WSOP Day #22 Round Up: A Wedding Proposal, a Dream Come True in the Monster Stack, and Mercier Comes Alive

Lee Davy brings you up to speed on the main talking points of the 22nd day of the 46th Annual World Series of Poker including a wedding proposal, a dream come true in the Monster Stack, and Jason Mercier finally springs to life.

After a tough five-day slog Event #28: MONSTER STACK $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em is finally in the books. The event attracted 7,192 players, making it the seventh largest live tournament attendance in history, and a dealer from Florida walked away with $1.2m, at his first time of asking.

Perry Shiao spends his time working as a dealer at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida. Fortunately, for the 26-year old, he was able to book a few days off work. It was worth it. Shiao overturned a 3:1 chip deficit against Eric Place, when heads-up, to take the first prize, and the gold bracelet. It was Shiao’s first WSOP cash of his life.

There were two bracelet winners at the final table. Hoyt Corkins was searching for his third, but would exit in ninth place. Asi Moshe foraged a little deeper, but came up short in third.
