Professional poker player Sean Perry has accused well-known players Jason Mercier and Dylan Gang of cheating him in a series of high-stakes sports wagers. Perry alleged that Mercier and Gang misled him with false information, resulting in him losing millions of dollars in bets. He claimed that Gang, who was Mercier’s partner in the operation, was involved in illegal activities, such as running high-stakes private games with sex workers present.
In addition to Mercier and Gang, Perry also attacked Daniel Negreanu, calling him “scum” for not sharing Perry’s side of the story and reposting an attack on Perry from Eric Wasserson. Despite Perry’s public threats to expose Mercier, the accused players have remained silent on the matter. Perry attempted to draw attention to his allegations by offering money to accounts that shared his posts on social media.
Perry’s own history has been marred by controversy, with accusations of cheating in high-stakes gambling in the past. Fellow pro Dan Colman accused Perry of cheating him in Daily Fantasy Sports gambling, claiming that Perry controlled multiple accounts to scam him out of a significant sum of money. Many of Perry’s peers have distanced themselves from him and questioned the validity of his sports wagers, with some describing him as untrustworthy with money.
Despite the allegations and controversies surrounding Perry, Mercier, Gang, Negreanu, and others involved, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold and if any further action will be taken. The poker community is closely watching the developments of this scandal and the impact it may have on the reputation of those involved.
