ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) — Nearly a year ago, it appeared as though Altoona resident Dan Ott had changed his life forever.

At just 25 years old, he made it through thousands of competitors to make the World Series of Poker’s final table and outlasted seven more players there to finish as the runner-up.

Ott’s prize was $4.7 million, but when he bought his plane ticket back in early May to Las Vegas for this year’s World Series that kicked off Tuesday, May 29, it was one of the bigger purchases he’s made with his winnings.

“Life has definitely changed but nothing dramatic,” Ott said. “I’m more comfortable with money. I bought some new clothes and got a new haircut, that’s about it.”

Ott also took a pair of trips to Mexico, but as far as new millionaires, he’s played it pretty conservative.

Now 26, Ott is still living in Altoona and has played sparingly in live tournaments over the past year while still grinding at least 20 hours a week in online play.

He’s planning on playing in several of the 78 events at this year’s World Series, including most of the no-limit Texas Hold ’Em tournaments. Despite his success last year, he’s still opting to avoid big-money buy-ins such as the events that require $100,000 just to enter.

Though he’s already achieved more than most do in the sport, he is motivated to win his first tournament on poker’s biggest stage.

“To win a bracelet (the prize, along with cash, for each event) would be pretty cool,” Ott said. “I want to play as much as I can. It’s important, but if I don’t, it is not going to ruin me. A couple thousand people enter each of those tournaments, so they aren’t exactly easy to win. I’m assuming if I play for another 10 years, I’ll win one.”

Ott said his poker career will depend on a few different factors, but he plans on doing it for the foreseeable future.

“How long I play depends on how my investments go,” Ott said. “It also depends on how the landscape of poker goes. I’ll probably keep playing unless I make more money than I would ever need. I’m assuming I’ll always play poker at some level.”

When the Main Event begins on July 2, there’s a good chance Ott will find himself back on the national television stage. ESPN tends to showcase past Main Event Final Table players during its broadcasts, and there’s always a chance Ott and last year’s champion Scott Blumstein could be paired up at a table.

“I’ve seen (Blumstein) a few times,” Ott said. “A few months after the Main Event, we were both at Borgata in New Jersey. I saw him in Vegas a few months later at a charity event, but I haven’t played with him at the same table again. Maybe we’ll get that chance in this year’s World Series.”

Making it back into the money would be a big accomplishment and returning to the final nine would be a colossal achievement, he said.

Despite the odds being stacked overwhelmingly against him, there is recent precedent. Two players at last year’s WSOP Main Event Final Table, Ben Lamb and Antoine Saout, had made previous final tables in the event.

“It definitely gives me some hope, because people have done it before,” Ott said. “I have as good of a chance as anybody. It’s not likely, but it’s still a shot.”

One of the things working against Ott will be that he’s no longer a stranger in the crowd of thousands that will take their seat in front of the felt this year.

“I’m recognized by more people,” Ott said. “They know who I am now and how I play. I’m not just an anonymous person like last year. Now, if I go somewhere, they know more about me.”

Ott’s notoriety could mean he is targeted by players hoping to get some national exposure by knocking him out of the tournament. Even Ott’s twin brother, Dillon, expressed interest in the feat.

“I feel like I know him, and I’d play him tough,” Dillon Ott said. “I feel like I’d come out on top if I was at a final table with him. I’d go after him maybe even a little more than I would another player.”

Dillon is one of four or five people planning to stay with Dan Ott in Las Vegas as the World Series takes place.

“I’m going to be playing a lot of tournaments,” Dillon Ott said. “I’m still trying to grind for a big score. Dan is more comfortable now. I’m more in work-mode.”

While Dillon has been looking for that big payday, plenty of people have mistaken him for his twin brother.

“When we go to these tournaments, I’ve dealt with that,” Dillon Ott said. “Since he got his haircut, we look more similar now than ever. So, I get that a lot. People always ask me, even outside the casino, if I’m the one who made the Main Event run. I just got stopped in the airport in Charlotte and asked if I was Dan recently.”

Dillon made the point last year that Dan left the door open to one-up him by coming in as runner-up in the WSOP Main Event, and he still thinks about being the first of the brothers to win a bracelet.

“It’s a pretty big motivation to try and out-do him,” Dillon Ott said. “I want to try to do anything I can to relive that and get back there, but whether it’s me or him, it’s something we both want for each other.”

If you see the Ott brothers on television this poker season, it’s likely you’ll see Dan in his signature hoodie he used to cover his mouth and hide any tells he may have revealed in last year’s tournament.

“It’s always really cold in the casino,” Dan Ott said. “I’ll probably be wearing it every day I’m there.”

Same old hoodie for a man who is still just playing the game he’s studied and loved since junior high, even if he now has a few extra million in the bank.

“It’s been pretty crazy, but it almost still hasn’t hit me,” Ott said. “I’m still kind of in shock because I still haven’t done anything crazy with the money. Maybe if I buy something else, something crazy, it will hit me.”

PA Online Poker Sites

PokerStars PA is the best online poker site to offer real money games in Pennsylvania.

You can play legal real money online poker games in Pennsylvania from November 4, 2019.

That day, industry-leader PokerStars celebrated the first-ever 'shuffle up and deal of their PA-focused poker site.

888poker and partypoker are also expected to launch an online poker site in Pennsylvania in 2020 to compete with their arch-rival.

The opening of more PA online poker sites like 888poker PA and partypoker PA represents a great opportunity for all PA poker players.

More competition between international giants like these three is sure to result in great online events, synergies between online and offline operations and (why not) all great PA poker bonuses.

Here's a recap of the best PA online poker sites available to play real money poker games in Pennsylvania right now:

PokerStars Pennsylvania

PokerStars is the only poker site authorised to offer real money poker games to PA players.

This is the only PA poker site where you play free games to win real money (freeroll tournaments), play all the most popular poker variants, and experience international hits like PokerStars' Spin and Go tournaments.

When you register to play online poker games in PA on PokerStars, you get:

• An excellent bonus package with tickets to play Spin and Go tournaments
• A bonus match bonus on your first deposit
• The best customer support service in the industry
• Unlimited access to the only online legal poker games in PA

PokerStars PA has seen well over 600 players activate an account during the first night of action alone — with that number growing ever since.

The games on PokerStars PA are ring-fenced. Pennsylvania gambling laws do not allow the PA online poker sites to share liquidity (and player pool) with any of the poker sites in NJ, Delaware, and Nevada.

PokerStars' PA online poker site is operated in cooperation with the Mount Airy Casino Resort, the brands' partner in the State.

Games and Tournaments on PokerStars PA

Since this is the only legal poker site in Pennsylvania, PokerStars PA is where you find all the best online games.

The PokerStars PA poker client features an extensive offer of both cash games and poker tournaments.

Cash Games on PokerStars PA

The ring action reaches its peak in the evening when PokerStars PA continues to register the highest number of active players at its tables.

The cash games feature stakes that start at $0.01/$0.02 and go all the way up to $25/$50.

While not many PA poker players can afford the $25/$50 tables, you get a lot of action when you join the $1/$2 NLH games.

The majority of players on PokerStars PA are on the site to play no-limit hold'em games. However, this poker site also features a great range of other options, including:

• Limit Hold'em
• Omaha
• Seven-Card Stud
• H.O.R.S.E
• Razz
• 2-7 Triple Draw

Online Tournaments on PokerStars PA

As a tournament player, you are going to love the offering and the tournament calendar that PokerStars has planned to become the top online poker site in Pennsylvania.

The offer of no-limit hold'em is great and so are some of the guaranteed prizes available every day.

Some of the top daily events run by PokerStars in Pennsylvania include tournaments like the Hot Turbos, the KO Fever, the Moonlight Express, and the Nightly Stars.

You can also enjoy some Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, and Stud poker action with the Change Up daily events.

But the daily guaranteed multi-table online poker tournaments are events where everyone end up, sooner or later.

The Sunday Majors on PokerStars PA

Now that online poker is legal in PA you can join your share of weekend actions with PokerStars' legendary Sunday poker tournaments.

The Sunday Majors are the best poker tournaments in PA. There you find the most exciting action and, of course, the best real money prizes.

The Sunday action at PokerStars PA begins with the $8,500 GTD Sunday Warm-Up, a $50 buy-in event starting at 4 p.m., and leads to the $500 buy-in Sunday Special, the marquee event of the day where the players compete for a guarantee of $15,000.

PA Online Tournament Series

PokerStars brings to Pennsylvania poker players also some of their most successful annual online tournament series.

This is the site where you find massive multiplayer events like the Pennsylvania Spring Championship of Online Poker (PASCOOP), the Pennsylvania Championship of Online Poker (PACOOP), and the Summer Series.

Keep visiting PokerNews.com to know more about these events and their online qualifiers as the respective schedules are released.

888poker Pennsylvania

888holdings is expected to launch their own 888poker PA poker site shortly after PokerStars.

The 888poker PA website will be the result of a cooperation between 888poker/WSOP.com and Harrah’s Casino.

The fact 888 and WSOP.com might merge their player pools could lead to their product being the one with the highest number of active players in Pennsylvania.

However, we do not have an official date for the launch of 888poker PA.

Back in September, 888poker's Head of Commercial DevelopmentYaniv Sherman announced that the company intended to adopt a 'selective approach' to online poker in Pennsylvania and would launch a new product in the state 'as soon as possible.'

Sherman mentioned PA's tax and fee regime as the main reason why the company decided to take a more cautionary approach and intended to work closely with their partners Harrah's and WSOP.com to make sure a jump in the PA online poker market would be as cost-efficient as possible.

partypoker Pennsylvania

partypoker is also expected to join the race and compete for a share of the market contended by the other PA poker sites.

GVC's online poker site intends to enter Pennsylvania in partnership with the Valley Forge Casino.

Like in the case of 888poker, we have yet to receive the official date of partypoker's launch in Pennsylvania.

Other Pennsylvania Poker Sites

PokerStars, 888poker, and partypoker are not the only companies that have decided to shape Pennsylvania's online poker market.

More names in the industry have decided to secure a license to offer real money poker games online to PA players, and so we can only expect other Pennsylvania poker sites to launch soon.

The list of companies that hold a license to launch poker sites in Pennsylvania includes:

• SugarHouse Poker
• Harrah's Poker
• Hollywood Casino Poker
• Mount Airy Poker
• Parx Poker
• Valley Forge Poker
• Wind Creek Poker
