Efro Still Mixing It Up Early

Level 1 : 50/75, 0 ante

We walked upon Eric "Efro" Froelich's table to see him raise to 150 from the hijack. Only the big blind made the call and the duo watched the flop come down {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}. The big blind promptly checked, Froehlich bet 75, the big blind check-raised to 150, Froehlich three-bet to 225, and the big blind made the call.

When the dealer burned and turned the {7-Diamonds}, it went check, bet 150, raise to 300, and call, leading to the {8-Hearts} on the river. Once again the big blind checked, Forehlich bet 150, and the big blind made the call. Froehlich rolled over {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, which sent the big blind shooting out of his chair and revealing {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}.

"Chop," one of their tablemates said. "Calm down, calm down." Indeed, a chop was the result.
