Early Career and RunGood Success

Trent Wilson's poker journey is closely tied to the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS), where he has accumulated over $52,000 in earnings from 29 cashes. His first major live win came in April 2023 at the RGPS Checkpoint Joplin, taking down a $300 Pot-Limit Omaha ring event for $7,044. He has since become a regular on the RGPS circuit, cashing in multiple festivals including Tulsa, St. Louis, and Joplin. His consistent results earned him achievements like "The Fed" for surpassing $10,000 in RunGood cashes and "King of the Tables" for exceeding $50,000.

First WSOP Circuit Ring

In August 2023, Wilson captured his first World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) ring at Hard Rock Tulsa. He won Event #12: $400 No-Limit Hold'em, outlasting a field of 157 entries to take home $13,296 and a seat in the 2024 Tournament of Champions. During the heads-up battle against friend Kyle Michael, Wilson made a wide shove with 8♠5♠ and hit a five on the flop, prompting him to scream "Da Bears!" — a nod to his favorite NFL team. Wilson commented, "I know Kyle. We're friends... Honestly I would want him to win it as much as me." This victory added to his growing resume, which also includes multiple final tables and rings from the RGPS circuit.

Overall Tournament Performance

Across all tracked events, Wilson has recorded 25 cashes on WSOP.com for $70,490 in earnings, plus additional results from the WSOP Circuit and other series. His largest single cash remains the WSOPC ring win, but he has also posted strong results in RGPS Main Events, including a 10th-place finish in the 2026 Tulsa $800 Main Event for $3,409 and a 25th-place finish in the 2025 St. Louis $800 Main Event for $2,596. His total live tournament earnings exceed $120,000.

Playing Style

Wilson describes himself as preferring No-Limit Hold'em tournaments and Pot-Limit Omaha cash games. His style is fundamentally sound, with an ability to make timely shoves and reads on opponents. He is not afraid to get out of line against friends, but generally plays a patient game that has allowed him to consistently cash across multiple series. His adaptability between ring events and main events highlights his well-rounded tournament skills.

Personal Tidbits

Wilson hails from the United States and is a fan of the Chicago Bears, as evidenced by his "Da Bears" outburst. He values family, expressing excitement about taking them to Vegas for the Tournament of Champions. Despite his growing success, he remains grounded and often competes against friends on the circuit.
