David Prociak Leads the Final Five in Event #62: $1,500 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Twenty-eight players started Day 3 of the 2023 World Series of Poker Event #62: $1,500 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha in the event center at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas looking to take home the top prize of $410,659 and the coveted WSOP gold bracelet, and that dream is still alive for five players, which will conclude on PokerGO tomorrow, June 30th, at 5 p.m.
Leading the final five is bracelet winner David Prociak, who bagged 21,450,000. This will be Prociak's 59th WSOP cash, and even with an unlikely fifth-place finish, he's guaranteed to approach the million-dollar mark in career WSOP earnings. Prociak spent a good part of the day as a middling stack and was short toward the end of the day, but rocketed into the lead after a come-from-behind win in Pot-Limit Omaha against Robert Mizrachi's aces.
Final Table Seat Draw
| Table | Seat | Name | Country | Chips | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feature | 1 | Eric Pfenning | United States | 8,100,000 | 27 |
| Feature | 2 | David Prociak | United States | 21,450,000 | 72 |
| Feature | 3 | Eran Carmi | Israel | 3,925,000 | 13 |
| Feature | 4 | David Simon | United States | 11,900,000 | 40 |
| Feature | 5 | Tsuf Saltsberg | Israel | 6,550,000 | 22 |
Second in chips is David Simon, who bagged 11,900,000 and, with this cash, will more than double his current WSOP earnings of $90,000.
Simon had this to say to PokerNews, "As surreal as this tournament has been, it still feels natural when I'm at the table. But the second that I get up from the table, I can't keep the smile off my face. This is already six times more than I've ever cashed. It's been a dreamlike couple of days. I plan on just having a good tomorrow."
Rounding out the top three is Eric Pfenning and right on his heels is Israel's Tsuf Saltsberg, bagging 6,550,000.
Coming in as the table short stack is Day 2 chip leader Eran Carmi, finishing with 3,925,000. Carmi spent most of the day as the tournament big stack, but found himself on the wrong side of a few late-day clashes with Prociak.
Early eliminations included two-time bracelet winner Martin Kabrhel, who was left with only 10,000 in chips after his opponent flopped an ace-high flush in an all-in hand, and then was eliminated a hand later by Prociak when his ace-nine-four-three failed to improve against Prociak’s ace-queen-jack-four in Pot-Limit Omaha.
Final Table Action
First to exit the final table in ninth place was Charles Honkonen, who scored a career-high cash of $34,805 after calling his remaining chips with second pair to Carmi.
Eighth place belonged to China’s Guofeng Wang, who would score his 12th WSOP cash after his flopped two pair would fall to the turned trips of Mizrachi.
Three-time bracelet winner, Upeshka De Silva, fell right before the dinner break to Saltsberg after De Silva’s queens failed to hold against Saltsberg's ace-king, sending him to the rail in seventh place.
Robert Mizrachi would bow out in sixth. Mizrachi entered the final table as one of the big stacks but became short after a devastating clash with Prociak in Pot-Limit Omaha. Mizrachi busted a few hands later when his ace-ten would fail to improve against Prociak's ace-queen.

Prociak and Carmi Continue to Clash, Prociak Extends Chip Lead
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
David Prociak limped in from the small blind and Eran Carmi checked his option.
Prociak would check-call a bet from Carmi for 400,000 on a flop reading K♥9♠J♣ and both players checked the K♠ turn.
The dealer rolled over the 4♠ on the river and Prociak bet out 1,100,000, which sent Carmi into the tank.
After a few moments of deliberation, Carmi made the call and saw the bad news as Prociak tabled K♣10♥9♥4♥ for kings full of nines, with Carmi sending his hand into the muck.

Big Double for Prociak
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
Robert Mizrachi raised to 750,000 from the small blind and David Prociak three-bet to 2,225,000 in the big blind. Mizrachi moved all-in and Prociak called.
David Prociak: K♦K♣6♠6♦
Robert Mizrachi: A♠A♥7♠6♣
Mizrachi was in a dominant position to end the day for Prociak, but the 9♦8♦A♦ flop propelled Prociak into the lead with a flush. Mizrachi needed the board to pair to clock the elimination.
However, it would fail to do so on the 4♣ turn and the 3♠ river, giving Prociak the full double.

Simon Doubles Through Prociak
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
David Prociak raised to 550,000 from the cutoff preflop, with Eran Carmi calling from the button. David Simon, the small blind, reraised to 2.45 million. Prociak then bet the pot, with Carmi folding and Simon calling all in for less.
David Simon: A♥K♣6♣4♥
David Prociak: A♠A♣8♠5♥
Simon needed help to overcome Prociak's aces, and the 6♦3♣Q♥ only gave him a pair of sixes. The 2♦ turn opened a straight possibility for him, and the 5♣ river completed his wheel and doubled him up, placing him among the chipleaders.
