Sam Trickett And Jungleman Sponsored By Matchbook For 2012 WSOP

As well as offering betting odds on a whole host of sports, online betting exchange Matchbook.com is also well known for offering action on major poker tournaments.
With the 2012 World Series Of Poker having gotten underway this week, Matchbook have now revealed their roster of sponsored pros for this year’s series, who will be representing the site and wearing its company logos throughout the seven week poker extravaganza. This ten man team consists of some of the top names in the game including JP Kelly, Matt Perrins, Roberto Romanello, James Akenhead, Martins Adeniya, Ben Vinon, Jarred Solomon, John Hewitt, Dan “jungleman12” Cates and, of course, Sam Trickett.
Earlier this month, Trickett parted ways with Titan Poker but it wasn’t long before the 25 year-old UK pro was snapped up by his new sponsors and commenting on his latest deal, Trickett said:
“It was an easy choice partnering with Matchbook for the WSOP. Not only are all the players extremely talented but the majority of the team are also very good friends. It’s a unique environment to have as a poker team but provides us all with added support. I’m sure we are all going to have a fun and profitable summer together.”
Poker enthusiasts will also be able to keep an eye on each of the members of Matchbook Pro via regular blogs and updates which will appear on sports content site matchbookmedia.com. Highlighting the company’s objectives, Matchbook’s marketing manager Josh Green commented:
“Although Matchbook doesn’t have a poker product we are striving to become the number one destination for all poker betting and have just put up some markets for this year’s WSOP which cover bracelet bets and special match ups for the One Drop tournament. The volume and liquidity we are taking for these bets is unrivaled.”
