Eric Froehlich has been ranked as the best Magic the Gathering player in the world, but today he is hoping to reach the pinnacle in another strategy based card game.

We caught the man known as "E-Fro" involved in an early pot, as he limped in and then called a raise of 300. When the dealer fanned the flop, Froehlich check-called a bet of 550, bringing the to the table on the turn.

Another check by Froehlich prompted a bet of 1,300 by his opponent, and once again the two-time bracelet winner flatted.

Both players tapped the table on the river, and Froehlich rolled over the for a flopped pair of jacks. His opponent mucked, and Froehlich chipped up a bit to begin the day.
