Sam Trickett has just sat down half an hour ago, but he's already playing well above average after more than doubling up.

Trickett was in a animated conversation with Steve Watts, but was kind enough to tell us the details of his double up between laughing with his countryman.

Trickett told us he raised with aces, and a player behind him made the call. A short stacked player squeezed all in for his remaining 3,000, and another player re shoved all in for 30,000. "And I said call" Trickett laughed stating the obvious.

Trickett turned out to be up against pocket nines, and his aces helt up.
