Iowa's Taylor “gambol_time” Howard Looking for First WSOP Cash

Chad Holloway

Level 11 : 200/400, 50 ante

In order to participate in the WSOP.com online bracelet events, players must be in either Nevada or New Jersey. That means players in other locales would need to travel in order to partake. One such player is Iowa’s Taylor “gambol_time” Howard, who has $139,470 in live tournament earnings.

That includes a career-best $89,939 for winning the 2018 Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Meskwaki $1,100 Main Event. Howard has also had success playing online, which he hopes to carry over into this series.

Howard, who sent us a photo of him on his computer, is in action today and plans to be for much of the month. Putting in the volume and staying on the grind suggest this Midwesterner will notch his first-ever WSOP-related cash.
