Eric Froehlich Eliminated

John Juanda completed from the small blind, and Froehlich checked his option from the big blind. The flop came {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Juanda bet 5,000, Froehlich reraised his remaining 30,000, and Juanda called.

Juanda showed Q-5, and Froehlich 5-3. Each had paired their fives, but Juanda had the better kicker. The turn was the {9-Hearts} and the river the {8-Hearts}, and Froehlich was out in third.

Juanda currently holds the chip lead at Table #5, with 430,000 to Tim West's 170,000.
