Former NFL Star Richard Seymour Eliminated After Calling Off with King High
On an 
flop, Massimo De Mario checked from the big blind and former New England Patriot and Oakland Raider Richard Seymour checked behind in the hijack to see a 
turn.
De Mario led out for 15,000, Seymour raised to 35,000, and De Mario called, which brought about the 
on the river.
De Mario returned to checking and Seymour bet 33,000, which left him around 90,000 back. De Mario then woke up with an all-in check-raise, and the pressure was on Seymour as the cameras swarmed.
Seymour made some comments suggesting he thought De Mario was weak. "I might call with this hand," he said.
More than 90 seconds passed before Seymour tossed in a chip to call and then rolled over the 
for king high.
He was right that De Mario was weak, but unfortunately for him the Italian had actually paired up on the river with the 
.
The hero call didn't pay off for Seymour and he was officially eliminated from the 2017 PokerStars Championship Bahamas.
