Bjorin: T-7-6-3

Matt Perrins
Perrins won his first WSOP bracelet ever. An interesting piece of information is that this was the first time Matt Perrins played 2-7 ever. "My friends were telling me the game and said it is fun and quite similar to Hold’em, so I thought ‘Why not? I’ll give it a try"- he said. He consulted a half-hour YouTube video which taught him the basics of the game, and not much later he already sat at the table at the Rio Casino. In an interview he said: "To be honest, Day 1 the first three or four hours, I didn’t really know what was going on here. I kept speaking to mates [asking] what to do here, what to do here. As the tournament got deeper, it was kind of similar to Hold’em where opening a lot of pot and three-betting wins you a lot of pots."
