David Prociak

On the turn with the board reading Ts7h3s7c, David Prociak checked from the big blind and a player in middle position checked as well. The button bet 5,000 and only Prociak called.

There was about 16,000 in the pot heading to the river, which was the 4s. Prociak checked and the button bet 10,000. Prociak moved all in for 23,400 and the button quickly called.

“Tens full,” said Prociak, showing TdTh5s2s.

“I really wanted to check,” said the button, who showed 7d6d5d4h, good for a smaller boat.

Prociak won the pot as a player was eliminated on another table and the field was trimmed down to 36 players and the final four tables.

David Prociak – 79,000
