Mark Perry (Chesire, CT)

A level after we talked about Matthew Wantman doubling up and playing an above average stack, he's now out of Event 5 after losing a big flip and then running into the big slick of Mark Perry, who's [Ah][Kh] just took out two shorter stacked players.

The action was picked up with Wantman moving all-in for just over 15,000 chips and Perry, to his immediate left, re-shoving having Wantman well covered.

The action folded to an unknown player on the button who then went all-in for less than Wantman's bet.

Wantman was technically flipping against both players, but it was just Perry that he had to worry about as his tournament life was only at risk against the big stack.

Wantman held [5h][5s] and the unknown player held [9h][7d].

Wantman would fall behind both as the flop fell [Ad][7s][3d] and he'd be unable to find a five on the turn and river and he and the unknown player would both be collecting their things and leaving the tournament area.

Perry would move close to the 60,000 chip mark after that hand and would then flop a set and get three streets of value on the very next hand, moving himself close to the 80,000 chip mark when the action finally slowed down at his outer table.

Perry's another Foxwoods "reg" with an impressive tournament resume, as he has close to 45 live rated cashes in his career and over $110,000 in career tournament earnings and will look to make his first Card Player Poker Tour score of the series here in Event 5.
