Anyone ever heard of this guy George Cottrell, was he on any of the Triton cash game streams or were these the off stream games?


Apparently he lost £16m in Montenegro last week at Triton playing cash. It’s the Daily Mail so take that with a pinch of salt:

Looks like he’s the son or family of some aristocrats but tbh even they would have a hard time spunking thag sort of money. If you google him looks like he’s been high stakes gambling for some time. He also got arrested and served time for wire fraud so could be money laundering.

Which celebrities and high roller players were in this game?

No doubt, it was other people's money which he lost.

His wikipedia is wild lol

Wonder who scooped the monies in that game. Come on, how does no one know someone at this Triton stop who can spill the beans on who's sitting the table?

Rob Yong's tweet that the main cashgame played too big for him suddenly makes sense.

edit: I just realized that Ivey randomly punt-shipping K8o pre early at a final table a few days back is starting to make more sense too.....

It's an interesting rabbit hole.

One of his relatives owned the biggest private residence in England - Wentworth Woodhouse.

Amazing that these sorts of games are running would love to know more. Rob often responds quite honestly on X so maybe he can shed some info.

Not sure whats most astonishing. Your math or the fact that you think her name is that common. After googling her, she is 29 and the picture is 9 years old. She was 20 when dating Blom. It is the same person obviously.

Probably a couple decades after he is sent to prison.
