With 43 players remaining in the field, we still have one man left standing with a chance to win a second Main Event title this week.
Huck Seed is a professional poker player who grew up in Montana where he was a star basketball player on his high school team. From there, Seed attended the California Institute of Technology as an engineering student. On a break from college in 1989, Huck began playing poker regularly and has never looked back. A staggering six foot, seven-inch man, Huck Seed is far from intimidating in demeanor. He’s soft-spoken and generally regarded as one of the nice guys in the world of poker.
Seed has his picture on the walls of the Amazon Room in Las Vegas for his victory in the 1996 WSOP Main Event. That earned him his lone seven-figure tournament payday as he took home his second gold bracelet and $1,000,000 in cash. He's since picked up another two bracelets, including a second appearance at the Main Event final table in 1999. This year, Huck took down the Tournament of Champions at the WSOP, the invitation-only event that scored him a cool half-million dollars. All told, he's racked up just shy of $6 million in career tournament cashes.
Seed’s also done very well for himself outside of the WSOP. He’s traveled the world playing the tournament circuit and had deeps runs and hefty cashes all over the place. He’s won events at the Festa al Lago III WPT event, the World Poker Finals, and the L.A. Poker Classic.
Whether it’s maneuvering through large fields or playing one on one in heads-up tournaments, Seed adjusts to any form. He has perennially done very well for himself at the National Heads-Up Poker Championships. Seed cashed in 2005 for $25,000, in 2006 for $125,000, in 2007 again for $25,000, and in 2008 for $125,000. As if that’s not good enough, Seed won the event in 2009 and pocketed $500,000 after he defeated Vanessa Rousso in the final match. Seed also has a win in the Canadian Heads-Up Poker Championship.
Huck is getting a bit short on chips at the last count (95,000/24bb), but as long as he's got the proverbial chip and a chair, he might well be one of the favorites to make another WSOP final table run here in London.
Daniel Steinberg opened for 8,000 in the hijack and was met with a reraise to 22,000 from Magnus Persson in the small blind. Steinberg went all in to cover Persson who promptly called all in, and they were on their backs.

Board: 
...
Things started looking up for the 2007 WSOPE Main Event finalist on the river, and he doubled to 250,000. Steinberg is now on only slightly more than that - 290,000.
Bojan Gledovic raised from the button to 10,000. Rudy Blondeau reraised to 28,000 from the small blind. Gledovic four-bet to 70,000 and then Blondeau moved all in for about 240,000 total. Gledovic mucked and Blondeau won the pot.
Viktor Blom has just shown the sort of bottle that's won and lost him millions over the last couple of years. He was involved in a pot with Rob Akery who himself is a high-stakes online cash player.
The turn had just been dealt and the board read 
with around 70k already in the middle. Akery checked from UTG and then called Blom's 52,000 bet from mid-position. The river came 
and Akery quickly checked to face a 278,000 all-in push from Blom. Akery looked like he was at the London Dungeons rather than Leicester Square as he had a tortured look upon his face as he pondered his decision for his last 260k. He eventually folded only to be shown 
from Blom for a bluff.
Viktor Blom raised to 9,000 from early position and Nicolas Levi moved all in for 110,500 from the big blind. Blom claimed he felt Levi had ace-king and opted to go for the flip. Levi held the 
though and this wasn't going to be a flip with Blom holding the 
.
The board ran out 
and Blom sent over the chips.
Dan Fleyshman is 300k better off thanks to a nuts-bringing river and Darren Woods. He'd raised preflop to 8k, and Woods on his immediate left raised to 27k. It folded back to Fleyshman who made the call and saw on the flop. He bet out almost before the final card had been smoothed out by the dealer (30k), and Woods called him.
On the turn - 
- Fleyshman bet a chunk of a tower (which turned out to be 50k) and again got a call from Woods. On the 
river he bet another tower of 5k chips, but this time Woods announced, "All in," getting a call so speedy he knew what was coming - the 
giving Fleyshman the nut flush.
Woods made a noise like, "Aargh," but that was the only sign of irritation he gave as he dropped to 220k raising Fleyshman to 600k in the process.
Commenting on his own relentless betting, Fleyshman said, "I just kept firing with...the dream," or words that sounded just like that.
