Isle Poker Classic Event #1 (Flight 1C): John Holley Making A "No Limit Hold'em Appearance", Headlines First Look At Notables

2018 Isle Poker Classic (Event #1)
$200 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack"
$100,000 GTD
Level 5 (Blinds 200/400/400)
Total Flight 1C Entries: 72

John Holley (Destin, FL) spend a lot of time playing poker, but also a good amount on the water, having been a sport fisherman for years.

John Holley (Destin, FL) may have Florida listed as his hometown on Hendon Mob, but he rarely finds himself in one place for too long.  Holley has been traveling around the country for years, playing poker...and finding himself some spots to fish.  Holley had over $1,700,000 in lifetime tournament earnings, with the results a combination of no limit hold'em, and mixed-game events.  While it seem like a majority of his results are from non-no limit hold'em tournaments, his largest cashes have come via the standard two-card events.  John has two six-figure scores on his resume, the first coming in 2013, when he finished third in the Seniors Event at the WSOP (Event #26 - $1,000 No Limit Hold'em) for $283,312.  Three years later, Holley won the largest WSOP Circuit event (at the time), which was hosted at Choctaw (in Durant, Oklahoma).  Event #3 of that series, which was a $365 buy-in tournament, attracted a field of 4,249 entries (and had a prize pool of $1,274,000).  The win was worth $203,944, but also was his fifth (of eight total) WSOP Circuit title.  

After spending time playing some mixed events during the Rock N' Roll Poker Open, Holley is now ready for some no limit hold'em action, and was one of the first notables spotted into today's Flight 1C field.   @Hohnjolley headlines the first list of notables in the crowd, joining the likes of:
