John D'Agostino (born November 3, 1982) is an American professional poker player. As of 2024, his total live tournament winnings exceed $1,900,000.[1]

D'Agostino placed 5th in the second season World Poker Tour (WPT) PokerStars Caribbean Poker Adventure event, winning $99,450 in his first major tournament cash.[2] In July 2004, he finished runner-up in the $10,000 No Limit Hold'em event at Championship Poker in Verona for $250,000.[3]

At the 2004 United States Poker Championship, he had a huge chip lead heading into the final table. However, a bad beat against Hoyt Corkins (which prompted D'Agostino to angrily push his chip Corkins' way) led to D'Agostino's pocket 10s losing to quad 7s, leaving John with just one chip before he was eliminated in 6th place.[4]

He made a second WPT final table in the fourth season Borgata Poker Open event, where he finished in 4th place, earning $349,685.[5] Later in the season he finished 2nd to Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi in the 2006 Borgata Winter Poker Open, earning $591,312.[6]

D'Agostino is from Seymour, Connecticut. He had previously lived in Egg Harbor City, New Jersey.[7]
