Froehlich Finds His Double!

Level 2 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Eric Froehlich raised to 26,000, and Yevgeniy Timoshenko reraised to 72,000. Froehlich called, and the {7-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {6-Spades} flop drew a 60,000-chip continuation bet from Timoshenko. Froehlich took pause before announcing an all in for 428,000, and Timoshenko asked for the count. He's spend a couple minutes considering before making the call, and Froehlich was at risk for his first bullet. He was essentially flipping a coin.

Showdown
Timoshenko: {A-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}
Froehlich: {8-Clubs} {9-Hearts}

Fröhlich was drawing, but his overcards were live, too. He'd need a five, eight, nine, or ten to win the pot.

Turn: {10-Clubs}

That'll do it. Timoshenko was drawing dead, and Froelich has doubled up in a big way. The meaningless {5-Spades} rivered, and Timoshenko counted out his debt and paid it off.

The "Let's go, E-Fro" chants rang out from the sparsely populated arena as Froehlich takes the lead in the match.
