Lee is All 'bout that Bass, 'bout that Bass, No Trimble
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Nick Trimble opened for 1,100 from middle position and RunGood Ambassador Bernard Lee called from the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded, and it was heads-up action to the flop, which came down 
. Trimble continued for 1,200 and Lee quickly folded. A boring and inconsequential hand for sure, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on their counts. As you can see, both are down from the last time we checked in on them.

The Wisconsin State Champ Chipping Up
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
A couple weeks ago, Ben Wiora topped a field of 463 players to win the MSPT Wisconsin State Poker Championship for $114,512. Wiora opted to make the seven-hour drive to Council Bluffs and is looking for even more poker success. The Wisconsinite played Day 1a only to bust in the early goings. He skipped Day 1b, but he's giving it another go here on Day 1c.
Recently, Wiora opened for 825 under the gun only to have his neighbor to the left pop it to 2,500. The player in the hijack flatted, and action folded back to Wiora, who just called. All three players ended up checking the 
flop, and then Wiora led out for 3,625 on the 
turn. The player to his left folded, but the hijack called to see the 
river.
Not to be deterred, Wiora fired out 8,000, and that did the trick and his opponent chucked his cards to the muck. With that, Wiora is up to 45,000.

Justin Gardenhire: The Man, the Myth, the Legend
Level 6
: 300/600, 75 ante
Justin Gardenhire, who just late registered the tournament, has been a Team RunGood veteran since the inaugural year. He is married with one beautiful daughter and resides in the great state of Oklahoma. With a ninth-place finish in the World Series of Poker National Championship and a 17th-place finish in the WSOP $1,500 PLHE event last year he is hoping to get the Rio “monkey” off his back and close out an event at the 2015 WSOP, but of course a Run Good title in between would be sweet.
"I began playing poker as many of us did with friends in a private game. A group of about eight of us would play a $10 tournament almost every night then the winner would usually take everybody out to the bar afterwards and spend all his winnings on the group," Gardenhire says of his poker origins. " Although most of these guys don't play anymore I knew from the start with my love of gambling and competitiveness my passion for poker wouldn't die out anytime soon. From there I met Ash Day who introduced me to online poker and that is when I started playing for money that wouldn't just change what I did that night but what I did for the rest of my life. I have been very fortunate to meet some of the people along the way that have helped me develop as an all around poker player."
