He must be the real deal..final tabled WPT, WSOP main event and now a bracelet..all in a two yr span..

Played some cash games with Scott in New orleans back in May of 09 seemed like a real good guy. I would like to congratulate him on another sick finish.

From the cutoff seat, John Dolan opened the with a 135,000-chip raise. In the small blind, Scott Montgomery re-popped it to 300,000. Dolan moved all in and Montgomery tanked, asked for a count and eventually called.

Showdown
Dolan: AcKc
Montgomery: KdQh

Flop: J42hhh flush draw for Montgomery;

Turn: 4c Dolan still in the lead;

River: Th Flush for the Canadian!

Scott Montgomery is now up to 3,200,000 chips, and Dolan is down to 165,000.


seems pretty withered for a CL pot, this should have been JRD's bracelet

spewed main event tho

scott montgomery is trash
jus bc u win two tournys doesnt make u good lol
not sure he got it in good one time at that final table
he jus won all his allins
and thats how a lot of guys do it nowadays

Gotta love min 3ballin the KQ and then not knowing what to do when you get the pile..eh just call off another million +, hes gotta have KJ...he tilts me how bad he plays seriously

And he is a hell of a nice person to meet...one of the nicest I have met to date. Actually met him at the FT 2008 during dinner break. For everything that was going on (literally the middle of the FT), he was the nicest, most humble person I ever met with having that much on the line. I am glad to see he is doing well...he deserves it!

Mick Carlson....2nd place finisher.....reported multiple times on his twitter at how bad Scott was playing........congrats either way, never played with him so idk

I met him at The Wynn the march after his wsop me final table. he got moved to my table with a huge stack mid way through the day. i had remembered my impressions of him from the wsop broadcasts to be slightly unfavorable. However he was very friendly in person, at first. He was out going, would answer questions, joke around, laugh at himself...etc...

He was playing super lag, and had definitely crossed the line into spewy. It was pretty clear that if you have 2nd pair, you should c/c your stack. Scott had doubled one guy two or three times w/ air vs. tptk and the guy had pulled even with scott in chips. scott wasn't hurting though b/c he had 2 huge suckouts. It was becoming clear that scotts mood was changing with his chipstack though. and he probably had 1/4 of all the ante chips in play. when he had a lot of chips he was in great spirits, but when he lost a pot he would have a cutting remark.

Finally scott and the other guy played a monster pot. Scott 3bet the turn w/ air and the other big stack tanked, then 4bet jammed. scott was clearly pissed, muttering under his breath, and then made the call w/ 3rd pair 8kicker while only gettin 2.2:1 on a 130k pot at 4-800. Obv scott lost, and when it became clear that he was just outchipped, he toppled his entire mountain of ante chips all over the table and stormed off. it took the dealer and the floor 15min to sort out the stacks after he threw his stacks into other peoples and knocked down some other towers. it was by far one of the most classless acts ive seen at the poker table.

i understand i may have caught him on a bad day, but i think it is more likely that the majority of people that have met him once and see him favorably, experienced the side of him that i saw in the first 2hrs he was at my table. had my table broken then, i would have left with the impression that he was a good guy - fun and good spirited.

Wow that's funny...you have to remember to I met him for just a few moments. I could read a first impression as bad as a hand though :)

I met Scott after his wsop FT, hes the biggest POS scrubinni scum bag.......

Everyone plays "right or wrong" according to most top online NLEH players. There are ways to combat optimal strategy by playing with methods that are counterintuitive to logical strategies....

good point, but doubt any top player min 3 bets turn to 12k and leaves themself with 7k and folds like that...that hand is awesome...
