I have actually never ever remained in a position to reject $400,000 and I can not fathom a time in a future in which I will ever remain in that scenario. High stakes poker gamer and self-proclaimed “finest gambler in the world” Sean Perry did simply that. For him, that choice came back to bite him in the back.

It was not a Merry Christmas for Perry, as he was gotten rid of from the $9.2 million Circa Survivor contest after being, let’s simply state, incredibly positive that he would win.

)December 18, 2023 In Circa’s well-known$1,000 buy-in, winner-take-all competitors, gamers choose one winner of an NFL video game weekly. That group wins, the gamer proceeds to the next week

. That group loses, the gamer is removed from the contest. The huge catch is that gamers can just select a group as soon as. Hence, survivor swimming pools– Circa’s or otherwise– need preparation and danger, as you can’t simply select the very best group weekly or choice versus the worst group weekly. Naturally, that would not work anyhow, as while it’s not extraordinary, it’s exceptionally unusual for a group to go unbeaten or unvictorious for a whole season.

As an included twist, Circa counted the Thanksgiving/Black Friday and the Christmas video games as different weeks.

There were 9,267 entries in the Circa Survivor contest, making the reward swimming pool $9,267,000, all going to the winner.

Entering into this previous weekend’s video games, there were 13 gamers left and 12 of them consented to a slice in which everybody would get $400,000 and the ultimately winner of the contest would get the remainder of the reward swimming pool. Sean Perry was the only holdout.

He informed the Las Vegas Review-Journal that his reaction to the slice recommendation was, “I stated, ‘With all regard, I’m the very best gambler on the planet. There’s no other way I’m ever slicing. I want you guys all the very best. I’ll see you at the goal,'”

“Why would I slice when I have an edge?” he included. “If you do $400K each, any cash I get of the reward swimming pool is cash I’m, in theory, losing since I have an edge. I think I have the very best group left, and I’m positive in my capability. This is what I do. I’m a big-time crusher. I’ve been the most significant winner in sports for the longest time.

“To be sincere, I’ve sort of taken a huge action far from the poker world and into sports due to the fact that I’ve been squashing and making a lot.”
