Eric Froehlich Eliminated in 4th Place ($240,876)

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Antonin Teisseire celebrates Eric Froehlich's elimination.
Antonin Teisseire celebrates Eric Froehlich's elimination.

Antonin Teisseire opened under the gun, and Eric Froehlich shoved in for about 2 million from the big blind. Teisseire quickly called, and Froehlich was at risk. And flipping.

Showdown
Teisseire: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}
Froehlich: {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

Both men stood up to sweat this big pot, and this final day has certainly not disappointed in the drama department so far. When the dealer burned and turned, the {K-Clubs} was right in the window, and the flop rolled out {5-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {K-Clubs} to pull the Frenchman into a big lead with two to come. Froehlich needed to find a jack now, but the turn {6-Spades} and river {9-Spades} failed to save his tournament life.

There'll be no third bracelet for E-Fro today, cut down as the first casualty on this cooler of a Day 4. He'll take $240,876 for his work, but it looks like it's not much consolation now as a slightly flush Froehlich heads off the stage.
