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.
