British Amateur Beats Top Names at World Poker Finals

A remarkable success story has seen Sean Scott, a small business owner from Hull in the United Kingdom, finish 50th out of 783 entrants at the World Poker Finals at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. Scott�s success means he will return home from America $14,000 (�8,000) richer.

Scott outlasted many of the top names in poker including 2004 World Series Of Poker champion Greg Raymer and last year�s Foxwoods winner, Tuan Le. Scott said of his unheralded performance, �I�m still buzzing. I just concentrated on doing the best I could and not being intimidated by the situation or the players I was facing. I�m very grateful to World Poker Tour and will continue playing at WPTonline.com.�

Scott, who owns a tattoo parlour in Hull, qualified for the World Poker Finals after winning a WPTonline.com tournament. He beat over 500 other players in the online tournament to win the trip to Foxwood - his entry into the competition was free thanks to an entry token he received upon signing up to WPTonline.com.
