Seymour is no poker novice, previously winning nearly $500,000 in his poker career, per ESPN's Tim Fiorvanti. He has a long way to go to match his NFL earnings, though, which total $89.5 million over 12 seasons.

The Georgia product retired from the NFL in 2012 after 12 seasons. He played for the Patriots from 2001-08 before finishing his career with the Raiders. Seymour earned three All-Pro honors and won three Super Bowls in New England.
