Doc Holiday Giveaway in Poker Tournament
The upcoming Labor Day weekend poker tournament will be offering a very unique and special prize to the eventual winner, something to commemorate another winner at poker and a legend besides - an expensive print of Doc Holiday. The former dentist turned gambler and pal of Wyatt Earp, who turned from dentistry to gambling after contracting tuberculosis, was born John Henry Holliday, but picked up his nickname from his profession, and has been immortalized in films such as “Tombstone”. Prints of the famous pose of Holiday holding dental extractors - the only such image of him from his days in dentistry, typically go for thousands of dollars.
