Froehlich Runs Queens Into Kings

Eric Froehlich, not too happy about that hand

Eric Froehlich opened with a raise to 400 from under the gun and found one caller in middle position before Brian Rast made it 1,750 to go from the big blind. Froehlich made the call as the third player stepped aside.

The flop landed {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Rast led out for 2,700. Froehlich made the call. The turn was the {10-Spades} and Rast fired again for 6,000. Froehlich announced a raise which was big enough to put Rast all in. He obliged with a call and the cards were on their backs:

Froehlich: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Rast: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The river was the the {A-Hearts} and Rast's kings hold up to collect the huge pot to climb to 46,800. Froehlich is left with 7,800.
