“Richard Seymour’s deep run to the 2019 World Series of Poker main event came to an end late Wednesday night at Las Vegas, since the former New England Patriots defensive lineman went outside in 131st place from 8,569 complete entrants.
Seymour spent most of the day at the ESPN table that was featured in 35th out of 1,286 after starting Day 5 of the championship. His stack rose and fell but largely stayed within a reasonable space of their 2.75 million processors he began with.
Seymour appeared early in the day with about 3.6 million processors and spent a brief stretch playing with another NFL alumnus, former Detroit Lions tight end Eric Stocz. Seymour’s heap gradually dwindled, though, because he had been forced to make a set of tough folds with large hands, until he had been reduced to 725,000 chips with blinds at 30,000/60,000 (along with a 60,000 big blind ante).
He faced two players with his championship on the line and wager all-in for 725,000.
Richard Seymour: Kh-4d
Zhen Cai: Qh-Qd
Anuj Agarwal: Ad-3d
As he was given a pair of championships and the lead by the Kc-6h-2d board seymour received a generous flop. The hand was lost on the turn, however, as the Q’s gave Cai an unbeatable three-of-a-kind. The K’s river was salt in the wound, providing three championships to the entire home of Cai to Seymour.
Because of his efforts, Seymour made a cash back of $59,295 — the second-largest result of his poker career. All told, Seymour has earned $638,293 playing poker tournaments, according to the Hendon Mob database”
