Some people just play poker for fun or go to casino and hope to win a little bit and get some drinks. Tyler Kolness, known by many as “TK” has turned his love and talent for poker into a brand and has been building now since about 2022.
After a long journey all over the world where he spent over 5 years in New Zealand, Australia, & numerous other countries learning diffeeent cultures and as many of us would call just enjoying life. Having been playing poker overseas and making and losing some money but always having a connection to it, it was only right he came back to the United States and found himself playing once in a while. It was years later that he would find himself entering tournaments and finding success, eventually going out traveling around the United States entering tournaments.
Gaining sponsors and a following from posting his journey on apps like Snapchat, Instagram, & Facebook TK has entered some major tournaments, and won! Being called “the phantom” when he was younger by his friends for having a good poker face and having a phantom-like finesse demeanor, it’s clear and no surprise TK has lived up to the nickname with his poker strategies.
