Level 4 is in the books, and even though it only took two hours, a lot happened in that period of time. For one, the World Series of Poker officials announced that this tournament, Event #62: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event, has officially attracted 6,352 players and created a prize pool of $59,708,800. The exact payout structure has yet to be determined, but the eventual winner will be taking home $8,359,531.
As you can see, it was a very active level and there's still one more to be played here on Day 1c. The action will resume in 20 minutes, so join us then to see who can make it through to Day 2c.

With around 3,300 in the pot and a flop of , the player in the small blind checked to Argentinean Jose "Nacho" Barbero in the cutoff. Barbero proceeded to bet 1,300 and was immediately met by a check-raise to 3,200. Barbero then grabbed his entire stack and moved all in for 7,375.
Barbero seemed as if he expected to be snap-called, but the small blind wasn't so fast. He asked for a count and even though it wasn't that much more, he opted to preserve the 16,000 or so he had behind. Barbero's expression suggested that he couldn't believe his opponent folded to so little a three-bet.

Farha and his opponent got all the chips in the middle with Farha holding against the of his opponent.
With Farha drawing dead to the , the river landed the to see him double his opponent and be left with just over three big blinds.
Two hands later Farha would move all in for his last 1,400 before one player three-bet to 2,400. Todd Terry called in the big blind before he and the other active player checked down the board with Terry tabling his , but would lose to the other player’s .
Farha rolled over his and would be forced to hit the rail shy of surviving Day 2.
