The Tampa poker players came out in force today for Day 1c of the 2014 PPC North America Championship at Tampa Downs with 134 entrants bringing the total numbers for the $200,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool to 315. When play wrapped up shortly before 9 p.m. local time, there were only 20 of those players remaining.
Fred Miller used momentum from a key double up against Natasha Barbour late in play to end with the biggest stack of the day at 268,400. This moved Miller into the overall chip lead ahead of Day 1a chip leader Arri Stone's 250,100. The second biggest stack of Day 1c would belong to Stanley Trim with 245,400. Trim hit a two outer to score a massive double up against John Pappas as play came to a close. Rounding out the top three was Ian Zeaman with a stack of 231,800.
Others that will move on to final day play on Sunday included Giancarlo Disalvo (95,000), Chris Thompson (180,100), Robert Harwell (120,900), John Pappas (42,200), Evlys Gutierrez (210,000), and Natasha Barbour (35,900).

Last Hand of the Night Sees Fireworks at Two Tables
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
In what would be the last hand of the night, there would be an elimination at one table and a double up at another table. Julio Martinez doubled up with 
against the 
of Chris Thompson when Martinez moved all in on a 
flop and would fade the outs Thompson had when the turn and river bricked out.
William Dubay would deliver the knock out blow to end play for the night when his 
took out a short-stacked player holding 
when the board ran out 
.
We'll have full chip counts of the 20 surviving players momentarily.
Pappas Gets Trimmed
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
With a flop of 
chips started flying into the middle between Stanley Trim and John Pappas with Pappas moving all in and getting quickly called by Trim. Pappas had flopped a set with 
and Trim had flopped bottom two pair with 
. The turn was the 
keeping Pappas in the lead and he only needed to avoid one of two jacks to knock out Trim and move into the chip lead. The river was cruel for Pappas and sweet for Trim as it was the giving Trim a bigger full house.
The rest of the table oohhh'ed and aaahhh'ed as a frustrated Pappas counted out the chips he owed Trim.

What About the Spades?
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
We got to the table and the dealer was chopping up a pot between Natasha Barbour who held 
and Fred Miller who had 
on a double paired board. No one, except for Miller, was aware of the three spades that were on the board and as the dealer was working on splitting up the chips Miller looked once more at the board and asked the dealer "what about the spades?"
It was then that the dealer — and the rest of the table — noticed that Miller had hit the nut flush. Much to Barbour's chagrin, she had to send a full double up over to Miller who moved up to 145,000. Barbour was crippled down to 32,000 after the hand.

Level 13
