Blumstein defeated Dan Ott in the heads-up stages of the 2017 World Series of Poker Main Event final table.

“I’m still in shock. I thought I would get even more emotional that what I got in real time but it’s just the best feeling, I can’t even put it into words. I’m really happy with how I played tonight, I’m lucky enough to have good resources and hit up a buddy of mine who is really good at heads-up and three-handed poker. We went over what I should do and I was hoping to execute. I think tonight went really well.” – Scott Blumstein
