Poker commentator Jesse May was there to witness the next instalment in the rise and rise of Trickett. “ Right now, Sam is the scariest poker player out there. There is nobody in the world whose heart doesn’t jump when he sits down.”

Taking place on Monday 14th February 2011 at 20:45 GMT, the Freeroll structure is 2000 starting chips and 10 minute level blinds.  The best part? Instead of shelling out for expensive presents, players can win some cool prizes from an Apple iPad and 300 piece chip sets to a box of chocolates and some D&G perfume.

As well as the title and prize money, the tuxedo wearing Isaia also secured a $25,500 seat for the WPT World Championship at Bellagio and a Tiffany bracelet. Isaia, who hails from Cuneo in Piedmont said: “I’m very happy. I’ve been trying to win a big tournament for three or four years. I came close in the EPT but  I never achieved it. I’m even more happy to win it in Italy, my home country, it is really special. I’m very very tired. We played for eight hours heads-up, which was exhausting. Mayer was a very good opponent. The money will enable me to play other tournaments, but I’m more happy with the title and the bracelet.”

The heads-up battle was eight hours, the longest in WPT history, as Isaia battled it out with Hungarian Szabolcs Mayer who took home €228,990. The chip lead switched dramatically a number of times. In the end Mayer was unable to become the second Hungarian to win a WPT title – narrowly failing to join his fellow countryman Andreas Koroknai, who won the WPT LA Poker Classic last year.

“I felt so good today and really good about my game all week,” said Homann, who bought in directly but is a regular player at presenting sponsor Chilipoker. “I am a recreational player and this is by far my biggest win, I intend to put the money towards a new house and maybe a nice holiday with my girlfriend. I definitely intend to play more live tournaments now and am thrilled to have got entry into the $25k WPT World Championship – this takes everything to a whole new level.  I will have to play more to prepare for the standard of opposition I am going to get there.”

Cescut, a pro from Paris for Team Barriere was pragmatic: “It always looked like it was going to be Sebastian’s day but my time will come again.  I am very much looking forward to the WPT National Series event at the Aviation Club in Paris in February – it’s my home turf.”

It is great that Sebastian is one of our regular players at Chilipoker – it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Normally people expect French dominance at poker events in Marrakech but players from all over the world made quite an impact throughout our festival.”

Matt Savage, WPT Executive Tour Director and event Tournament Director said: “Marrakech is a great place to play poker; known for lively cash games and as one of the most exotic destinations on the world circuit. We saw a competitive field of some of Europe’s finest players. Even with the chip lead, Sebastian had his work cut out for him to stay on top.  It was a well-earned victory. ”

French stars Nicolas Levi and Roger Hairabedian ran deep in the money but among those to fail to make the money included David Benyamine, WPT record holder Carlos Mortensen, Bertrand ‘Elky’ Grospellier, Alexandre Gomes, Surinder Sunar, Tristan Clemencon, Antione Saout,  Guillaume Darcourt and Jean Paul Pasqualini.

After qualifying online, the plasterer from Ardee, Louth took down the nine-handed live, single table tournament final table held in Galway, Ireland on Saturday winning a $10,000 sponsorship package to join the ranks of Marty Smyth, Nicky Power, and John O’Shea as Boylepoker.com pros.

In a dramatic conclusion to Be Our Sponsored Pro, Campbell beat Danny Guiney heads up despite Guiney arriving late while his 8,000 starting stack was being blinded away – he missed a flight from Waterford and only made the event after play was underway when fellow Waterford resident and Boylepoker.com pro Nicky Power drove him to Galway.

Play started at 50/100 and each player - Kevin Douglas, Richard Barnes, Cal McCarthy, Peter Higgins, Paul Corrway, Pat Halpin, Ross Walsh, Guiney and Campbell - started with an 8,000 chip stack.

Guiney and Campbell got heads up with 31,900 and 40,900 chips respectively and the blinds at 1,000/2,000 but the deciding hand came after only twenty minutes when Guiney moved all in with 10h 9s before getting called by Campbell who held Kh10s.

The flop thrust Guiney into the lead when it fell 9h 8s 5c. The Qd fell on the turn to keep him there but a Ks on the river vaulted Campbell – who has been playing poker for less than four years with his previous biggest cash being €1,000 - to his $10,000 Be Our Sponsored Pro payday.

Guiney received a Boylepoker.com Western Open ticket worth €340 for his valiant efforts to reach Galway
