Shortly before the new year, the World Series of Poker announced that veteran poker pro Huck Seed has become the newest member of the Poker Hall of Fame.
The 51-year-old Seed, whose first recorded tournament score came back in 1990, has racked up nearly $7.65 million in live tournament earnings over the course of his three-decade career, including a $1 million payday for his victory in the 1996 WSOP main event.
Along with the WSOP gold he won from his breakthrough score in 1996, Seed also won bracelets in the 1994 $2,500 pot-limit Omaha event, the 2000 $1,500 razz event, and the 2003 $5,000 razz event. He also made the main event final table again, finishing sixth in 1999. Seed continued to prove his well-rounded poker abilities by cashing in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship three times as well.
