PODCAST: Card Player's Poker Stories With Scott Seiver

Poker Stories is a new, long-form audio series that features casual interviews with some of the game’s best players and personalities. Each episode highlights a well-known member of the poker world and dives deep into their favorite tales both on and off the felt.

Scott Seiver is only 31 years old, but he’s already established himself as one of the top poker players of all time.That’s not an exaggeration. He has $21.7 million in career live tournament earnings, which is currently good enough for sixth place all time. Scott has five seven-figure scores on his resume, with his biggest being a runner-up finish in the $500k buy-in Super High Roller Bowl in 2015 for $5.1 million.

Seiver earned his World Series of Poker bracelet back in 2008, taking down a $5,000 no-limit hold’em event for $755,891. He is also a World Poker Tour winner, having won the WPT Championship in 2011 for $1.6 million.

Highlights from this interview include why Tokyo is a real city, Ivy League schools, betting on a butterfly stroke, offseason tournament destinations, the surprising importance of Bill Gazes and how to play pocket jacks.
