Seda1, the mysterious online poker player who has been battling it out with Phil Ivey in the largest cash games online lately at Full Tilt Poker, has finally been identified - at least that’s the speculation coming out of Poker King and 2+2 recently.

PK ran a story yesterday based largely on a 2+2 thread that identified seda1 as Shawn Sedaghat. Excerpt:

It seems as though the true identity of “seda1″ is likely to be Shawn Sedaghat.

Sedaghat is a wealthy businessman who has been known to play in some high-stakes poker games. He reportedly took millions of dollars off of Ron Meyer, long-time head of Universal Studios, according to this article.

Sedaghat won $29,925 at the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event, which is the only cash that I can find to his name.

Sedaghat was formerly the President and Chief Executive Officer of Seda Specialty Packaging until the company was purchased by CCL Industries, Inc. on June 16, 1997. SEC Document here

This hand you're dealt AQo UTG and you decide to limp. The button limps and both blinds play. You flop top pair:

The SB leads out for $6. The BB folds. You make it $24 and the button folds. The SB calls. The turn gives you two pair with the Ac. The SB checks and you pop $40 into $54. The SB flat calls.
