Perrins Tweeted when all was said and done, “Ship it, so happy, thanks so much everyone for the support, especially those on the rail, means a lot, love you all.”
Joe leemur Serock was eliminated in eighth place for $76,000. On the 39th hand of final table play, Serock called all-in pre-flop with A-9 of diamonds, but ran into Perrins’ A-K of spades. The flop was K-Q-J, giving Perrins top pair, but a diamond on the turn opened the door to a possible flush for Serock. However, a heart on the river ended matters and the table was trimmed to seven players.
Randal RandALLin Flowers (pictured) was the next to go. He got his money in ahead with kings against Perrins’ A-K, but an ace on the turn propelled Perrins into the lead. Flowers walked off with $98,000, his second cash of this year’s WSOP.
Matt berkey11 Berkey got his chips in the middle on the 74th hand of final table play in the $5,000 No Limit Hold’em tournament with A-K and was poised for a double up against Perrins’ A-7. However, Perrins hit the 10-7-7 flop hard and Berkey was drawing dead by the river, exiting in fifth place. His payday was $171,000, his sixth cash and third final table of the 2013 WSOP.
Perrins entered heads-up play against Arthur Pro with a commanding 10:1 chip lead. Pro managed to doubled up two times, but the third time was not a charm. He got his chips in with A-J against Perrins’ K-Q and flopped a jack to boot, but a king on the turn sent Perrins out in front for good. The river was a blank for Pro and Perrins won bracelet #2.
Perrins busted six of his eight final table opponents. His first bracelet came two years ago in a $1,500 No Limit 2-7 Lowball tournament and was good for $102,000. There were 275 players in that contest. Here were the final table results from his most recent piece of hardware:
1. Matt pez102Perrins – $792,275
