Hailing out of New York, New York, Scott Baumstein is a 27-year old former options trader who obtained his Master's of Finance degree from NYU.
Making his first WSOP final table appearance after besting Nicholas Mitchell heads-up, Baumstein has three previous WSOP cashes including two consecutive Main Event cashes; but this here will be his biggest WSOP score to date.
Baumstein however has tasted success previously with a win at the PCA $5,000 Heads-Up Championship earlier this year for $120,000, but as is the desire for everybody that ventures to Las Vegas, a shiny gold bracelet will be his preferred trophy cabinet highlight if he is to be victorious here.
