3-barrels of pure value including Sam Trickett signing with an Indian poker company, Dusk Till Dawn and Casino Gran Madrid Join Bravo, and $300,000 buy-in Super High Roller Bowl announced.

In what must rank as one of the most unusual partnerships in recent times, Europe’s most winningest live tournament player, Sam Trickett, has signed the dotted line to become the brand ambassador of the Indian poker site Starpoker.in.

It’s a massive coup for the Indian poker market and one that has come right out of the blue. Trickett recently severed ties with Everest Poker after his one year contract came to an end. He started that relationship like a house on fire finishing runner-up in the World Poker Tour (WPT) Main Event in Venice. Starpoker.in will be hoping for a similar start.

Trickett said he was ‘excited to represent the Indian poker industry’ and was looking forward to ‘promoting poker in India.’ Lina Wang, Marketing Director of Starpoker.in, has played a few hands with Trickett, both live and online, and said that she was ‘very proud to welcome him into the Starpoker.in fold.’
