Twenty-six-year-old Trickett, England’s all-time poker tournament money earner and recent runner up in the $1 million buy in One Drop poker tournament, said, “As a poker player, I have to be associated with such an enormous event. Being part of this tournament means being part of the history of poker.
The ISPT takes place at Wembley Stadium, London, England from May 31 to June 6, 2013.
It is a €600 buy in rebuy event with an approximate prize pool of €20 million. Players will initially play online with their laptops until around 3,000 are left. The tournament will then be played out live.
