[edit] Trivia

  • Sebok considers his best friends in poker to be Tuan Le, Nam Le, Liz Lieu and Mimi Tran.
  • Sebok made a bet with Gavin Smith over who would win the most Card Player Player of the Year points during hold'em events at the 2006 World Series of Poker (WSOP). The loser had to wear a different costume on each day of the Main Event. Neither made a final table, but Smith accumulated more points for the victory. Sebok wore a bear costume with a diaper on day 1B of the main event [1]. Although he was eliminated on the first day, Sebok was required to show up for each of the other Day One sessions in costumes chosen by Smith. In addition to the bear costume, he also appeared as Spider-Man and Wonder Woman.
  • A fan of rock 'n' roll, Sebok was the founding drummer of San Francisco instrumental trio, Parker Street Cinema.
  • Sebok co-stars with Gavin Smith on a show called "Prop Bets" on the Internet-TV site RawVegas.tv, mainly thanks to the above-mentioned prop bet at the 2006 WSOP.
