Joueur professionnel de poker, Scott Blumstein n'a pas disputé les 72 premiers tournois des World Series Of Poker 2017. Focalisé sur l'amélioration de son jeu et l'envie d'arriver au top physiquement et mentalement, il n'avait coché que le Main Event à 10.000$ !
Blumstein, 25 ans, s'est donc imposé dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche au Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino. Il a dominé son compatriote Dan Ott en heads-up pour remporter le bracelet et un premier prix de 8,15 millions de dollars ! "Je suis encore sous le choc, j'avais pensé que j'allais m'écrouler à la fin. C'est la meilleure sensation du monde, je ne peux pas décrire mon émotion avec mots", a indiqué le sucesseur de Qui Nguyen.
Avec deux tiers des jetons en début de HU, Blumstein a vu son adversaire progressivement revenir. Ott a même doublé sur un flip... quelques mains avant de rendre les armes. Blumstein limp-shove avec 
après la relance de Ott en grosse blinde, ce dernier tanke avant de payer avec 
!
Le tableau 
permet à Blumstein de l'emporter alors que son adversaire serait clairement revenu dans la course au titre en remportant ce 70-30 !
Alors que Blumstein s'écroule au sol à l'apparition de cette rivière, son rail explose. "Il n'y a pas de meilleure manière de remporter le Main Event qu'avec un 3-outers à la rivière. Un deux venu du néant a changé ma vie. Je me préparais déjà pour jouer du poker à 40 blindes mais cette carte a changé l'histoire", a commenté le gagnant.
Ott tentera de se consoler avec 4,7 millions de dollars. "Les jetons ne sont pas allés chez moi sur la fin, les cartes non plus n'étaient pas pour moi. Mais bon, deuxième sur le troisième plus gros Main Event de l'histoire, je ne vais pas me plaindre", a indiqué le runner-up américain avant de se projeter sur l'avenir : "Je vais pouvoir jouer les tournois que je souhaite et je reviendrais l'an prochain. C'était une expérience incroyable, rien n'égalera jamais ça. Je vais continuer à joueur et la prochaine fois je tenterais de l'emporter".

Le Main Event des World Series of Poker 2017 a rassemblé 7221 joueurs, le plus gros field depuis la victoire de Jonathan Duhamel en 2010. 27 Français sont entrés dans l'argent d'un tournoi où Blumstein est arrivé aux avant-postes lors du Jour 3. Un Jour 3 qu'il a terminé en 8e position au classement provisoire. Dès lors, l'Américain n'a jamais quitté le Top 50 du leaderboard...
Il est arrivé en Table Télévisée au Jour 7 et s'est montré sous un jour favorable pour arriver en position de chipleader en Table Finale. Il a ensuite mis tout le monde d'accord en remportant un pot énorme contre John Hesp.
L'élimination du Britannique avait marqué la fin de la deuxième partie de la finale, une finale où Antoine Saout s'est classé 5e, lui qui avait déjà terminé 3e en 2009. Le plan à 3 terminal s'est joué dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche et Blumstein n'a jamais lâché son avance.
Il a fallu trois heures de jeu pour qu'une main implique les trois joueurs. Avec 15 blindes, Ben Pollak pousse du bouton avec 
et Ott pousse lui aussi ses 20 blindes avec 
... Blumstein trouve alors 
en bb et paye pour mettre tout le monde en danger !
Le tableau 
permet à Ott de se relancer et sonne le glas des espoirs de Benjamin Pollak...
It was an insane run overall ! Thank you to all of you for the support ! You're rock ! Huge Gl to Scott and Dan for the world champion title

"Il y a deux semaines j'étais un grinder du New Jersey et rien n'a changé. J'ai de l'argent et je vais probablement jouer un peu plus en live mais je ne vais pas me baser sur les buy-ins des tournois pour y participer, il faudra que cela me plaise", a assuré le champion.
"L'argent n'est pas la motivation première, ce n'est pas ce qui me pousse. Je n'avais pas envie de gagner pour les 8 millions... même si évidemment la liberté que cela va me procurer est appréciable. Le but c'était d'arriver au point ou je peux faire ce que je veux. Je pense que désormais je vais avoir des opportunités de choisir ce que je veux, que cela soit dans le poker, les affaires. J'ai même la liberté de retourner à l'école... c'est le rêve américain d'avoir le choix", a terminé Blumstein

Hand #246: Scott Blumstein limped in on the button and Dan Ott raised to 8 million. Blumstein moved all in, putting Ott to the test for his remaining 55.5 million chips. Ott went into the tank and called after about a minute.
Dan Ott:
Scott Blumstein:
Ott was the player at risk, but he was well ahead with a bigger kicker than Blumstein.
The flop came and Ott remained ahead, along with finding two under cards to lessen the chance of a chop with Blumstein.
The turn was the and Ott picked up a straight draw.
The river was the and Blumstein's rail erupted as he hit a miracle card to lock up the pot and win the 2017 World Series of Poker Main Event.
Ott headed to the rail to be with his supporters, and is the runner-up for $4.7 million in his first-ever Main Event.
An extensive recap will follow shortly, along with a winner interview and reactions from the runner-up.
In the meantime, PokerNews caught up with Ott, who shared his thoughts on the day.
"I lost some big pots early so my strategy was to keep playing my game — the same game I’ve been playing for 15 days now. At the end the chips didn’t go my way. The cards didn’t go my way. But I got second place in the third largest Main Event ever. I can’t complain about that."
When asked about his thought process on the king-nine hand that knocked Benjamin Pollak out in third place, he had this to say:
"I started making a few light shoves. I thought it was an alright hand. It might have been a bit too loose but I went for it and happened to win it."
Heads up play didn't go Ott's way, as Blumstein dominated most of it. For Ott, it was simply a matter of the cards.
"I wasn’t getting any cards heads up if you see the broadcast you’ll see that. I tried with what I had and I can’t complain at all."
As far as what this big score means for Ott down the road?
"I’ll definitely be able to play a lot more tournaments. I’m going to come back next year for sure. It was an amazing experience. I’ll never pass this up again. Just keep playing, and try to win next time."
He spoke to Sarah after the last hand was dealt.
