An NFL Star Among Poker Pros

[user20283]

Nível 1 : 100/200, 25 ante

It's hard to miss a man that measures 6 ft 6 and well over 300 pounds in a poker tournament room filled with normal mortals, as former NFL star Richard Seymour can't be missed in today's $25k High Roller.

Seymour's accomplishments on the field are stellar, having made the Pro Bowl seven times and wining the Super Bowl three times with the New England Patriots.

The defensive tackle, who was picked sixth in the 2001 NFL draft, played the latter years of his career for the Oakland Raiders where he became, at the time, the highest paid defensive player in the NFL. Seymour signed a two-year contract extension worth $30 million dollars in 2011, and he retired at the end of his contract.

Seymour's no stranger to the green felt, as he played the Main Event at the PCA this year, and he's managed to cash in two WPT events in the last two years. Today he'll be battling it out with the likes of Mike McDonald, Peter Jetten, Charlie Carell and Talal Shakerchi.
