Lee Davy sits down with Sam Trickett to talk about his car crash, his appearance at the Global Poker Masters, Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott, and preparing for the World Series of Poker.

It’s been a tough year for Sam Trickett.

Stitches in a foot wound, and several visits to the hospital for lethargy and flu like symptoms didn’t bode well for a 2014 World Series of Poker (WSOP). Then he parted ways with his long term partner Natasha Sandhu. Add in the fact that he failed to secure a seven figure annual live tournament haul for the first time in five years, and then crashed his Ferrari; it’s time for an upswing.

I caught up with him as he began searching for that upswing at the 46th Annual WSOP. This is what he had to say.
