Pictured: Not Sam Trickett.
Whatever high-stakes run-good Sam Trickett and Tobias Reinkemeier had in 2012 has spilled over into the new year.
Last year, Trickett banked over $10M in high roller events (albeit it was just one cash, at the $1M OneDrop WSOP event). Reinkemeier cashed in four events in ’12–all high-rollers–for just over $2M.
The first super high roller event of 2013 wrapped at the Aussie Millions, with Trickett and Reinkemeier battling it out. Trickett took it down, earning $2M AUD. Reinkemeier earned $1,250,000 AUD for second.

I love you, money.
Antonio Esfandiari just scored the biggest prize in poker history.
Now dirty little secret time for our mainstream readers: if he (or any pro outside of Phil Ivey) owned all 100% of himself, the score would be even sweeter. None of these guys completely owned themselves.
Regardless, the Magician controlled final table action, defeating Sam Trickett heads-up to bank $18,346,673. Trickett takes home $10,112,001.
The win makes Esfandiari poker’s all-time tournament money winner (obviously), putting him over the $22M mark. Tricket now has over $16M in career earnings.
Phil Hellmuth grinded out a fourth place finish for $2,645,333.
The two rich guys who were going to donate all prize money to charity–David Einhorn and Guy Laliberté–finished third ($4,352,000) and fifth ($1,834,666) respectively.

Not on hand to see Sam Trickett's win? Australian model Miranda Kerr, who just had a baby, which means she'll never look as good as this again.
Seems like there’s a lot of $1M+ prizes lately, right?
Twenty-four year-old Brit Sam Trickett is the latest million-plus winner, taking down the 2011 Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge.
Trickett outlasted a field of 38 to bank $1,525,000 AUD ($1,507,000 USD). Over the past 12 months, Trickett has quietly put together an amazing run, pushing his earnings during that span over $2.5M.
Tony Bloom finished second ($975,000 AUD) and Erik Seidel came in third ($625,000 AUD). For those keeping track at home, the third place finish gives Seidel over $10M now in career tournament earnings. Or about $4M more than Johnny Chan. Just sayin’.
