| Timothy "TK" Miles (Tallahassee, FL) was in attendance for yesterday's Day 1A flight, but was unable to find a bag at the end of the night. Miles is seemingly on the precipice of something really big, falling just short of WPT "televised" final tables in back-to-back efforts (WPT Borgata Poker Open, WPT BestBet Bounty Jacksonville). |
 |
| Steven McKoy (Birmingham, AL) has already locked up a profitable series, taking down the "winner's share" of the Event #5 chop from earlier in the series ($39,000). McKoy has spent some of his time since then frequenting the higher limit cash games in the room (5/10 NLH and 10/25 NLH), but wasn't about to pass up this opportunity to win his third Isle Poker trophy. |
 |
| Tom Gity (Pompano Beach, FL) is playing this bullet "on the house," having earned entry into this event by bagging a chip lead bonus from Event #5. The Massachusetts native now calls Florida home, and has really made a name for himself in the "Sunshine State" poker community. Tom is coming off a summer where he had a $66,000 score (Event #1 SHRPO) and a $25,000 score (Event #22 SHRPO) just weeks apart. What wasn't listed as well was the tournament he took down here at the Isle ($100,000 Guarantee) just days after his SHRPO Main Event deep run. |
 |
| Ryan Van Sanford (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) is on the list of "players who need no introduction," as the WPT title holder from Best Bet Jacksonville was one of the later arrivals this afternoon. Van Sanford has played in two tournaments this series without cashing, but is considered a threat in most every event he plays. |
