Nu de November Nine bekend zijn en de WSOP rust enigszins is teruggekeerd druppelen de opmerkelijke verhalen langzaam binnen. Een van die verhalen is het verhaal over Dennis Scott die op dag 5 sneuvelde in het Main Event en daarmee $27.000,- mee naar huis mocht nemen. Niets wereldschokkends tot nu toe, echter had fabrieksopzichter uit het kleine Midland, Michigan zich via Bodog gekwalificeerd voor $1,- (en 10 cent fee niet te vergeten). Een redelijke ROI toch?

De Amerikaanse site FlopTurnRiver sprak met hem:

You turned $1 into $27,000 – how does that make you feel, besides "completely awesome?"

Yeah, one dollar! Pretty great, huh? I won a little money; how can I complain, right? It's pretty amazing. I'm the big talk of the town right now.

You ended up in the money, which is better than the vast majority of players. Are you happy with how you played? What do you think you could have done better?

I think I actually played everything I did right for the most part. When you reach the end, of course, you always see what you did wrong. Me, I'm not a big Ace-King fan and I actually lost on Ace-King and throughout the whole tournament, not once did I go all-in with Ace-King. I was short-stacked and I made the move and lost, so maybe, if I could have done anything different, it would have been to not go in with Ace-King.

Would I do it again? In the same situation, yeah, I'd probably go all-in with Ace-King. The position I was in, I felt good about how I played it. Even when I walked away from there I thought to myself 'Yeah, I did about the best that I could.'

Is this your biggest tournament cash? What other live events have you gotten in on?

Actually, it's my only tournament cash not online. I've played in one other tournament at a casino, but it was nothing like the WSOP. I play in a lot of home games and the like and I get along quite well in them.

So this is your first experience with the WSOP.

It's actually the first time I've ever even tried to play in it.

What advice do you have to other players that might find themselves at the World Series of Poker for the first time?

My biggest advice is to never give up. Both of the first two days I was down, I barely had any chips but I came back on both those days from nothing to having a nice stack and, you know, you've got to keep moving on. You've got to keep playing.
