Jeff Tims made the trip to New Orleans from Houston, Texas. Before diving into the poker world to become a professional player, Tims was a small business owner. This trip has proved to be a great one thus far, as Tims was able to best the field of 402 runners to capture event #12 here at Harrah's for over $58,000. Spending a lot of his time traveling to poker events around the country, Tims enjoys reading in his downtime and is an avid movie buff. He has worked his way to this final table using strong bets and powerful play. Since turning pro, this is the fifth final table of a major poker tournament for Tims.
