WSOP 2022: Third Bracelet For Phil Hui, First For Jonathan Pastore And David Perry

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2022 has been going on in full steam at Bally’s and Paris Casino in Las Vegas, and there seems to be no end to the unparalleled action. WSOP events have been crowning winners one after the other as several players are marking their first-ever WSOP victories, while some adding more to their list.

The past week saw the three events, namely Event #43: $500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em, Event #45: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed and Event #46: $5,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em concluded on a high note. Here’s more about the three events:

WSOP 2022 Event #43: $500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold’em:

This event had 4,786 entrants battling it out at this $500 buy-in event. The event generated a prize pool of $2,010,120, which was shared by the top 718 entries as the min-cash stood at $801. Defense attorney David Perry emerged victorious and clinched his first-ever WSOP and cashed $241,729. Perry beat two-time WSOP bracelet winner Chris Moorman, as the latter finished second for $149,405.

Commenting on how he plans to celebrate the victory, Perry said he has to “fly back [to Columbus, Ohio] and give a bracelet to my 94-year-old mother.” He did confess that he has some plans for the money though, he shared he would fire a bullet in the $1,000 Seniors Event, and might take his chances in the $10,000 Main Event. He also added that the win has given him the opportunity to ‘throw his hat in the ring.’
