Scott Boxenhorn

Scott Boxenhorn is a professional poker player from Dix Hills, New York, who balances his poker career with his role as President/CEO of IDS Audio Video & Technologies, a company he founded in 1985. He is a regular on the live tournament circuit, with cashes in WSOP and WPT events spanning from 2015 to 2022.

Boxenhorn recorded his first WSOP cash in 2015, finishing 2,009th in Event #5: THE COLOSSUS ($565 No-Limit Hold'em) for $1,286. He continued to notch deep runs in subsequent years, including a 28th-place finish at the 2017 WPTDeepStacks Big Stax 1500 at Parx Casino ($5,457). In 2019, he placed 682nd in the WSOP $1,000+$111 Little One for One Drop ($1,692). His biggest cash came in January 2020 at the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open, where he finished 78th out of 1,290 entries for $8,735. During the pandemic, Boxenhorn cashed in the 2021 WSOP Event #8: No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack (97th out of 4,527, $2,560). His most recent recorded cash was in the 2022 WSOP Event #76: $1,979 Poker Hall of Fame Bounty No-Limit Hold'em, where he placed 45th out of 865 for $5,590. In total, he has earned $25,320 from six live tournament cashes.

At the 2017 Parx Big Stax VII, Boxenhorn found himself in a tough spot during Day 3 of the Big Stax 500 event. Short-stacked, he shoved with pocket deuces only to be called by Jon Rublee holding K♠J♦. The board double-paired on the river, counterfeiting Boxenhorn’s hand and eliminating him in 14th place ($4,527). Earlier in the same series, during Big Stax 300, Boxenhorn bet 100,000 on a flop of 8♥7♣8♦, then quickly folded when Mark Petrowci moved all-in, leaving himself with just 10 big blinds.

Outside of poker, Scott Boxenhorn is the founder and President/CEO of IDS Audio Video & Technologies, a Plainview, New York-based company specializing in audio video, smart home, and alarm systems. With over 41 years of experience in the industry, he has grown the company to $13.3 million in annual revenue. His background in technology and management highlights his disciplined, analytical approach at the poker table.

Boxenhorn is known as a steady tournament grinder who prioritizes survival and position. His deep runs in large fields suggest a patient, risk-averse style, though he is capable of making aggressive moves when short-stacked. He tends to avoid early confrontations and capitalizes on late-stage opportunities.
