Full Tilt Poker pro Scott Montgomery collected his first piece of WSOP hardware on Wednesday by succeeding in the $1,000 No Limit Hold’em Event #36. Montgomery, who was once part of the original Full Tilt Poker Referral Code WSOP November Nine in 2008, bested a field of 3,102 players to collect the gold bracelet.

Montgomery admittedly ran scorching just to reach the final table on Tuesday and his burning run of cards continued on the final day. He started the final table eighth in chips, but his attack fueled him to the top of the leaderboard and eventually the $481,760 first prize. Montgomery took an enormous chip lead into Full Tilt Bonus heads-up play against Mick Carlson and sent the Indiana native to the rail in only 15 minutes. On the final hand, a short-stacked Carlson shifted all-in with Kd-2s and Montgomery called with Ad-7h. The board didn’t assist Carlson and he earned $297,996 for his runner-up finish.
