Never far from center stage in the 14 years since his Main Event win at the World Series, Huck Seed has done it again, winning this year’s Tournament of Champions (TOC). Essentially a 27-person freeroll comprised of essentially the greatest assembly of bracelet winners poker has to offer, Seed emerged from this most loaded of fields to claim the $500,000 winner’s payday.
Looking at some of the main achievements on Seed’s impressive poker resume, you can see that he truly belonged in the field: 4 total WSOP bracelets, a win at the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship last year, and almost $6 million in career winnings at the World Series of Poker.
Now, Seed has yet another top-tier achievement to add to the list. He joins Annie Duke, Mike Sexton, and Mike “the Mouth” Matusow as the only players to have won this prestigious event.
