Sam Triquet: The Rise, Fall, and Resurgence of a Poker Star


Sam Triquet was one of the leading offline poker stars a few years ago, showing outstanding results in expensive tournaments. However, his interest in poker waned, and he took a break from the game. In the fall of 2016, Triquet signed a contract with partypoker, marking a significant return to the poker scene.

Triquet's biggest offline win was £2.1 million, while his biggest loss was £2.8 million. He enjoys playing PLO with Leon Tsukernik but dislikes playing with Ben Tolleren online and Timofey Kuznetsov offline. Triquet met his future wife, Nicki, during the One Drop tournament in 2014, a memorable event that changed his life both personally and professionally.

Despite the challenges and setbacks, Triquet remains passionate about poker and continues to strive for excellence in the game. His journey serves as an inspiration for many in the poker community, showcasing the resilience and dedication required to succeed in this competitive field.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
