Eric Froehlich Eliminated

Eric Froehlich
Eric Froehlich
A series of three hands led to the end of Eric Froehlich's Main Event. After a {J-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {5-Clubs} flop Froehlich called his opponent's 2,700 all in bet holding {A-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}. He'd flopped middle pair but his opponent held {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs} for top pair and when the board ran out {10-Diamonds} {8-Spades} Eric was down to just 425 chips.

He moved in the next hand with {J-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} and flopped a jack on his way to doubling to 825, but on the next hand he again moved all in, this time with {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}, and was called by three players. It was checked around after the {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts} flop, there was a 2,000 bet and a call after the {K-Spades} turned, and a 5,000 bet and a fold after the {5-Clubs} came on the river. The remaining player turned over {K-Hearts} {10-Clubs} for top two pair and Froehlich was eliminated.
