Queen High Good

Solid Seymour

You don't have to always hit your draws, just ask Bill Seymour (Greenville, NC), who's opponent also misses a flush draw and is eliminated when Seymour wins the 35k pot with queen high.

"We both flopped flush draws," says the 69 year old poker coach, "but I was the one who did all the betting."

Seymour commits more than half his stack and is ecstatic when he sees he has the best hand after calling a reraise shove. Seymour then climbs to 65k by flopping a set of aces on the last hand before dinner break.

"Yeah, I had a real hand this time and I'll show you," as he turns over pocket rockets and adds that he continues to play, "straight forward and solid."

Seymour's well above the chip average as the break continues.
