John Dolan is no stranger to success at the felt. Prior to today, the Florida resident had accumulated $3,807,388 in lifetime tournament earnings including a sixth place finish in the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event for $1,772,959. Dolan is no one hit wonder though and he’s proven that of late with a final table at this past summer’s WSOP and a fourth place finish for $548,732 at last month’s Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Main Event.

Dolan has added to those accomplishments with a win here today at the Coco Poker Open Championship Event and with the $219,500 he collected he moved over the four million mark in lifetime earnings. “I might never leave Florida,” Dolan joked when asked about his recent success in his home state. “I was going to play some next week but I think I might take a break now,” Dolan added. A well deserved break. Congratulations on your win John!
