Championship Day 1C: TK Back to Defend

Level 8:  600/1,200 with a 1,200 ante

T.K. Miles

The field now contains our defending champion; T.K. Miles joined Day 1C this afternoon, trying to go back-to-back. He conquered the 772-entry Championship last year with an outright win for $213K and put himself at the top of our all-time cash list.

Miles has $4.7 million in career earnings with $719K of that coming from our room. For a brief moment, 2021 WPT Tampa champ Brian Altman surpassed him at the top of the all-time list but Miles took it back with two deep runs during the 2022 Tampa Poker Classic.
