Froehlich Frolicking Up The Chip Counts

Eric Froehlich has wasted no time in accumulating what must be one of the largest stacks in the room.

In a recent hand a player in early position raised to 900, Froehlich called, and the player on the button went all in for a total of 7,500. The original raised folded and Froehlich called.

Froehlich: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Button: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Up through the turn the board read {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades} and the button player was about to double up, but then the {k-Hearts} fell on the river giving Froehlich the win and sending the other player to the rail.
