Simon 'Aces' Trumper Survives Quad Jacks

[user10554]

With the board showing {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

on the turn, a player bets 5,000, and Simon 'Aces' Trumper calls. The river card is the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

, and the first player bets 7,000. Trumper thinks for a bit, saying, "There's only one hand that beats me here." He thinks a little longer, and simply calls, leaving himself 2,000 in chips as he shows {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

for top full house on the river.

Most people would have put their last 2,000 in the pot there, but Trumper's read was correct, as his opponent shows {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

for quad jacks.

Trumper is down to 2,000, but most players in his situation would already be headed for the exit.
