Scott Fischman Profile

Scott Fischman was born in Langhorne, Pennsylvania in 1981 and lived half of his life in Somers Point, New Jersey. In 1992, Scott moved to Las Vegas where he discovered poker. He was introduced to the game by a former WSOP champion and instantly became hooked. When Scott turned 21 he started dealing poker. He developed Rheumatoid Arthritis after dealing cards for a year at the Mirage, making it too difficult to continue dealing.

At age 23, Scott became the youngest player ever to win two championships. In his first year on the tournament circuit, he was ranked 7th in the world by Card Player Magazine. Scott is also an avid player in online tournaments.
