Paul Strohm is one of the Run Good regulars now ever since he met Grant Hinkle. Strohm's college roommate was dating Hinkle's mother.
Hinkle was invited to join the Monday Night Poker crew in Kansas City two years ago and, as he sits enjoying a glass of wine on the rail, seems like he couldn't be happier with his choice.
He bagged 106,500 earlier today in flight B and is just hanging out to stay up to date on how his friends are doing in flight C.
He has three sons (28,26,24) and Nick, his middle son, is the one who got him into poker in the first place.
For Nick's 21st birthday he bought him a seat in a $500 charity no limit tournament. Nick chopped the prize pool heads up and lost heads up for the trophy. Nick encouraged Strohm to start playing and he eventually did. Since then he has won $22,462 in live tournaments with his first cash coming in 2017.
The semi-retired building technology specialist is looking to top his best previous finish in a Run Good Main Event. He finished 23rd for $1,617 at the Kansas City stop.

Dustin Lindblad is in the field and he spends his Sundays mowing his lawn and listening to the PokerNews Podcast. He says it takes about an hour-and-a-half to mow his one acre lawn and the podcast fits perfectly.
He is also the only person who says he'd like to play with Antonio Esfandiari and Garrett Adelstein if he makes the Poker After Dark sit and go.
He's been with his wife of 15 years since high school and the two have a seven-year-old son. Lindblad owns a trucking company that hauls agricultural products around the country.

Jeff Tebben's been playing poker since 2013 when he started Monday Night Poker, a poker league in Kansas City which includes four WSOP bracelet winners.
"We call it the toughest forty-dollar home game in the country."
Tebben, Blair and Grant Hinkle, and James Mackey are all part of the Monday Night Poker league, which Tebben says started when the group decided they wanted a reason to get together, play poker, and watch football.
Tebben works in sales and says it's not that exciting and, as Julie Cornelius pointed out, infamously check-raise bluffed William Watcher in the WSOP Main Event to leave him short before he eventually busted. Watcher was the oldest player to cash the Main Event at age 94.
