Sean Perry, a 21-year player son of poker pro Ralph Perry, is leading the final table of this year’s WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic Main Event, it became clear last night. The six remaining survivors will return at the Bellagio today at 4 pm local time to play down to a winner.
Perry turned 21 on the very day the $10,400 Main Event kicked off. Speaking about his performance so far, the player said that he believes this is his tournament and that he is quite confident in his game and the chips he has managed to accumulate.
The player will enter Day 6 of the event with a total of 7.65 million, good for 191 big blinds. What is more, he is almost 1.5 million ahead of the player who will begin final table action second in chips.
And that player is actually the runner-up of last year’s edition of the tournament – Ryan Tosoc. The player bagged and tagged 5.105 million to give him enough confidence for today’s finale. It is also interesting to note that he is currently looking to improve from last year, when he finished second behind only the champion James Romero. Tosoc collected $1.1 million for his deep run in the 2016 Five Diamond World Poker Classic.
Speaking to WPT staff, Tosoc said last night that he feels very confident when playing at the Bellegio, the host venue of the ongoing Main Event. He went on to explain that even if cards are not always going his way, he still feels very comfortable at the poker tables of the popular Las Vegas casino.
