Level 32 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 265,000 ante

Christopher Vitch opened 600,000 on the button and David Prociak called before Thomas Taylor three-bet to 2,400,000. Vitch folded, and Prociak made the call.

When the 8♦4♣2♠ flop hit the felt, Prociak shoved his last 400,000 into the middle and Taylor snap-called.

David Prociak: 10♦7♥6♦5♥ All in
Thomas Taylor: K♦K♥J♠2♥

Prociak flopped a wrap and the 4♦ turn gave him a flush draw to go with it but the A♠ river was a brick as Taylor pulled in the pot and Prociak left the table.
