Trickett Takes World Poker Open Title

Coming off a final table appearance at EPT Vilamoura less than two weeks ago, Trickett breezed through his opening round heat at the Palm Beach Casino, Mayfair and outplayed a tough final table to bank the event’s $200,000 first-place prize.


Fellow Brit Toby Lewis fell third while Trickett was forced to tangle with Yevgeniy Timoshenko heads up for the title, only pushing past him when he rivered two pair against the Ukrainian-American’s top pair.


Trickett now appears to be one of the hottest players in the UK heading into next week’s World Series of Poker Europe in the British Capital.


He had six cashes at the 2010 WSOP for almost $700k, including one-final table and a seventh place finish in the $25k Six-Max event.


Here’s how the PartyPoker World Poker Open VI final finished up:


1 Sam Trickett - $200,000


2 Yevgeniy Timoshenko - $110,000


3 Toby Lewis - $75,000


4 Juha Helppi -$35,000


5 John Duthie - $25,000


6 Andrew Robl -$20,000


7 Dale Hoy - $15,000
