If poker players had a resume, a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet would be like a doctorate degree. And having multiple bracelets to your name is a dream many players wish to fulfill. One such player who is living his dream is Scott Seiver. This poker pro has not one, not two, not three, but four WSOP bracelets to his name.
Scott Seiver was born on 14th April 1985 in Columbus, Ohio. He was based in Cold Spring Harbor in New York before moving to the mecca of poker, Las Vegas. In 2015, the 37-year-old became the only ninth player to rank at the number one position on the Global Poker Index (GPI). Apart from four bracelets, he has 59 cashes at the WSOP. He also has one World Poker Tour (WPT) title, which he clinched by nailing the No-Limit Hold’em Championship in 2011. According to Hendon Mob, Seiver ranks 24th in the All-Time Money List. This poker dynamo’s total live earnings (as of June 2022) are $24,864,328, the highest live cash being $5,160,000, which he earned for his second-place finish at the 2015 Super High Roller Bowl.

The Las Vegas resident won his first-ever WSOP bracelet in 2008 when he shipped the $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em event for a top prize of $755,891. His second bracelet came a decade later in 2018 from the $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship event for $296,222. He grabbed his third bracelet immediately in 2019 at a $10,000 buy-in Razz event, wherein he cashed $301,421 for his top place finish.

His fourth bracelet came in WSOP 2022 in the $2,500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em event. He added $320,059 to his bankroll after this win. He is now eligible to be inducted in the WSOP Poker Hall of Fame. It would be interesting to see if he makes it.
Seiver clinched his fifth WSOP gold bracelet by winning Event #10: $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Championship at the WSOP 2024, earning $426,744. This victory stands as his third-largest score at the WSOP, propelling him to 30th on the All-Time Money List with over $26 Million in earnings, as reported by the Hendon Mob. The $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Championship drew 197 entrants, generating a prize pool of $1,832,100, which was distributed among the top 30 finishers.
The 39 year old shipped Event #40: $1,500 Razz, securing his sixth bracelet and his second in just two weeks, along with a prize of $141,374. Seiver’s performance was commanding from the outset, as he entered Day 3 with the chip lead and maintained it for nearly the entire day. He faced a formidable final table featuring previous bracelet winners Ben Yu, Maxx Coleman, and Brandon Shack-Harris. However, Seiver’s ambitions for the summer extend beyond accumulating bracelets; he is also aiming for Player of the Year (PoY) and induction into the Poker Hall of Fame (PHoF).
But the pro did not stop at bracelet #6. Seiver has etched his name in the annals of WSOP by becoming the first player since Jeff Lisandro in 2009 to capture three bracelets in a single series. This extraordinary feat elevates Seiver’s career bracelet total to seven and solidifies his candidacy for the PHoF when he becomes eligible at 40 next year. Seiver’s most recent triumph occurred in Event #72: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship, where he emerged victorious among 186 competitors, earning a $411,041 top prize. This achievement significantly enhances his prospects in the WSOP 2024 Player of the Year (PoY) race.
