The 2011 European Poker Awards were handed out on Wednesday, with Sam Trickett taking down the player of the year award from a stacked field of nominees.
England’s Trickett had a huge year, highlighted by his win in the Partouche Poker Tour main event. He also won a $100K high roller event at the Aussie Millions last year, and he piled up more than $4 million in cashes.
The other nominees in the event included Jake Cody, Bertrand “Elky”Grospellier, Pius Heinz, Eugene Katchalov and Andrey Pateychuk.
Grospellier took down the personality of the year award, while Heinz won tournament performance of the year for his World Series of Poker main event championship.
