Froehlich Flops the Joint and Busts Perepletchikov
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Eric Froehlich raised from the hijack seat to 47,000. Oleg Perepletchikov three-bet from the small blind to 122,000. Shayne Khanna mucked from the big blind and then Froehlich flat-called in position, looking to see a flop.
The flop came down 
and Perepletchikov fired out two tall stacks of blue T5,000 chips with a few more on top. The total bet was worth 220,000. Froehlich studied for a minute and then announced that he was all in. Perepletchikov called within five seconds.
Froehlich: 
Perepletchikov: 
Pending a runner-runner Paradise Island miracle, Perepletchikov would be eliminated from the hand and Froehlich would win a massive pot.
The turn brought the 
and that officially ended things as the dealer completed the board with the 
. Perepletchikov had about 560,000 behind after he bet the flop and sent all of his chips over to Froehlich, who now has over two million in chips. After the hand was over, Khanna said he would have flopped a flush as well if he played from the big blind.
Yesterday, our very own Kristy Arnett caught up with Froehlich to discuss a hand he played on Day 3 of this 2011 PCA Main Event. Froehlich discusses his thought process in the hand and you should check out the article to get into the mind of a very solid player.

Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Philippe Plouffe opened to 50,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Wesley Wiemes who three-bet to 125,000 in the hijack seat. The cutoff mucked and John Spadavecchia moved all in for 288,000. Plouffe asked for a count of Wieme's stack (approximately 680,000), but eventually folded. Wiemes snapped it off though, and it was off to the races.
Wiemes: 
Spadavecchia: 
There was a brief pause for the camera crew before the dealer wrapped the table, burned a card, dealt the flop face down and then turned the cards over with the in the window followed by 
.
Spadavecchia gave a slight fist pump and Wiemes asked for the 
on the turn. The 
was not what Wiemes was asking for however, and he was now down to just two outs. The 
was yet another blank for Wiemes who saw his stack dwindle to 400,000 chips.
Spadavecchia starts the day with a double and is now up to 660,000 chips.

Beren Busts
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Max Weinberg min-raised on the button and both Eric Beren and Philippe Plouffe called from the blinds. The flop fell 
, Beren checked, Plouffe bet 80,000 and Weinberg folded. Beren then check-raised to 200,000, Plouffe moved all in for over a million and Beren made the call.
Beren: 
Plouffe: 
Beren needed a club to stay alive and both the turn and river were black, but neither the 
nor the 
completed his flush and he was eliminated from the tournament. With the knockout Plouffe becomes one of our chip leaders; he now has 2.85 million chips.
Sabat Spilling, Literally
Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 2,000 ante
Eric Froehlich raised to 55,000 from the cutoff seat and Eddy Sabat called from the small blind to see the flop come down 
. Both players checked and the 
appeared on the turn. Sabat led with a bet of 62,000 and Froehlich folded. After the hand, Sabat accidentally knocked over his cup of water as he was pulling in the pot. The water went all over the table and caused quite the wet mess.
