]

the look on his bosses face when he said 16 million

[@CashApp-HelpMeStayAlive]

Priceless !

[@JohnLee-me3vg]

He knew he was good with quads??? What a god...

[@briker75]

he knew he had flush because he bet it so heavy he would only get called by a flush....legend heheh

[@blindingshadow3463]

Seemed to me like the final two had an agreement before the end ever came. We are talking about two young guys vs. A billionaire for 28 million. Spoken or unspoken, they had an agreement.

[@JoeKyser]

Every tournament has teams in it.

[@travz21]

Story: Play good, get really lucky, win millions.

[@alvaroakatico9188]

travz21 You can get lucky and still lose. It’s all about reading your opponents.

[@jetshull]

The key too success is yours IF YOURE WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE............

[@packratwilly4276]

But they dont realize what price they are paying>>>

[@jetshull]

theres a price for everything, so when its time to pay the piper theres no surprises.

[@charleslee1960]

Two (2):the number after one (1)and before three(3) now look up too and to and quit driving me crazy by not knowing the difference thanks

[@MadChatter17]

"The only event in poker when u want to win it for reasons other than money" Omg these ppl have no clue what they're saying...

[@bigphatmike48059]

Sam trickett was staked for the $1m big drop a backer put up the full $1m for 50/50 split

[@bobbylight111]

This doc uses like half the Breaking Bad soundtrack

[@robertojae]

ts otheruiser..the vid c@me first then bre@king b@d rs

[@mickey1989cfc]

What a fucking legend Sam is

[@mikewoodman2872]

Cool story, but I found it difficult to watch this documentary. When a so-called "documentary" spends over half the time repeating itself and/or setting up the situation, while the other half is quick-cut after quick-cut after flashy quick-cut... I feel as if it were created for people with ADHD. In fact, I think it probably causes ADHD. :\

[@CashApp-HelpMeStayAlive]

Mike Woodman I dont care ! I love it . I love it i love it

[@hectorkeezy1499]

Mike Woodman You're absolutely right. I used ff a lot. It made it a little less, of a torture to watch.

[@francislea4700]

Mike. Yes so true. I used to laugh at American programmes because of this but we do it all the time here in UK now. TV is becoming unwatchable.

[@truecrimejungle]

LOL "in fact, I think it probably causes adhd" LOLOLOLOLOL

[@davidhay9699]

I actually do have adhd

[@chieftricky]

Met this new guy at work last week and he asked if I was related to Sam because my last name is Trickett too. lol I told him no I'm not related to Sam to my knowledge but that would be cool as hell if he was. lol I would be asking for tips on how to be a great poker player.

[@roseimmad3079]

And as soon as he walk out he got a shake down by Suge Knight who wanted half the win lol

[@ryanlally9628]

poker is pure grit, this guy prime example, one of the most challenging things a human can pull off

[@chrismace9697]

every music bit in this is from breaking bad

[@aokijannick7616]

Chris Macedonia yes, pathetic!!

[@jojoz]

only wish I could have seen Stu Unger play in that tourney whew... amazing

[@alivlogsitaly]

Gambling is devil's act

[@user-yf8il6we2z]

@Mason Wild It is man, very few make a living off of it. You can have all the game theory knowledge in the world, but it can only get you so far when you have incomplete information.

[@GGsDLo]

I never knew he was the one who came in second to the luckbox Antonio. A second prize of $10M ain’t too shabby. I mean cmon gimme a break. Dude still won w/a $9M net gain

[@cmb2934]

lend us a tenner mate

[@YakiMasala]

Who is the guy at 4:25 with the Ricky Gervais voice?

[@thealancorp.2394]

holyfuck

[@asnanasna3684]

43:38 look at Sam turning and looking at that crazy celebration from Antonius and just lifting his sholders UP then DOWN like ... mehhhh only 8 million more to him :D :D :D epic

[@socaloutdoors7355]

Complimentary 10mil....wtf

[@garygwinn4256]

Sam Trickett, is a smart, talented Hold'Em specialist. That said, he is young and has no money fear, because he has never been poor or without money in his life. He has ran well, and hasnt put alot of hours in with the top players. He has fed off amateurs, and the weak european suckers on the EPT and in Monte Carlo.

[@gk10002000]

And much of it was not his money. They get staked and that eventually runs out as their sales pitch wanes

[@aaronsoto629]

This guys a damn GOD.

[@verifiedinthestreets9023]

Poor sam had to settle for 10million please help him with a gofundme

[@mig7290]

Wish the cinematography was slower.

[@joshuabyrd9737]

Who did the music from this it's all from breaking bad

[@teethgrinder83]

My birthday is tomorrow-I suspect it's not going to be quite as interesting as his was that day haha

[@CuriousConnoisseurs]

1 Million $ buy in is not 1 Million $ Buy in. Maybe sold 90%

[@haleiwahi27]

At 21:55 is that Antonio Esfandiari sitting next to Sam Trickett? Ahhh, I see later on in the clip that it was.

[@pauluss1053]

DECENT DOCUMENTARY :) ENJOYED. SAM SEEMS LIKE A TOP BLOKE

[@tycobb9869]

43:14 dude if there's already four diamonds showing, what are the odds you'll get a diamond on the next two cards? Less than 50% that's for sure

[@aceywacey3661]

36%

[@elastronaute1198]

Tbh as good as Trickett is, all he felt was overconfidence and superstition. In a poker tournament it doesn't matter how good you are, you need so much luck, its impossible to really be confident unless you're deluded. You can't 'know' you're going to do well. He was over confident and he just happened to be lucky enough to go deep in it, but the two things are not in any way connected.

[@ianclark6485]

I work with his girlfriends uncle

[@todorpopov3230]

Do not play online poker. He did the biggest mistake. Its a completely different game.

[@fredbloggs8172]

*So how much of the $10M was his after all the people who bankrolled his game took their cut? He was probably left with $25!*

[@terrywix6844]

A fool and their money will soon be parted...

[@semmes5342]

great story

[@lucky14roulette80]

If he didn't have a five. Sam made a great bet. Jonny hart j❤️

[@bertie284]

Sorry but did anyone catch on they used the same songs that are in breaking bad aha?

[@TOLLEYBT]

Check out 5:22 for a glimpse of Walt!

[@MadChatter17]

"U aren't one of the greats until u win a bracelet." Wth?? No poker pro believes that BS.

[@Ephraim225]

Except Hellmuth. Heheheheh.

[@david3unknown]

[@hihiihihihi8408]

@juanancriadillas so u win couple ept title and bunch of other respected trophy u still cant be great? U need that bracelet to be great? What logic is that

[@bradrosser6919]

is video laggin or jus my pc

[@OriginalMindTrick]

+Brad Rosser It's lagging.

[@FatPizza56]

what is the name of the song at 13:15?

[@haleiwahi27]

Just a side note - They're called slippers, not flip flops.

[@haleiwahi27]

+mksrookies If that's your belief, then I'd suggest you don't move to Hawaii or any other pacific island and say that!

[@anneshaw9681]

All his troubles start with his eyebrows.

[@PS3Vids98]

song at 2:15?

[@cs4723]

Its called barbie girl by aqua

[@chookin1]

What a meaningless existence.

[@jakejeffery8097]

all in with flush draw you got 25% not a good play

[@OwLoLz]

Esfandiari could have folded. He also could have shown a lower flush draw, or a J, which would give the Q as an extra out. The play was good especially thinking of the chips Trickett had already put in that pot. Way more than 25 percent

[@jakejeffery8097]

I came 2nd in a tourney once cos I went all in with a flush draw I should of just waited for a better spot, the maths suggests the play is not profitable in the long run.

[@markmnorcal]

+Jake Jeffery Poker's a bitch. Enough said?

[@Hacunamattata]

Jake Jeffery i learn with time not to chase flushes

[@threepointer1087]

You have a 35% chance to hit your flush by the river if you have 4 to the flush post flop.

[@sylvester7320]

CRAZY, HE SAD BECAUSE HE ONLY WON 10 Million DOLLARS, IN SECOND PLACE, WHO YOU KIDDING.

[@DerekCastillo]

Um...anyone else notice he sucked out against Brian Rast? I wouldn't mind catching quad 3's on the river against a nut flush. Sheesh.

[@AScheeser]

+Derek Castillo That wasn't really "sucking out". He did have a decent hand with a set of 3s and he bet it on the turn (which almost everyone would do). Now Rast tried to trap Trickett by slow-playing the nut flush (which also makes a lot of sense) and flat called giving Trickett a free river card to catch up which he did. If Rast had gone all-in on the turn and Trickett had called with the worse hand to then hit the winning 3 on the river, that would have been sucking out.

[@_SjB_]

Pretty sure he did look at the river before shipping it in as he "knew" that Brian Raast had the nut flush.. lol..

[@maximus0307]

he got so lucky he should have been out, he had a 3 of a kind againts a flush, and played half his stack, then the river came he got another 3, wich gave him a 4of akind the, he had maybe a 20% chance of winning and did.,.. He should have been out right there... in 9th place... and he played his last hand like a donkey when the show makes it sound like a smart move...

[@joenaylor4158]

Don't get to where he is at through pure luck he knows what he's doing

[@91Chacarron]

joe naylor I agree with you man but did you even watch this video?... he was down to 50k from 250k and he made it...

[@shieffie]

u are 100% right

[@chrisfaulkner2321]

he could have got a full house if the board paired. its not luck. flush draws make up such a small part of players ranges. go read a poker book bitch

[@GrassLogic-fe9le]

rusty nail Flush draws are a small part of players ranges? have you ever seen a card game? hahaha Bitch!!!

[@quickplaya]

Every story of the worlds best poker players end up getting addicted to drugs and becoming broke and/or dead at early age. DO NOT GAMBLE.... period. Getting together with friends for 5 bucks is the extent to which you should indulge.

[@domais68]

I completely disagree. Most poker players end up just fine. If you enjoy gambling, go right ahead and have fun. Just don't get carried away and risk more than you can comfortably afford. Drink and philander carefully too.

[@quickplaya]

Name one poker player that hasn't gone broke at least once kiddo. Stay educated.

[@domais68]

I was responding to someone that said that gambling led to either death, drug addiction or going broke. That is simply not true. You're picking out one piece of my comment (the broke part) and not addressing the entire context of my response. It appears that you are the one who needs to stay educated, sport.

[@quickplaya]

You directly "responded" to my post. That is why it showed up on notifications. My statement still stands kiddo.

[@domais68]

***** You're not worth my time, kiddo.

[@markmnorcal]

Winning and money isn't everything, he still has that goofy accent.

[@unclemercy]

hahaha... yeah dollars

[@levelsabove7631]

Trickett might be a closet gay.

[@briananderson2452]

He's as straight as they come, and that means his hole is tight as a drum. Those are the most fun to eat.

[@williamrogers7974]

You sound like an idiot.

[@fredbloggs8172]

[@tycobb9869]

concur but Sam got $10M

[@certifiedamerican985]

[@jaysantos536]

I just cant get exzcited about any of the Brits or Euros in any gambling. They are judt boring perople
