The car that British poker pro Sam Trickett bought with his 2012 Big One for One Drop winnings is not looking good this week, as Trickett ended up crashing it and posting the photo to his social media accounts.

The Ferrari F458, which reportedly cost £275,000, was damaged significantly, but fortunately Trickett walked away from the crash OK. He didn’t indicate that he had any injuries.

Despite the hefty price tag, Trickett should be able to replace the vehicle. He has $20,519,128 in lifetime tournament earnings, to go along with untold millions in winnings from high-stakes cash games in Macau and elsewhere. Trickett is sixth on the all-time tournament money list.

Trickett routinely plays in tournaments in which the buy-in is around the price of a Ferrari F458. Trickett scored for around $660,000 in tournaments last year, but has yet to record a tournament result so far in 2015. Unlike previous years, he didn’t have an Aussie Millions result.
