Scott Seiver is an American professional poker player and a 2024 Poker Hall of Fame nominee. Widely regarded as one of the most brilliant minds in the game, Seiver is one of the few players to achieve elite-level dominance in both high-stakes cash games and the world’s most prestigious tournament series.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
With total live tournament earnings exceeding $26,201,173 (according to The Hendon Mob), Seiver ranks within the top 30 on the All-Time Money List. His career-best live score of $5,160,000 was achieved in 2015 at the $500,000 Super High Roller Bowl, where he finished as the runner-up. Seiver is a nine-time WSOP bracelet winner, a feat highlighted by his historic 2024 performance where he became only the seventh player to win three bracelets in a single summer. His titles span multiple disciplines, including No-Limit Hold’em, Limit Razz, and Omaha Hi-Lo. His sustained success across the High Roller circuit and “The Big Game” contributes to an estimated poker net worth of over $25 million.
Biography & Poker Background
Born in Columbus, Ohio, and raised in New York, Seiver attended Brown University, where he excelled in computer science and economics before turning to poker full-time. He burst onto the live scene in 2008 by winning his first WSOP bracelet in a $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em event. Unlike many specialists, Seiver is a “pure gamer” who transitioned from a background in Magic: The Gathering to become a fixture in the highest-stakes mixed games at Bobby’s Room and Aria. In 2024, his peerless consistency and triple-bracelet summer led to his induction into the conversation as one of the top five all-around players in history.
Play Style & Strategy
Seiver is renowned for a “hyper-analytical and fearless” play style that prioritizes logic and game theory over traditional intuition. His strategy is characterized by extreme adaptability; he is equally comfortable playing “small ball” in limit games as he is pulling massive, high-variance bluffs in No-Limit High Rollers. He is particularly famous for his “speech play” and psychological warfare, using table talk to extract information and tilt his opponents. His 2024 WSOP run, winning championships in three vastly different variants (Omaha, Razz, and No-Limit), serves as a masterclass in modern mixed-game strategy and mental endurance.
