Sean Perry's Bold Move: Refusing $9.3M Chop in Circa Survivor

Sean Perry, a renowned high-stakes poker player, made a daring decision in the Circa Survivor contest, a sports betting competition with a prize pool of $9.3 million. With 13 players left, Perry refused a chop deal that would have guaranteed him $400,000, confident in his edge and aiming for the entire prize.

The Circa Survivor contest is a winner-take-all competition where participants pick one winner of an NFL game every week. Perry's refusal to make a deal came when there were 13 players left in the contest. He was the only one among them who declined the chop, stating that he believed he had the best team left and was confident in his ability.

Perry's confidence, however, did not pay off. He was eliminated from the contest after his pick, the Denver Broncos, lost 26-23 on a last-minute field goal by the New England Patriots. His elimination meant that he left the competition with no share of the prize money, despite his deep run. Josh Arieh, a fellow poker player, was happy to see Perry dip out with nothing from the event.
