Does anyone know of any tournaments that are held in the tampa area? I have played in a few of the tourneys at Derby lane and dont really like the way the blinds are increased. Do I have any alternative options?

I was in Tampa two weeks ago visiting friends. I saw they were advertising 500 buy-in tournie. Seemed a little strange to me since they only have 1-2 and 2-2 limit because of your laws but the flyers on their podium said it was 500 buy-in.
