Richard Seymour — the former Patriot and Raider defensive end who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2022 — is (as of publishing this) still alive at the 2023 World Series of Poker Main Event.
He’s been at the Main Event before, using his Super Bowl ring to stack on his chips and playing pretty well in years past.
And he’s doing REALLY well in 2023, knocking out not one but TWO players as the money bubble approaches. Those two other players went all in and Seymour called with King-Queen. A Queen came out on the turn, but it was his King of Hearts that appeared to get him a flush.

There was also this televised hand in which he went back and forth with Stephen Chidwick before the flop. Seymour went all in with his Kings and Chidwick’s Queens were taken down:
