Scott Fischman (born 1981 in Langhorne, Pennsylvania) is an American professional poker player based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Fischman grew up in South Jersey and moved to Las Vegas at the age of 12. He was introduced to poker by a schoolfriend and went on to become a poker dealer at the Sahara and the Mirage. At the 2004 World Series of Poker (WSOP) he became the youngest person ever to win two WSOP bracelets. At the age of 23 he won one at no limit hold'em and the other at H.O.R.S.E.. He is well known for the statement "Doyle busted my ass!" while consoling with Brett Jungblut after Doyle Brunson knocked him out of the 2004 main event. Scott had gone all-in with ace-king while Doyle had pocket kings. Previous segments of the World Series of Poker episode had shown Doyle beating Fischman in many pots.
Fischman is known as a member of the poker-playing group "The Crew," which also includes Russ "Dutch" Boyd, Bobby Boyd, David Smyth, Joe Bartholdi Jr, Tony Lazar and Brett Jungblut. (Jungblut and Bartholdi have both since left the group.)
In 2004 he defeated Joe Cassidy to win the World Poker Tour (WPT) Young Guns of Poker invitational event.
In 2005 he came close to capturing a third WSOP bracelet when he finished 2nd to Allen Cunningham in the $1,500 no-limit hold'em event.
Fischman has competed in and served as a guest commentator for the Ultimate Poker Challenge. As "emptyseat88", he plays on numerous online poker cardrooms, including his own site The Fish Tank. In May 2006 he became a consultant for InterPoker.com.
As of 2006, his total live tournament winnings exceed $1,480,000.
