Nottingham\u2019s Sam Trickett emerged as the triumphant winner at the inaugural partypoker.com Road to Old Trafford event held at the home of Manchester United over the past weekend. <\/p>\n

High Stakes Sam…<\/h3>\n

High stakes superstar and die hard United fan Sam walked away with \u00a310,000 from the recreational event and made a substantial donation to Rio Ferdinand\u2019s Live the Dream Foundation Charity as a result.<\/p>\n

27-year-old Sam, well known for his high stakes exploits in finishing second in the most recent partypoker.com Premier League and second for $10 million in the Big One for One Drop at the WSOP in 2012 entered the recreational \u00a3250 buy-in 169 runner event because of his passion for Manchester United. <\/p>\n

Sam\u2019s total live poker tournament winnings amount to $19,752,481, placing him second on the all-time poker money list but winning a relative smaller amount at United was clearly something dear to his heart. <\/p>\n

Trickett started playing poker in 2005 after suffering a knee injury that ended his career as a semi-professional footballer. \u201cI am really happy to win this event \u2013 I played for fun but I felt I really had to win at Old Trafford \u2013 I made it my mission!\u201d said Sam.<\/p>\n

A Very Special Surprise…<\/h3>\n

The day before the final table Sam had been presented with a special signed United shirt by Rio Ferdinand after a visit to the legendary Aon Training Complex with competition winners the morning after watching Rio\u2019s testimonial match against Sevilla at the \u2018Theatre of Dreams.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy to make a contribution to Rio\u2019s charity, it is a very worthy cause,\u201d said Sam, \u201cthis has been a great fun weekend and so much different and more relaxed than any other tournament I have played. I am totally made up for winning at Old Trafford, it has been an amazing experience..\u201d<\/p>\n

True Football + PartyPoker Legends…<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The recreational poker event was attended by football legends Bryan Robson, Dwight Yorke, Quinton Fortune and Norman Whiteside, with Darren Fletcher choosing to enter on day one. <\/p>\n

PartyPoker.com\u2019s Kara Scott and Jesse May were on hand to compere the event which offered signed merchandise and chances to win money cannot buy experiences. <\/p>\n

Kara interviewed the legends alongside the Premiership trophy, which was on display throughout the event, with freeroll sit-and-go\u2019s, stadium tours and fun and games taking place for those out of the Main Event.<\/p>\n
