2008 WSOP November Niner Scott Montgomery Building Early

With about 3,000 in the pot, on a board reading , Jean Francois Bouchard led out for 1,000 from late position and Scott Montgomery called from the cutoff.

The river was the and Bouchard led out for 1,400 this time. Montgomery wasn't letting up and called again. Bouchard tabled for two pair eights and threes, but it was no good as Montgomery tabled for two pair nines and eights to scoop the pot.

Montgomery finished in 5th place in the 2008 $10,000 World Series of Poker Main Event for just over $3 million and has amassed $4.7 million in recorded cashes. He locked up a bracelet at the 2010 WSOP in the $1,000 event for $480,000 and has two other wins in smaller events.

The bracelet winner has been known to travel to many of the Canadian poker stops, quietly building stacks and going deep in some of the biggest events in the world. Montgomery started the year by final-tabling an event at Seminole Hardrock, followed by a 13th place finish in the $5,300 partypoker MILLIONS event right here at Playground in May. He then had a successful summer with an 18th place finish in the Monster Stack at the WSOP ($47,353) followed by a 4th place finish at the WPT500 at Aria for $85,000.

There is certainly no shortage of talent here in Canada, so keep your eyes peeled for some great poker this series!
