Alfonso Perez (Coconut Creek, FL)

Alfonso Perez's (Coconut Creek, FL) name may sound familiar, having won the $120 No Limit Hold'em Event during the 2016 PPC $110,000 Guarantee ($7,125).  Flying under the radar for most of the day, Perez would find himself on the river against Ariel Williams.  With both players fairly deep stacked, and a board reading 10♠ 9♠ 9♣ 2♥ A♦, the two would manage to get both there stacks in the middle (on the river).  Williams would show A♥ 9♥, but was bested by Perez's 10♦ 10♣ (flopped full house), and would bust her first bullet.  Alfonso, on the other hand, would chip up to 200,000, and rocket up the leaderboard.
