Meet Poker's Huckleberry Seed

Huckleberry Seed is a skilled poker player. He was born on January 15, 1969. Huck was raised in Corvallis, Montana and finished his high school diploma at Corvallis High School.

Huck was the top basketball on player on Caltech's varsity team. His exploit was featured in the documentary film Quantum Hoops done in 2006. Huck was also with the Montana All-State 1987 basketball team.

He was taking up electrical engineering at Caltech when he shifted his interest in poker. Huck left college to pursue a career in poker.

His first major victory was in 1996 when he captured the main event at the World Series of Poker and running away with the $1,000,000 top prize. In the 1999 edition of WSOP, Huck reached the final table but finished in 6th place. He was eliminated by Noel Furlong, the eventual champion. Huck also participated at the 2007 World Series of Poker main event but landed poorly at the number 73 in a field of 6358 players.

Many poker players considered Huck as an intimidating player due to his 6ft. 7in. frame. Huck seldom talks at the table. An enthusiastic proposition bettor, Huck once lost $50,000 to Phil Hellmuth on a silly proposition bet that he could last for 18 hours floating in the ocean. Huck lasted just over three hours. Huck later on got back $24,000 from Hellmuth by going to his home in Madison, Wisconsin and beating him to a one-on-one 9 Ball game with a fixed bet of $2,000. Incidentally, Phil Hellmuth - the original "Poker Brat" on one occasion said he believes Huck to be among the best poker players of all-time.

In his duel with Johnny Chan during the 2002 edition of World Series of Poker, Huck dealt the now famous "the hand that will be talked about for years." Johnny Chan put in $20,000 on the flop cards Q 3 2, holding the cards Q 10 of diamonds. Huck threw his entire chips into the central pot, even though he held just a 4 5 hand. Eventually, Chan had almost placed half the chips above the table. Although Huck suffered a big loss, he still landed at 10th place in the final standing.

Seed also played on Poker After Dark poker events hosted by NBC, where he ended runner up to Gus Hansen in the initial tournament of the season.

Currently, Huck has live tournament total winnings that are more than $4,100,000. Huck Seed owns four WSOP bracelets.
