Eric Perry, Winner of Event #1
Eric Perry has just claimed his first World Series of Poker Circuit Ring after taking down Event #1 $400 Double Stack No-Limit Hold’em for a total of $27,007. He outlasted a field of 372 entrants.
Perry was below average in chips for almost the entire tournament, but he managed to make a comeback and take it down.
‘’I was short stack pretty much the whole day. I was never above chips average until pretty much towards the end. It was a big grind to be honest, no big huge runs, had aces only but really didn’t need big cards to win, just needed to get a couple of good flops.’’
Perry plans to stay the entire week. For him, playing on the Circuit is a good way to improve his game.
‘’I will be here the rest of the week. I’ve been practicing really hard and this is the reason I’ve been playing on the Circuit. A lot of great players here, and you get better by playing against really good players.’’
