Sport = Joy = Success for Trickett

A couple of days ago, Sam Trickett couldn't win a hand for love nor money. He represented Team UK in the Global Poker Masters and luck just wasn't on his side, losing every all in on his way to a team defeat.
Trickett is a big sports fan and a massive Man Utd supporter. Utd had a very important game on sunday that they managed to win and Trickett was very emotionally invested in the game. We'll let you make up your mind whether the result went the way Trickett would've hoped:
What a day !! Absolutely spoilt ,amazing games,amazing players & amazing results !!! #LoveTheGame #footballFollow @Samtrickett1
It's amazing sometimes the way a sports result can affect one's psyche. From yesterday afternoon, through to the near-climax of today, Trickett seems like a changed man. Before, when things weren't going right at the table, the Brit was fairly quiet and fidgety, getting out of his seat a lot. The last two days though, he's carried himself well, had a smile on his face and has led the conversations at the tables he's been at.
All that seems to have had a positive impact on his game as his stack has steadily grown to the point where he'll likely enter Day 3 with a top-ten stack. Last count he had 345,000. Trickett is one of the most dangerous players in the world when he's focused and he seems right in the zone at the moment.
