Scott was old school online player as well that apparently got poker stars to start the supernova elite program. I believe he even worked for stars

Assuming it's the same Scotty Yeates, yeah he worked for Stars in the VIP department for a number of years and then moved to Ultimate Poker in NV until it closed. Sad stuff.


He looks familiar, I must have played with him or met him thru Ultimate Poker in NV.

His picture on Linkedin looks a lot different, but I guess it is him.

I had the same thought, he used to post here all the time mostly in the SNE threads and his avatar was a picture of himself so I think that's why he looks familiar to me

had no idea who this was until i saw his 2p2 name and icon. he was a face of pokerstars on 2p2 for years.


Tragic.


Shocking, but yet not so shocking for Vegas, but sad. All I know is if you’re a 60+ male and need to live with another 60+ male roommate, something has gone horribly wrong in life.


No he moved in as a favor to Keith. Keith was in very bad shape . In a wheelchair and lots of doctors appointments etc.


final word from pokersesh. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DW9hqVKge...


I knew Scotty through UP . We became friends had him and his wife over for dinner. Later found out he gave my s/n out to several people on the site and that was the end of our relationship. Always seemed like a good guy until he outed me. I know he divorced his wife several years after UP closed up. Still in shock over this
