Scott Montgomery
- Age: 26
- Hometown: Perth, Ontario, Canada
- Final Table Finish: 5th place
- Prize Money: Over $3 million
Scott’s amazing run during the 2008 Main Event was capped off by a 5th place finish good for more than $3 million in prize money. Coming into the final table, he had nearly 20 million in chips and was looking to make a move to win his first bracelet.
Scott’s Main Event came to an end when he pushed all-in with A-3. He was called by a player holding pocket 6s, and though he managed to hit an Ace on both the flop and turn, a 6 fell on the river to eliminate him from the tournament.

"My first passion has always been poker."
Kelly Kim entered the final table of the 2008 Main Event as the classic underdog. He was short-stacked with just under 3 million in chips, but that wasn’t going to stop him from waiting for the right hand to push all-in with.
And wait he did, using his patience to move up another spot on the payout ladder. Kelly was finally forced to push all-in when most of his chips were committed to the big blind, but was unable to win the hand and stay alive. He finished in 8th place and won over $1.25 million.
