Seymour was spotted playing the Main Event at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas this summer. The seven-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle had cashed in two smaller events in Vegas and in Philadelphia prior to finally earning his first big score last night in Jacksonville. No word yet on where Seymour plans on playing next, although with the WPT closing the 2014 portion of its season in Las Vegas in December, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Seymour on the strip in a few weeks time.
