Shuffle Up and Deal

Cards are in the air and play is now underway for the final table of the 2022 Wynn Millions Main Event.

Seat 9: Sean Perry (1,700,000)

Chad Holloway

Many poker players are likely familiar with Sean Perry through his appearances on PokerGO’s “High Stakes Poker” and his active presence on the high-roller tournament scene.

According to The Hendon Mob, Perry earned his first tournament cash in March 2017 and has racked up an impressive $6 million in cashes since then.

Perry’s largest cash came just a month ago when he took down Event #8: $50,000 PokerGO Cup for $640,000 after defeating Brock Wilson during heads-up play. Days earlier, Perry took down Event #2: $10,000 NLH for $200,000 to make him the only player to win two events during the series.

Perry is the son of Ralph Perry, a high-stakes poker pro who himself has $3.4 million in live earnings. You may know the elder Perry as the guy who once called Antanas “Tony G” Guoga with king-jack in the 2006 Intercontinental Poker Championship only to get screamed at and told that his “career is finished.”

The younger Perry enters the final table eighth in chips with 1,700,000 and stated at the end of Day 5 that he “just want(ed) to bust and fly to Miami.” We’ll see if Perry can run up his stack or if he will indeed be Miami-bound.

Seat 8: Michael Stembera (3,835,000)

Chad Holloway

The ponytail-sporting Michael Stembera enters the final table sixth in chips with a stack of 3,835,000 as he looks to earn his biggest-ever tournament score.

Stembera, a native of San Antonio, Texas, has $558,447 in lifetime earnings that includes a first-place finish in $1,000 + 100 No Limit Hold'em - Seniors (Event #1) at the 2019 World Poker Tour - WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic for $40,970.

Stembera biggest cash came in 2014 when he finished 70th in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event for $103,025. That means Stembera already has his largest cash locked up as $171,280 is the payout for ninth place.

Stembera stayed relatively quiet throughout Day 5, but we will see if that changes at the final table.

Seat 7: Roland Shen (2,875,000)

Chad Holloway

San Jose, California’s Roland Shen will start Day 6 with a stack of 2,875,000 as he looks to continue his hot run in the Wynn Millions Main Event.

While Shen’s short Hendon Mob page only consists of six cashes, those few cashes have racked him up $289,720 in tournament earnings. That includes a second-place finish in the 2018 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit Thunder Valley Main Event for $116,706.

More recently, Shen finished second in $10,000 No Limit Hold'em - Aria High Roller 38 as part of the 2021 PokerGO Tour Aria High Roller Series, which earned him a payday of $138,000. That means Shen already has his biggest-ever live cash locked up as $171,280 is the prize for ninth place.

Only time will tell if Shen’s seventh Hendon Mob entry will also be his first first-place finish in a live tournament.
