Field Trip Report, Part II

Eric Froehlich

A few updates from the Brasilia room...

Brock Parker's seat his vacant. David Chiu reports he busted in the previous level.

Saw two-time WSOP bracelet holder Eric Froehlich raise from the hijack seat and claim the blinds. He's sitting at about 5,700 at the moment.

Also, TV producer/writer Sam Simon (The Simpsons) is nursing a short stack. Just now he limped into a pot, only to have the player to his left raise, prompting an "of course" look from Simon. It folded back around and the made the call.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Simon checked, his opponent bet, and Simon rechecked his cards, then folded. His opponent showed him his hand -- {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}. Simon nodded with a wry grin, his stack now at about 2,000.

As tables break here in the Amazon, they are bringing those in the Brasilia over here a table at a time, so eventually we'll all be dancing in the same ballroom.
