Trickett Cannot Get A Break

[user76023]

If Sam Trickett doesn't win today, it won't be for the lack of trying but mostly for an unbelievable amount of bad luck.

A couple of hands before, Martin Jacobson had opened to 85,000 but folded when Trickett 3-bet to 200,000.

Jacobson then opened to 85,000 again and Trickett 3-bet to 200,000 once again. This time Jacobson shoved for around 1.2 million and Trickett immediately called.

Jacobson: {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}
Trickett: {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

Trickett looked across to us hopefully and said, "I've got win one sooner or later..."

The flop came down {6-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} and already a fatalistic grin had formed on the British player's face. The {A-Diamonds} turn ended the hand as Jacobson had escaped from a precarious position and after an incidental {5-Hearts} river, the Swede doubled up to about 2.4 million. Trickett has roughly the same.
