Sam Trickett tends to be the life of the party at the table, so it is only fitting he is the latest pro to join the team at partypoker. The Brit announced his new role as a Global Ambassador for the online poker room this week.

Trickett, who is the all-time UK money earner with over $20 million in tournament winnings, will serve as a spokesperson for the site and put in time on the felt. Part of his role will involve organizing and playing in high stakes online cash games. These cash games, called “Trickett’s Cash Games”, will be invite-only. Never fear though, railbirds, as anyone can open the software and watch all the action. Should you want to get in the game yourself, it won’t necessarily take rubbing elbows with the top poker pros to score an invitation. The site will be running promotions and contests with seats at the table on the line.

“It is testament to the recent success of partypoker that such a renowned player like Sam was eager to join the team,” says Group Head of partypoker Tom Waters. Trickett will be joining the likes of Mike Sexton and Tony Dunst on the list of affiliated pros. Part of his promotional duties will include returning to the live tournament circuit in 2017. Save for a cash in last month’s Devilfish Cup, Trickett has not recorded a live cash since March of 2015.

“I am proud to be joining the expanding partypoker team and represent the brand globally,” Trickett says. ”I am going to bring monthly high stakes games online, which my friends and partypoker players can enjoy. Over the coming weeks I will plan my live events schedule for 2017 and look forward to getting back on the tournament circuit, wearing the partypoker patch.”

Trickett has served as a sponsored pro, most recently with Everest Poker and Starpoker, who we worked with earlier this year promoting poker in India. Trickett has traveled all over Asia the past few years playing in cash games, so he is very familiar with that circuit as well as the European poker scene.

Trickett’s first appearance representing partypoker was the partypoker Millions this past week in Punta Cana, DR.
