Froehlich Falters

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Eric Froehlich opened for 525 from the cutoff, and it folded to the player in the small blind who reraised to 1,625. The big blind got out, and Froehlich called. The flop came {8-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Froehlich's opponent led for 1,725. Froehlich called.

The turn then brought the {10-Clubs} and a check from the SB. Froehlich took a moment, then bet 3,300. The small blind waited about 15 seconds, then said he was all in, producing one of those oh-hell-was-hoping-not-to-hear-that grins from E-Fro. Froehlich quickly mucked, leaving himself about 6,200.
