Event #48: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha (8-Handed)
Day 2 Completed
Day 2 of Event # 48: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha has come to a close here at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. Some 126 survivors from Day 1 began the day and by the end of the night only eight players remained.
David Prociak captured his second WSOP bracelet just a few weeks ago in Event #11: $1,500 Badugi. Tonight, he put himself in a great position to capture a second one for this series and a third one overall, ending the night with the chip lead at 14,615,000 chips.
Just behind Prociak is fellow two-time bracelet winner Christopher Vitch with 13,530,000 while Thomas Taylor rounds out the top three in a distant third place with 6,100,000. Those three players have over three-quarters of the total chips in play between them, while the other five players will have significant catching up to do to stay in contention.

Eight players remain as they bag their chips for Day 3 tomorrow June 20th at 2:00 p.m. in the Horseshoe Event center.
Konstantinos Tsikopoulos limped in from the small blind and David Prociak checked from the big blind.
The flop came Q♦8♠4♣. Prociak bet 200,000 Tsikopoulos raised to around 1,000,000, Prociak shoved with a covering stack and Tsikopoulos, who had around 1,000,000 behind, called off to put himself at risk.
Konstantinos Tsikopoulos: K♦Q♥8♦7♠
David Prociak: K♠4♥4♦2♣
Tsikopoulos was behind with top two pair against Prociak's bottom set. He couldn't catch up when the rest of the board ran out 10♥10♦ and became the first player to be eliminated from the final table.

David Prociak opened 250,000 under the gun and Christopher Vitch on the button, Joe Firova in the small blind and Konstantinos Tsikopoulos in the big blind all made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of 9♦9♥3♠, and the action checked to Vitch who fired 250,000. Firova folded but Tsikopoulos raised to 800,000. Prociak snap-mucked and Vitch stuck around with a call.
When the 4♣ fell on the turn Tsikopoulos continued for 1,000,000, and gave Vitch a side stare as Vitch began to think about his decision. After a about 30 seconds, Vitch called.
The 9♠ completed the board on the river and Tsikopoulos slowed down with a check. Vitch piled up a bet of 2,200,000 and as he started to slide it across the line Tsikopoulos pitched his cards into the muck.

David Prociak opened from the cutoff, Grant Wang three-bet to 1,050,000 from the big blind and Prociak called.
On the Q♣9♦5♥ flop Wang bet 1,660,000, leaving a very small portion of his stack behind. Prociak reshoved with a covering stack, and after waiting a minute or two for a potential bustout at the other table, Wang called off to put himself at risk.
Grant Wang: A♥A♣J♥2♦
David Prociak: 10♠9♥7♥6♦
Wang was ahead with his overpair, but the 7♣ turn gave Proociak the lead with two pair. Prociak remained ahead on the K♦ river to eliminate Wang on the final table bubble and drag in a huge pot.

Thomas Taylor: A♦A♥10♥7♣
David Prociak: K♥10♠9♦6♠
Taylor flopped top set and was able to fade the flush draw of Prociak as the board completed with the 4♦ turn and the J♥ river.
