Top-Top Sends Froehlich Out

Eric Froehlich
Eric Froehlich

In middle position, Jim Lewis raised to 3,500, and Eric Froehlich three-bet to 12,000 from the button. Lewis made the call, and the two men saw a flop of {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {5-Clubs}. Lewis quickly announced a pot-sized bet of 25,500, and Froehlich made the call, putting himself all in in the process. The news was not good:

Lewis: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}
Froehlich: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}

The turn was the {6-Spades}, and the river {3-Diamonds} completed the board. Unable to find any help for his inferior kicker, Froehlich has been eliminated from the tournament.
