British pro Sam Trickett soared into the lead at EPT Vilamoura when he won a massive pot to knock out Italian Marco Leonzio. That made him the first player to over the 2,000,000 chip mark. Trickett has been playing poker, both live and online, for around six years. This is his third EPT, but first cash (he has played the last two EPT London events). His best live result to date was runner-up to Jason DeWitt in the WSOP $5,000 NLHE event this summer for over $500k but he has had several other big scores including fourth place in the 2008 WSOP $5k NLHE event and winning the Luton GUKPT in 2008.
