Sam Trickett crashes £275k Ferrari

England's all-time money leader and One Drop runner-up has put a dent in his bankroll, and his prized sports car.

He crashed his Ferrari F458 yesterday. Thankfully he wasn't hurt, but no doubt his wallet will take a hammering this week, as the car is estimated to have cost around £275,000 when he purchased it. 

He bought the car in August 2012 a month after taking down $10,112,001 for coming 2nd in the first ever Big One for One Drop. 

It's not all bad news for Trickett, as he was the feature of a positive UK newspaper story on his rise from gasfitter to multi-millionaire poker pro. 

The feature in the Daily Express also focuses on his friend Rob Yong, the owner of the Dusk Till Dawn casino, which has a private cash game room named after Trickett. 

What do you think the repair bill will be for the car? What would your dream car be if you won a six-figure score? Let us know in the comments.
