Mickey DoftEric Froehlich is making another heads-up tournament run
Welcome to Day 2 of Event 12, the $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em. A field of 152 came to play and after two matches for some (and three for others), only 32 remain with hopes of capturing the coveted WSOP gold bracelet. Many notable players remain, including last year's fourth-place finisher in the $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em affair last summer. Eric Froehlich brings his A-game when it comes to playing heads-up and following his wins against Ronald Crabtree, Jason Somerville, and Steve O'Dwyer, Froehlich has put himself into position to capture his third WSOP bracelet.
