The Wisconsin State Champ Chipping Up

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Ben Wiora on Day 1a
Ben Wiora on Day 1a

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 {5-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, and then Wiora led out for 3,625 on the {2-Hearts} turn. The player to his left folded, but the hijack called to see the {K-Diamonds} 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.

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 {q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. 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.

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Michael Sanders is no doubt hoping to follow in the footsteps of his fellow RunGood Ambassadors Ryan Tepen and Joe Hebda, the Day 1a and 1b chip leaders respectively, by bagging up the biggest stack in the room. There's still a lot of play before that will happen, but he's certainly off to a good start.

In a recent hand, five players paid 500 each to see a {5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop. Three checks saw an older gentlemen move all in for 6,550, and Sanders, the preflop raiser, put in a call. The three checkers folded, and the cards were turned up.

Sanders: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Sanders was ahead with top pair, but his opponent had a gutshot straight draw to go with his middle pair. The {4-Clubs} turn didn't change anything, and neither did the {2-Clubs} river. Sanders held and laid claim to yet another pot.

Show Me the Mohnen

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Four players put in 1,800 each preflop to see a flop of {2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. The player in the big blind checked, and that opened the door for Jared Mohnen to bet 3,300 from early position. The player in the hijack folded, Saied Moradi did the same from the cutoff, and the big blind though long and hard before releasing his cards. Ship a small one to Mohnen.
