Timothy Miles, who sits second on the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year leaderboard, opened for 525 from the cutoff. Robert Melo called from the button and the big blind came along as well.

Flop: Ks7c7h

The big blind checked to Miles. He made a continuation bet of 900. Melo quickly and calmly raised to 2,000. The big blind folded and Myles got out of the way as well. Melo took the pot.

With that, Melo continued his upward trend while Miles has yet to get much traction.

Roberto Melo – 39,500
Timothy Miles – 15,000
