Trickett tweeted a couple of weeks back that he would wear a Matchbook patch during the $1 million buy in Big Drop for One Drop charity tournament.
Now, nine other players have been added to the roster including U.S. online specialist Dan “Jungleman” Cates, two-time bracelet winner and yesterday’s final tablist JP Kelly, European Poker Tour winner Roberto Romanello, bracelet winner Matt Perrins, WSOP final tablist James Akenhead, last year’s final table bubble boy John Hewitt as well as up and coming stars Martins Adeniya, Ben Vinson and Jared Solomon.
Poker fans can follow the progress of Matchbooks Team Pro’s from tomorrow at Matchbookmedia.com and can bet on the WSOP at Matchbook.com/poker including a variety of last longer bets on the $1 million Big Drop for One Drop event.
