Scott Fischman was born in Langhorne, Pennsylvania in 1980 and moved to
Las Vegas in 1992. Once in Vegas, Scott caught the poker bug and began
playing with his friends as often as possible. Scott worked as a dealer
at the Mirage as soon as he turned 21, and claims dealing was a major
factor in improving his overall game. In Scott's first major tournament
he placed fourth and has been finding himself consistently in the money
ever since. Scott is one of a group of six young players (all born
after 1980) that call themselves "The Crew" and made a name for
themselves by winning three bracelets at the 2004 WSOP - Fischman being
responsible for two of them.
Scott Fischman's accomplishments in
his first three years of tournament play are impressive, with over 30
money finishes including: Two first place finishes in the 2004 WSOP in
the $1,500 No Limit Hold 'em event and the $2,000 H.O.R.S.E. event
worth $420,000 combined and 5th place in the 2005 National Heads-Up
Poker Championship worth $75,000. Recently, Scott defended his title in
the $1,500 NLHE event at the 2005 WSOP and took 2nd place, but actually
received more money this year since the entry field of 2,305 players
made for a much bigger prize pool - what a difference a year makes in
tournament poker. You can find out more about Scott Fischman at his
