Poker Players Favor Scott Montgomery 2-to-1 to Win the World Series of Poker (WSOP)
NEW YORK, Jul 31, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Scott Montgomery is the overwhelming choice to win the World Series of Poker (WSOP), according to a new DuplicatePoker.com poll. Twenty-nine percent of 1106 poker players surveyed named Canadian Scott Montgomery by a more than a 2-to-1 margin over the rest of the November Nine WSOP finalists. Ivan Demidov (Russia) and chip leader Illinois-resident Dennis Phillips, already seated in position one at the Final Table with 26 million chips, were named by 13 and 12 percent respectively as the expected runners-up. Montgomery also was voted the most skilled of the WSOP finalists and the most likely to win a Duplicate Poker tournament.
The Duplicate Poker Poll also revealed the widespread believe among poker players that skill has everything to do with poker success. Nearly 90 percent said skill has a greater impact on poker success than luck.
