Here's a quick count of the biggest stacks around the room:
2014 World Series of Poker
Natasha Barbour has been felted.
We missed the hand but according to Russell Thomas she raised and then four-bet shoved over a raise with ![]()
.
She was up against ![]()
and twpo aces on the final board sealed her fate.
Erik Cajelais opened shoved the button for his last 27k and got the call from Abraham Korotki in the small blind.
Korotki quickly showed ![]()
once the big blind released and Cajelais held ![]()
.
The board was a relatively uneventful ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
and Cajelais was casually laid to rest.
Level: 17
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 500
Down to 42 players now and here is a list of some of the most recently departed.
William Perpich just busted Raj Vohra using a bit of an angle to get there.
For the second time today, Vohra opened with a raise and Perpich announced a raise behind him but failed to put in enough chips to constitute a raise. Previously he had claimed he didn't see Vohra's raise. This time he dropped in 7,600 over Vohra's 7,500 and when he was told he would have to raise it up the minimum amount, he finally put in the correct 10k total.
Vohra then shoved and Perpich snap-called with ![]()
. Vohra held ![]()
and was sent packing after a ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
board ran out.
Perpich then admitted he had seen the raise and purposely put out the wrong amount both times. The floor then issued him a warning not to try such tactics again.
Vincent Moscati opened for 8,000 and Nicholas Immekus called on the button. Jason Wheeler then made it 21,000 from the big blind. Back to Moscati who four-bet to 46,000 and Immekus quickly got out of the way. Wheeler though had other ideas and moved all in.
Moscati got a count and the total bet was just over 200k to call, most of his stack, but call he did.
Moscati's ![]()
was staring at the ![]()
of Wheeler.
The flop was ![]()
![]()
and suddenly the picture looked very different. There was hardly time to react though as the dealer quickly burned and turned the
and finished it off with a river
.
There would be no suck out for Moscati who would plummet down the leader board while Wheeler now sits firmly atop.

What a difference just over four hours of six-max can make on two similar starting stacks. Steven Hensley and Christopher MacNeil both started in the top few stacks but while Hensley is still sitting pretty with nearly 400k, MacNeil is on just 60k.
