Eric Froehlich Eliminated in 23rd Place ($12,000)
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
From the cutoff seat, Vanessa Selbst raised to 22,000, and Eric Froehlich was the lone caller, coming along from the big blind to a heads-up flop.
It came and Froehlich check-called a bet of 33,000. On the turn, Selbst fired another 62,000, but this time Froehlich check-raised all in for about 320,000 total. Selbst snap-called and Froehlich was in a bad spot.
Showdown
Froehlich:
Selbst:
Selbst's set had Froehlich drawing dead to his open-ender, but the dealer would not give him any help. The river was a blank, and Froehlich is out as the second casualty of this fourth day.
Selbst's charge toward a remarkable repeat title presses on; she's closing in on 2 million chps with a quickness.
