Over the years, Wolford made the final tables in other events at the WSOP, finishing in second place on several occasions.[3] He won a WSOP bracelet in 1991 in the $5,000 limit Texas hold 'em event, defeating fellow professional Erik Seidel. His career winnings were $1,012,500,[4] with his nine cashes at the WSOP accounting for $782,410 of his lifetime winnings.[1] Wolford also won the $10,000 No Limit Deuce-to-Seven Draw at the inaugural Super Bowl of Poker in 1979.[5] As a rodeo champion, Wolford set the all-time speed record for calf roping at Madison Square Garden in the 1950s.
