Sam Trickett Does the Trick

We missed the preliminary action, but found Sam Trickett dragging a pot his way after a preflop all-in. Trickett held {9-}{9-} and was in good shape against the {7-}{7-} of his opponent.

A {9-} arrived with the flop and Trickett's set was by far the best hand. After a brick on the turn, the dealer rubbed a bit of salt in the eliminated player's wound by dropping a {7-} on the river. The meaningless set was second best and Trickett climbed to 41,000 with the win.
