Notable Information

Scott Seiver collected his third career WSOP gold bracelet yesterday, this one in the $10K Razz Championship. And he appreciated that it was in a limit game, one that he finds interesting and tough. “These are a lot of the games I love the most, so I feel like I’m giving my most focus,” he said. “People like to pretend otherwise, but it really does matter in poker.”

The cash game and tournament pro noted that the WSOP requires a balance between the two types of poker, and switching from cash to tournaments keeps him from burning out or tiring of one form.

As for his legacy in poker, Seiver thinks about winning more than just a few bracelets. “Everyone has some kind of goal in mind, and if I just win like two or three a year for the next 15 years, that’ll be good,” he joked. “Try to get to like 33 or something in like a decade would be a nice goal.”
