Mark “The Shark” Seif (pronounced “Safe”), dubbed so for his super aggressive and cunning style of play, worked as a Prosecutor for the DA’s Office in Los Angeles before his career in poker started. In recent years, the poker media has re-named the poker superstar and now he is often referred to as Mark “un” Seif, for his unpredictable and no holes barred power plays. One thing is for sure, when it comes to Mark’s table image, one can safely say, there is nothing safe about it.
His attention was first brought to the game of poker at the age of seven, years before making a name for himself by taking 4th in the World Poker Tour’s 2002, Legends of Poker event. The hit show’s first season was filled with poker giants that suddenly became known to the rest of the world and Mark’s public pesona sky-rocketed as a fan favorite.
Since then he’s won two World Series of Poker Bracelets, the 2005 US Poker Championship in 7 Stud, taken several major titles, and earned his place among the superstars of the poker world. Seif, who will be a commentator for the Professional Poker Tour upon its airing, currently resides in Las Vegas, NV.
Mark Seif (born October 4, 1967) is an American attorney and professional poker player from Las Vegas, Nevada.
