Timeline
John James Furlong (25 December 1937 – 27 June 2021) was an Irish businessman and poker player who won the 1999 World Series of Poker main event.
Furlong was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland.
He originally became a millionaire from his carpet manufacturing business, Furlong Flooring.
Although christened John James Furlong, he was nicknamed "Noel" because he was born on Christmas Day.
Furlong began playing poker in 1984, and in his first trip to the World Series of Poker in 1989, he placed 6th in the main event.
Furlong also won the Irish Poker Open, the longest running tournament in Europe (and now one of the largest), in 1987 and again in 1989.
Furlong is one of only five players in Irish Poker Open history to have won the tournament twice.
In his later years, he did not travel much to play poker, preferring to concentrate on his business and other interests while playing occasionally in tournaments in Ireland and the United Kingdom.
Furlong stated, "He was my mentor at cards. He got me to take up the game originally."
He added, "I would not have gone to Las Vegas this year to play in the World Poker Championships if not for him. He rang me two days before the event started and said, `I have two firstclass tickets to Vegas.' He persuaded me to go."
In March 1991 he won £1.5m from bookmakers when his horse Destriero won the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham.
Furlong died on 27 June 2021 from natural causes, aged 83.
Ten years later, Furlong's biggest win came in the 1999 WSOP main event, in which he won $1 million.
Until Andy Black's 5th-place finish at the 2005 World Series of Poker main event, he was the top money-winning Irish poker player in the world.
He is ranked on the Irish poker tournament money-winning list.
As of 2009, Furlong's total live tournament winnings exceed $1,100,000.
His 3 cashes at the WSOP account for $1,070,785 of those winnings.
Furlong owned a carpet distribution company that does over $100 million worth of business a year.
Because of his involvement with the carpet business, he didn't play poker frequently, usually only the WSOP and tournaments in Ireland and western Europe.
Furlong's other interests included owning horses and working as a horse trainer.
