Eric Seidel's
Poker History
 Eric
Seidel has not attained the same amount of fame that some of the
other talented players have with the recent poker boom, his name
frequently comes up when poker players are asked to name the players
they respect the most. One memorable duel he had was with Johnny
Chan when Chan won his second consecutive world championship,
trapping the then-young and inexperienced Seidel into moving in
with a pair of queens when Chan held the nut straight. Eric tries
to downplay this now legendary event (immortalized by footage in
the movie 'Rounders'), saying he considers himself lucky to be at
the table. In 1992, Erik won his first WSOP gold bracelet by besting
a large field in the $2500 limit hold'em event. He also won a bracelet
in each of the next two years, taking an Omaha eight-or-better $2500
event, and then a $5,000 limit hold'em event in 1994. Seidel won
his largest tournament payoff (at the time) in 2001 when he picked
up $411,000 with a no-limit WSOP win. In 2003, he won a pot-limit
event, giving him six gold bracelets.
