A quick look at The Hendon Mob’s UK All-Time Money List shows that the players occupying the top 5 positions have won millions of pounds over the course of their careers and have challenged and emerged victorious over a great number of fierce and seasoned opponents. More information about how much they have won as well as about their most notable accomplishments could be found in the paragraphs below.
Sam Trickett
Trickett is not only the most profitable UK player of all time, but also one of the world’s top professionals. He has collected $20,591,180 (approximately £16,746,991) over the course of a career that spans back to 2007. Half of that sum came from his runner-up finish in the 2012 WSOP $1,000,000 The Big One for ONE DROP. Trickett finished second to Antonio Esfandiari in the major event to collect a payout of $10,112,001.
Over the course of his impressive career, the player has also won Aussie Millions Poker Championship A$250,000 and A$100,000 events, a Partouche Poker Tour Main Event, and many more.
Stephen Chidwick
With live tournament winnings of $6,509,254 (£5,295,650) and constant presence on the European and global poker scene, Chidwick is definitely among UK poker’s biggest names. Over the years, the player has been particularly active in WSOP events, he has cashed in 45 of them, as well as in EPT ones.
He scored his career largest cash of €378,000 in 2013 when he finished 3rd in the EPT Season 10 Prague €5,300 Main Event.
Dave Ulliott
Known by the Devilfish nickname, the late Ulliott will be long remembered as one of UK’s and the world’s best poker players. His professional poker career spanned for over two decades, during which he collected the total amount of $6,218,292 (£5,058,935).
Ulliott was a one time WPT Main Event champion and a one-time WSOP gold bracelet winner. He captured his WPT title in 2003 for topping the field of the WPT 4th Annual Jack Binion World Poker Open $10,100 Championship. As for his only gold bracelet, he won that one in 1997 for taking down the $2,000 Hold’em Pot-Limit event during the Series’ 28th annual edition.
Jack Salter
Salter made a name for himself as a tricky and skilful player for a relatively short period of time. He has accumulated live earnings of $5,516,973 (£4,488,372), his first cash dating back to November 2010. The player has taken part in a number of international events over the years, but it could be said that he has been most active in EPT events to have taken place around Europe.
Salter scored his largest live cash during the 47th WSOP this summer. The player took 4th place in the $111,111 No-Limit High Roller for ONE DROP, scooping $1,536,666 for his efforts.
