A late position player made it 12,000 and the button went into the tank before folding. It was back on Mohler and he shoved having the late-position player covered. The late-position player folded and Mohler raked the pot.

He contends for the chip lead with dinner break about 30 minutes away.

Players: 126 (Late registration until 7:30 p.m.)

After finishing runner-up in the Seminole Hard Rock “Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open” about two months ago, David Prociak went ahead and won Event 7 of the Coco Poker Showdown. Prociak came out on top of the intimate, 55-entry field in the $240 Omaha 8 event to earn $3,740. While it didn’t match his six-figure score from a couple months prior, the performance and its corresponding victory were equally as gratifying.

After a head-to-head battle with Roger Goindoo saw Prociak surrender a pot, the Orlando native now sits at just over starting stack with about 22,000 in the Championship.
