Sam Trickett has finished second in Event 17 at the 2010 WSOP for $505,000 behind WInner HasonDeWitt. Paul Foltyn also finished 8th to continue the fantastic WSOP so far for the British players. Well done to both.
In the final hand
Jason DeWitt moved all in from the button in his first real preflop attack on the stack of his opponent. Sam Trickett looked down at his hole cards and made a quick call!
DeWitt: 
Trickett: 
DeWitt got caught but had live cards for a shot at the title.
The flop fell 
and DeWitt spiked a pair to take the lead as Trickett flopped a straight draw for the sweat. The turn 
changed nothing and Trickett was left needing an ace, nine or four to stay alive. It wasn't to be as the 
landed on the river and Jason DeWitt is our champion!
A bitterly disappointed Sam Trickett is consoled by his friends and family on the rail, but he'll wake up tomorrow morning with 505,725 reasons to smile.
Huge congratulations are extended to Jason DeWitt who has emerged victorious in one of the toughest big-field events we've seen at the WSOP for quite some time. Not only that, but they played an extremely aggressive, fearless brand of poker for the entire three day stretch.
It's a credit to young Jason DeWitt that he not only withstood everything that was thrown at him, but he thrived on it. He was the chip leader entering today's play and when it was all said and done, he was the last man standing.
DeWitt certainly had some cards, and as he said to Sam Trickett following their contest, "You ran really bad...I had it every time!" However he also had a few things go against him, with a couple of lost races against short stacks during the evening, and was able to maintain his composure and recover.
At times the final table was thrilling with excitement, but in the end it was the disciplined, composed approach of DeWitt that emerged triumphant with shiny new gold bracelet and $818,959 in prize money.
