The truth is that Scott has played very well to win this tournament and the bracelet, in addition to connecting all the cards he proposed, he deployed a very solvent and aggressive game and if it accompanies him luck was almost unstoppable, a fair winner.

With his huge chip lead at the final table this was the most likely outcome. But even then, the tourney must still be won. So congratulations to Scott Blumstein for winning the tourney and the bracelet.

A first time that someone played the main event, and took it down. To riches from just one tournament. And at least in this photo, we can see the winner with all the money stacked on the table. Its not only a pic with the winner and the bracelet Thats how the photos should be

Yes towin $8 millions from buyin of 10,000 is very very big money and now he can easy stop working and enjoy life. I can only dream about what I could buy for so much money, maybe a few houses in very beautiful places, a yacht, change some cars and of course invest some money to keep it growing

Gratz to the new WSOP champion of the Year 2017! What a dream to win the bracelet from the main event and a cash prize over 8 million $$$. Perhaps we hear more about this player in the next future, but to win the main event at the first time was great for him.

Nothing to object to this fair winner of the maint event wsop 2017. Surprised I was left with the news that of the $ 8,000,000 I earn for the first place charges only about 4,000,000 for the discount corresponding to the current law in his country.-

fifty fifty receives the American tax from that money? This is inadmissible. The governors are thieves. Steal too much
There was something about what I thought ... it was difficult to imagine that a person with such an advantage in chips can eventually give up the title ... I congratulate him and all his fans .... as well as the 888poker he represents

I just watched the replays of the final table of the 2017 World Series of Poker Main Event. Scott Blumstein audaciously firing three barrels with king-high against Dan Ott — that was probably the most memorable moment in this year's event.
