Like John Holley, World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Jonathan Hilton late registered just prior to Level 9. He took his seat to 16,000 starting chips and has turned those holding into 42,000 over the course of less than two levels.

Most recently, Hilton lead with a flush and got value off heads up runner up Howard Mash. Hilton took the pot and Mash grumbled in disgust.

One of the last entries in Flight C was John Holley. Holley, who’s been on site for the majority of the series and notched numerous cashes including three in one day, entered the $350 during the last break and took his seat right after. He promptly got some change for his big chips, anted up and moved all-in from early position on the very first hand. Every got out of the way and with that, Holley was above starting stack.
