WSOP run ends for ex-Patriots DL Seymour

Richard Seymour’s deep rush into the 2019 World collection of Poker main event came to an end late Wednesday night in Las Vegas, as the former New England Patriots defensive lineman went out in 131st place from 8,569 complete entrants.
After starting Day 5 of the championship in 35th out of 1,286, Seymour spent most of the afternoon at the featured ESPN table. His stack rose and fell but largely stayed within a reasonable space of their 2.75 million chips he started with.
Seymour peaked early in the day with roughly 3.6 million processors and invested a brief stretch playing another NFL alumnus, former Detroit Lions tight end Eric Stocz. Seymour’s stack slowly dwindled, however, because he had been forced to make a set of tough folds with large hands, until he was reduced to 725,000 chips with blinds at 30,000/60,000 (along with a 60,000 large blind ante).

Seymour received a generous flop, as the Kc-6h-2d board gave him a set of kings along with the lead. The hand was dropped for good on the turn, though, as the Q’s gave Cai an unbeatable three-of-a-kind. The K’s river was salt in the wound, providing Seymour three championships to Cai’s full house.
Because of his efforts, Seymour earned a cash back of $59,295 — the second-largest outcome of his poker career. All told, Seymour has made $638,293 playing poker tournaments, as stated by the Hendon Mob database.”
