Seat 3: Seth Davies (USA) - 740,000
Seth Davies, who hails from Bend, Oregon, doesn’t play many high rollers, but don’t let that fool you as he’s quite the accomplished player. Since 2010, he has won $1,424,570 playing live tournaments, which includes a career-best $575,000 for finishing runner-up to Jason Koon in last year’s Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Championship.
In April of last year, Davies became a World Poker Tour champion when he won the partypoker.net WPT Canadian Spring Championship at the Playground Poker Club, good for $203,992. Earlier this year, he also finished 12th in the Aussie Millions Main Event, which came with a $117,061 payday.
As far as High Rollers go, Davies did finish third in April’s ARIA $25K High Roller 56 for $93,600. Davies didn’t play any of the prelim events, so he’ll need to win and hope some of his other opponents fall short in order to capture The Poker Masters Purple Jacket?.
