Jimmy Fricke (born c. 1987) from Mahomet, Illinois is a professional poker player.
In 2005 Fricke dropped out of college to play full time internet poker. Less than two years later, at age 19, he started on the live poker scene and immediately cashed in two major events within just eight days. He took 22nd place at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in the Bahamas and subsequently ended runner up at the Aussie Millions in Melbourne, Australia. This finish won him $ 800,000.
Fricke cashed in the World Series of Poker Europe 2007 HORSE event, temporarily holding the record for the youngest player to ever cash at a WSOP event.[1] His record was broken by Annette Obrestad only a few days later.
Fricke finished in the money (22nd place) at the 2007 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure World Poker Tour open tournament.
As of 2007, Fricke's total winnings exceed $800,000.[2]
