Seidel Enters Elite Club with 10th Bracelet
Seidel’s Super High Roller victory at WSOP Paradise is another significant achievement for the Hall of Famer, especially as he had not won any live bracelet since 2017. His latest win further establishes his reputation as being among poker’s cream of the crop with 10 gold bracelets, joining Johnny Chan, Phil Ivey, and the late Doyle Brunson.
