Becalmed In Brasilia

Even though the Brasilia room has all 78 tables filled currently, there seems to be a certain energy missing. The somber atmosphere seems to have everyone playing a little more conservative.

We did find bracelet winner Eric 'E-Fro' Froehlich involved in a small battle of the blinds. Froehlich raised to 600 from the small, the big blind would then make it 3,000 total, as E-Fro made the call.

Both players would check the flop of {2-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} . When the {5-Clubs} fell on the turn, Froehlich led out for 3,800; his opponent would fold. 'E-Fro' is off to a respectable start and is at 45,000.
