Sam Trickett

Sam Trickett,an ex plumber, who finished 2nd in he 'One Drop' event and picked up $10 million, was beaten up after leaving the Rio whlie with a friend. He wrote on  twitter
'Was having a great day until 6 guys did this to me.Seriously Wtf? Couldn't be more angry... #cowards http://pic.twitter.com/vZD79ad5  'Is this what happens when ur successful? They litterly beat the shit out of me'. He also said they spat in his friend, Natasha Sandhu's face. 

One lame duck on Twitter said he 'deserved' what he got for 'disrespecting' Phil Hellmuth during the mega bucks game and called him an 'arrogant twat'. Which is kind of like saying all athletes deserve a good kicking for winding up their opponents. I've watched Sam play a lot and read countless interviews by him. He always comes across as nothing but professional and down to earth. Remember this is a guy who was a plumber, he had aspirations of becoming a professional footballer but a knee injury put paid to that, and started playing home games for a pittance like the rest of us.  He is now living the dream and 6 yobbos attack him for it. Anyway Phil Hellmuth is a big man, ( he's over 6ft) has been in the game for years and has completely disrespected almost everyone he has ever played with. That's his style and good luck to him for it.

Winning that kind of money brings all sorts with it. He probably needs to hire a couple of heavies in future to protect him, or have a chat with Sensi Channing who might show him a few moves.
