Simon 'Aces' Trumper Survives Quad Jacks
With the board showing {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}, 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-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-Diamonds} for quad jacks.
Trumper is down to 2,000, but most players in his situation would already be headed for the exit.

If this is accurate...Greatest read of all times?

Meh. In my experience of playing with Simon he is far more interested in showing everyone how clever he is than he is in actually winning money. He gets one of these right once in a while, it looks great. In the long run though ...
