Eric Froehlich Hits The Rail
Tyler Smith raised and Scott Fischman reraised to 5,500 from the button. Eric Froehlich, who had lost the majority of his stack a few hands earlier, then moved all in from the small blind.
Smith reraised to 16,500 and Fischman folded. Froehlich’s pocket fours were in big trouble against Smith’s pocket aces and he received no help on the flop, turn or river.
David “bakes” Baker Doubles Up
David Baker found himself short stacked and all in holding pocket jacks against the pocket nines of his opponent.
The board brought no help for either player and Baker is now back to his original starting stack of about 30,000 in chips.
Bad Luck For Craig Bergeron
After a series of preflop raises, Craig Bergeron had an opponent all in and covered holding A
K
. His opponent showed A
K and in all likelihood, they were heading for a chop.
Instead, the board fell Q75105 and Bergeron lost the pot to a runner-runner flush. He now has just 10,000 in chips.
Chad Brown Loses Some Chips
The button raised to 2,100 and Team PokerStars Pro Chad Brown made the call from the big blind. The flop came down Q
94 and Brown checked.
The button continued with a bet of 1,700 and Brown made the call. The turn was the A and the button fired in 4,000. Brown folded, bringing his stack to 39,000.
Meet Your Chip Leader, Chris Hunichen
All of a sudden, Chris “BigHuni” Hunichen is sitting at the top of the leaderboard with about 190,000 in chips.
