Scott Seiver biography
Scott Seiver was born on April 14, 1985, in Columbus, Ohio, and now resides in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he has built one of the most versatile and enduring careers in modern high-stakes poker. Known by the nickname "The Deipnosophist," a nod to his wide-ranging intellectual interests beyond the felt, Seiver has amassed over $27.3 million in live tournament earnings and seven WSOP gold bracelets across a career that spans nearly two decades.
His breakthrough bracelet came in 2008 in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em event for $755,891, and he went on to capture major titles including the 2011 WPT World Championship for $1,618,344 and the 2013 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Super High Roller for over $2 million. In May 2015, Seiver became just the ninth player in Global Poker Index history to be ranked world number one, and the same year he finished runner-up in the Super High Roller Bowl for a career-best $5,160,000.
His most remarkable stretch came in 2024, when he won three WSOP bracelets across three entirely different disciplines, No-Limit Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Lo, and Razz, a rare feat of cross-format mastery that earned him WSOP Player of the Year honors that season and reaffirmed his standing as one of the most complete all-around players of his generation.
