Scott Montgomery tops poker poll

1 Aug 2008

NEW YORK -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- 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.

Duplicate Poker, one of the fastest growing online poker communities, is a skill-based game that applies the scoring from Duplicate Bridge to Texas Hold'Em. Since players sitting at the same position at different tables are dealt the same cards under the same conditions, Duplicate Poker eliminates the luck of the draw and pits players' true gaming skills against each other.

According to Moshe Davidovich, chief operating officer of DuplicatePoker.com, "The most skilled poker players have the ability to effectively manage a game and rely purely on technique. In this regard, Scott Montgomery stands out. And as our poll indicates, he has gained a high level of respect for his skills among poker circles."
