Sam Trickett – Over 18.933.345$
After a knee injury that ended his football career, Sam started playing poker in Sheffield and by the year 2008 he managed to win Grosvenor UK Poker Tour.
Despite he is a bit young, only 28 years old, he earned the nickname “Tricky” because at this age you don’t have the necessary experience to win, you need also a good game plan.
With nine first place finishes, he made from poker around 18.9 million dollars in earnings since his debut in 2003 in the Sheffield poker events.
He has only one thing that he regrets, and that is his knee injury, football remaining his first love.
Meantime poker came and made him one of the richest poker players of the world before the age on 30.
