1996 WSOP Main Event

The 1996 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event attracted 295 entries. Six-handed, Seed was second in chips behind John Bonetti, at a final table featuring Men "The Master" Nguyen.

The final table was noted for aggressive play from Seed, Nguyen and Bonetti, but Seed eventually triumphed over Bruce van Horn heads-up to win the $1,000,000 first prize.

"Ever watch the Super Bowl, it��s like that," Seed said about his win. "Look at the guys who win. They go crazy, they��re so happy. I think of poker as a sport. Sometimes it��s hard work, and sometimes it��s not so much fun.

"But when you win something like this, everything is worth it. It��s the same as winning the biggest event in any other sport. You can��t accomplish much more than that."
