Matt Perrins from the United Kingdom has won the nations second bracelet taking down the $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw event. He beat a tough final table that included Chris Bjorin, Bernard Lee, and Jason Mercier but what makes Perrins win all the more impressive is that he only learned to play a two hours before registering. He won $102,105 for his victory in the 275-strong field.
 
Perrins is mainly a no-limit holdem player who had been ‘bubblin' under’ for some time; with over $650,000 in live tournament winnings and several impressive wins including the PokerStars IPT Venezia and the legendary TV show Late Night Poker.
 
Another thing that makes this such an amazing story is his hometown friend Jake Cody  struck gold just three days ago in the $25,000 head-up event defeating Yevgeniy Timoshenko
