Doing Poland Proud
in a recent hand, with the board showing 5-J-6-7-A, action was checked to Frankowski who fired a 1,200 bet. His lone opponent in the hand made the call and tabled 8-4 for an eight-high straight. Frankowski one-upped his heads-up foe, however, revealing 8-9 for the nut straight and scooped the decent-sized pot at the end of the first level of play.
Frankowski is just three months removed from a final table appearance at EPT Prague in December 2007 where he finished in 9th place, earning over $11,000 in prize money.
