Lee Davy goes all Simon Trumper as he recollects his experiences with the man who very nearly won a million bucks in the $10k Pot-Limit Omaha Championships.

“He’s bald, he’s round, he’s worth a million pounds.”

That was the chant echoing around the atmospheric Amazon Room as Simon Trumper traded blows with Jason Mercier, Dan Smith, Davidi Kitai and Shaun Deeb at the final table of the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championships.

Trumper loves his movies. I doubt he had ever seen a script like this. Four of the best poker players in the world, battling it out with a fossil. It was like Terminator v Jurassic Park.
