Winning the Main Event of adu q the World Series of Poker is a life-changing event, but as 2017 champion Scott Blumstein proved, the one playing at the final table doesn't have to be the only one that benefits from the grand prize.

As an ESPN report notes, a few of Blumstein's friends that helped spot his $10,000 entry fee into the tournament are now also huge beneficiaries of his success.

Just a few weeks before the start of the tournament, while Blumstein was still an relatively unknown poker player, grinding away for hours at online hands, he posted a tweet inviting friends and followers to back his bid in the tournament.
