#5 – Scott Seiver
A native New Yorker now living in Las Vegas, Scott Seiver made a name for himself by winning the 2008 WSOP No-Limit Hold’em event at the age of 23, pocketing $755,756 in the process. He went on to win the $20,500 buy-in High Roller event at the 2010 L.A. Poker Classic, and now has three first place finishes to his name and total poker winnings of $2,175, 839 – and he’s not even 26 yet!
#4 – Scott Fischman
Originally from Pennsylvania, Scott Fischman migrated with his family to Vegas when he was just 12 years old. He became a poker dealer as a young man before becoming the youngest person ever to win two WSOP bracelets in 2004, when he won both a No Limit Hold’em and a H.O.R.S.E tournament. He has 11 cashes at WSOP alone, and now has total poker winnings of $2,634,181.
#3 – Scott Montgomery
The young pro from Perth, Canada, won his first bracelet at the 2010 WSOP $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em event. Finishing in fifth place in 2008, he earned himself a walloping $3,088,012 and now has winnings totaling $4,128,898. Not bad for a guy who hasn’t turned 30 yet.
#2 – Scott Clements
Winning bracelets at the 2006 and 2007 WSOP, this young pro from Washington also hasn’t yet seen his thirtieth birthday. But he’s made a total of £4,353,531 through his talent for poker and shows no sign whatsoever of flagging.
#1 – Scotty Nguyen
The former refugee from South Vietnam was named “Thuan” at birth but since coming to the US aged 14, he’s preferred to be called “Scotty.” A living poker legend, Scotty has won five WSOP bracelets and made himself a handsome fortune, with poker winnings now totaling almost $11 million.
