World Series of Poker -- Scott Montgomery Wins Event No. 36Montgomery Wins First Bracelet and $481,760 |
|
Scott Montgomery was commonly associated with being one of the players at the inaugural “November Nine” back in 2008. After Wednesday’s performance, Montgomery can now be associated with being one of the owners of a coveted WSOP gold bracelet.
Montgomery won his first career bracelet and took home $481,760 when he won event no. 36, the $1,000 no-limit hold’em.
When the final table started, Montgomery was near the bottom of the chip counts. He stayed relatively quiet early on and let a few players get eliminated, while chipping up a few hundred thousand chips. Then, he got into a big confrontation with John Dolan with six players remaining.
After Dolan raised to 125,000, Montgomery three-bet to 300,000. Dolan then moved all-in and Montgomery eventually made the call and there was 3,200,000 chips in the middle. Dolan had A-K and Montgomery was at risk with K-Q. After the flop came jack-high and all hearts, Montgomery had a live flush draw, which he hit on the river to vault from worst to first in chips.
Montgomery hovered around that same 3,200,000 stack until it got down to three-handed. Play started off slow, but then all of a sudden in a span of 45 minutes, Montgomery knocked off Adam Richardson and Mick Carlson to take home the bracelet.
Montgomery joins Eric Buchman on the list of former November Nine members to win their first bracelet this year.
