Seat 3: John Holley (586,000)
John Holley is a 49-year old professional fisherman from Destin, Florida. He was recently divorced and has three children, ages five, seven and eleven. Holley is a familiar face on the WSOPC circuit. He previously final tabled the Main Event in Biloxi, Mississippi where he finished in ninth place. In that event, he claimed to have had a vision that he'd make the final table after he did a good deed. In addition, Holley says his kids want to see him make a TV final table. Although today's final table will not be televised, a Holley victory would earn him a spot in the WSOPC Championship and a chance at that TV final table along with $1 million.
"This has been the most challenging year in my life going thru . . . the Gulf oil spill but God has told me to take it one step at a time," Holley confessed in Biloxi. A second WSOPC final table seems like a step in the right direction.
