Paul Senat, 37, placed 70th and earned $101,444 in the Main Event, according to WSOP records. He is accused by Florida deputies of killing a man inside a Florida nightclub April 21. Senat, an investor in the club, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of manslaughter with a deadly weapon.
Senat is accused of shooting
Darryl Rudolph, 55, inside Sugar Daddy’s Adult Cabaret in West Palm Beach, according to a Palm Beach County sheriff ’s office affidavit.
Senat posted a $35,000 bond and was released from jail April 26, the day after he was booked.
Deputies found Rudolph, a handyman at the club and the father of Florida State University football player Travis Rudolph, bleeding from the neck about 9:25 p.m., according to local news reports. He died the next day.
An arrest affidavit said Senat grabbed an AK-47 from a shelf and pulled the trigger, sending a bullet through a wall and into the next room, where it struck Rudolph. The document said Senat told deputies he didn’t realize he’d fired the gun. The safety wasn’t engaged, deputies said.
It was unclear whether Senat was subject to travel restrictions, Florida court officials said Monday. Attempts to reach Senat’s attorney were unsuccessful.
