Sean Perry

Sean Perry just played two consecutive pots against Brian Altman, and they culminated in Perry’s exit in 10th place.

The first hand occurred while the previous double-up was being written, so details are spotty. It looked like Sean Perry check-raised Altman on the Ah7d2s flop, then bet 250,000 on the Jd turn. Altman called to leave himself with 685,000 chips, and Perry put him at risk after the 4c river. Altman called off his remainder.

Perry showed 8x9x for a miss, and Altman revealed AsTh to double up in the largest pot of the day.

The following hand, Altman opened to 90,000, and Perry three-bet shoved for his last 305,000. Altman called again to put the former chip leader at risk.

Altman: Ad5s
Perry: KsKd

The 5c4c4h flop gave Altman two more outs for the knockout, as another five would now win him the pot. The 4s turn added one more out to the mix, and the river brought one through. The 5h completed the board, giving Altman the win with fives full.

Perry, the long-standing chip leader in this event, was eliminated in 10th place.

That signals the end of Day 1, and the stacks of the final nine are being verified. They’ll return to Hard Rock Live on Tuesday to play it out in one quadrant of the Big 4 stage.

A recap of the day’s action will be posted alongside the end-of-day chip counts shortly.
