$1,650 Winter Poker Open Championship
Level 13: 1,000/2,000/300 Ante

Derek Bowers isn’t the only player running up a stack in Tampa. Florida pro Timothy “T.K.” Miles is putting himself in contention as well.

Miles, who won the $3,500 Summer Poker Open Championship for more than $295,000 at this very property in 2004, holds nearly 140,000 chips with about an hour left for the day. Miles is a professional poker player from nearby Tallahassee, FL and he’s recorded cashes across the state including a 17th-place finish in the WPO’s $560 event less than two weeks ago.
