	Athletes - Huck Seed

Huck Seed (born 1969?) is an American professional poker player.

Seed was an electrical engineering student at Caltech, but took a leave of absence in 1989, started playing poker, and never returned to college.

Seed won the 1996 World Series of Poker (WSOP) main event, and the $1,000,000 first prize. He made the final table of the 1999 WSOP event, but finished 6th (eventual champion Noel Furlong eliminated him).

Seed is often considered intimidating because of his height at 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) and the fact that he rarely speaks at the table. An avid proposition gambler, Huck, or "Huckleberry", as he sometimes likes to be called, once lost $10,000 on a prop bet with Phil Hellmuth, that he could float in any body of water for 24 hours straight. He then went on to win $24,000 back from Hellmuth by playing 9 Ball at $2,000 a game.

As of 2005, his total live tournament winnings exceed $2,500,000. He has 4 WSOP bracelets.
