John MacNaughton and Carolyn Tulloch Celebrate Love and Poker
Canada's John MacNaughton and Carolyn Tulloch already have much to celebrate during this time of year, but 2017 is turning out to be much more special for the poker couple.
MacNaughton and Tulloch are celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary on July 25th, 2017. The couple hails from Innisfail, Alberta in Western Canada and are regulars on the tournament poker scene. In addition to making their rounds in Canada, the duo has had success in Las Vegas, the Bahamas, and Australia.
Both of these players have now locked up their first Main Event cash, sitting on healthy stacks here on Day 4. Tulloch comes into the day with 500,000 and MacNaughton sits on 343,000, with both players having a shot at big success now that the pressure of the money bubble is off their back.
The couple has had success together at the 2010 Aussie Millions Poker Championship in the A$1,100 No Limit Hold'em Team Event after coming in second place for A$21,800/$20,121 USD. They have also had their own deep runs, with MacNaughton finishing as runner-up in January 2016 in the $1,100 Deep Stack Extravaganza in Las Vegas or $28,715. Tulloch came close to a bracelet in June 2012 in Event #29: $1,000 No Limit Hold'em Seniors Championship, pocketing $37,672 for her tenth-place finish.
There is plenty of play to go, and PokerNews will be sure to check up on the Canadian poker couple as the day progresses.
