Maguire wound up with $1.443 million in prize money and Lewis took $1.235 million.
Perry Scores Victory In ARIA High Roller #19
Sean Perry has been chasing Ali Imsirovic on the PokerGO Tour leaderboard for the entire year, but he did himself a favor by winning ARIA High Roller #19 to narrow the gap by 165 points. Coming into the event, Perry was 741 points behind Imsirovic. After the win, Perry closed the gap to 576 points.
The ARIA High Roller that Perry won was the venue’s 19th of the year. It was a $25,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em tournament that attracted a field of 28 entries and generated a prize pool of $675,000. Perry was one of four players to finish in the money and defeated Stephen Chidwick in heads-up play to take home the $275,160 first-place prize.
In addition to Perry and Chidwick, Alex Foxen and Nick Petrangelo were the other two players to cash, taking third place and fourth place, respectively.
The win was Perry’s third victory on the PokerGO Tour in 2021. He previously won ARIA High Roller #12 for $169,600 and Venetian High Roller #3 for $365,500.
