He's an armwrestler? I did meet him through the poker tournament in Vegas. To know him on both levels would be beneficial ! What do you know of him, Steve? |

Trenton has competed over the years out West and in the Montana Region.With MUCH success!..A 242er, pulls lefty. It seems he stopped for a while( Leonard and Denise SHOULD know better than I), BUT was in Vegas as a superheavy. He got 5th, lost to Eric W in the straps, then to August Smisl. He says he is going to TRY to go to the Unifieds.

Twice he won the World Wristwrestling Championship in the 199+ division Left beating Eric Woelfel and got 4th right. He was 210-220 at the time. Trenton got bored and retired then came back for the Curacao event and broke his left wrist in a shock break against Paul Maurais from New Hampshire.
They are both very fast and they hit at the same time and got stopped in the center. Trenton's wrist healed better than ever and came back for one event in Sturgis before retiring again. He is a very smart and fast armwrestler and you lefty’s have someone to contend with now that he is back to stay. Trent works on an oil rig in Wyoming 10 days on and 10 days off so he has to time his events. He will be in Little Rock. ;D

Christian and Leonard did a great job. I'd just like to add that he, Eric and I went to Russia on the US Team back in 1995 and had a great time. Trenton is very fast and has a natural strength from working day in and day out. Sort of the wirery quick strength that you would expect from a cowboy or bull rider. He also has done a lot of guiding of horse riding tours.... seem to remember a story about Brook Shields before she got married. |

We went all-in on a blind hand. I would have had to win 10 of those to catch up to Trent. |

I heard you looked at your cards first He said that he didn't look at his cards. Gary said he was going to put the video on the site. I want to see the strategy. ;D |

No, I never did see my cards. Matter of fact, the dealer was still dealing them when Trent suggested the play, so, I reluctantly agreed.  If I had seen my cards, there would have been no way I'd gone all-in on a 2 and 6 (I believe that was my hand)  I would like to see that footage also. If I had looked at my cards, I certainly don't remember doing so. It would be like reading a page in a book and not remembering what you just read... |
