July 3, 2024 – Another win for the now seven-time World Series Poker Bracelet holder, Scott Seiver. Leading the $10,000 Deuce-to-Seven Single Draw Lowball Championship, Las Vegas Poker Pro gains the advantage in the WSOP Player of the Year competition. Seiver’s historic win last Sunday, June 30th brought the 39-year-old poker pro to a prestigious $10,000 no-limit deuce to seven single-draw lowball championships.

He took home the prize money amounting to a whopping $411,041, totaling over $26 million throughout the young pro’s poker career. In the annals of poker history, Seiver is the eighth player to win three bracelets in a single year, having previously won three in 1973, 1993, 1994, and 1995 with Puggy Pearson, 2002 with Phil Ivey, 2009 with Jeffrey Lisandro, and 2014 with George Danzer. Seiver is the first person to accomplish this amazing accomplishment in almost ten years.

Seiver is one of the youngest and the first person to accomplish this amazing accomplishment in almost a decade.

When asked about the historic win, Seiver exclaimed “I mean, I’m on cloud nine right now. I couldn’t be more excited. I thought I would do big things this summer, but I mean obviously you can never dream of something like this. But, I think I’m going to get more. I really do.”

Coming up in poker in a professional setting has always been a proven challenge for many pros and Seiver was not spared from this. When asked about winning this specific tournament, “It means everything to me. I was really devastated when I got second in this two years ago. I’ve always wanted this bracelet so much. This final table was unbelievably difficult. From two tables down, everyone was tremendous and honestly, that makes it even more special. I am good at this game, but I am not like world-class great. Getting to play with Jason Mercier, Billy Baxter… these are people who have won this tournament 10 times or whatever. It was very special.” Seiver only had to say.
