Bad Day At The Office: Sam Trickett Eliminated in 4th Place (€139,680)
Sam Trickett will probably want to look back on this as a day he'd rather forget. Toby Lewis had opened preflop to 110,000 before Martin Jacobson 3-bet to 265,000, it passed to Trickett in the big blind who tanked for two minutes before moving all-in for 1,370,000.
Lewis folded quickly but Jacobson was much more reluctant to give it up and you got the feeling that he wanted to call almost against his own better judgement. Finally he slid in the chips.
Trickett, "You got sixes or something?" Jacobson shook his head turning over while Trickett turned over .
"I've got them, it's a lock!" said Trickett sounding fatalistic, while the cry of "Deuuuuuccceeee!" came from the rail.
The flop brought other ideas though coming and already Trickett was drawing thin. The crossbar was hit on the turn but the river was the and Trickett was out.
Trickett was involved in seven all-in showdowns today, he was ahead in all but one (JJ vs QQ) - he lost all but one of them.
