Eric Froehlich won 2 World Series of Poker bracelets by the time he was 22 years old. In 2005, Froehlich took down the $1,500 LHE at the 36th Annual World Series of Poker. The victory was good for a payday of $303,908. It also gave him the temporary distinction of being the youngest player to win a World Series of Poker bracelet. (Jeff Madsen, even younger than Froehlich, would win a bracelet a week later.) The amazing part is that Froehlich came back in 2006 and won another WSOP bracelet, this time in the $1,500 PLO-Rebuy. He won $299,675 when he took down the tournament.
Froehlich learned competitive card play as a teenager at Magic: The Gathering. Through Magic, he was introduced to the game of poker. Learning, discussing, and dissecting poker with fellow Magic players like Justin Bonomo, Isaac Haxton, and David Williams helped them all succeed in poker and Froehlich followed the same path. By the age of 18, he decided to leave the University of Virginia to pursue a career as a professional poker player.
When Froehlich won his first bracelet in 2005 that was his very first tournament poker cash. That was also his only cash of the year. The following summer Froehlich headed back to Las Vegas and had an impressive World Series of Poker. He cashed 5 times including his 2nd bracelet win. In 2007, Froehlich finished runner-up at the Mirage Poker Showdown’s $5,000 Heads-Up NLHE, earning $75,872. The World Series of Poker began a month later and Froehlich collected 3 more cashes.
Froehlich cashed 4 more times at the WSOP in 2008. His most lucrative event was the $10,000 LHE World Championship. He finished 12th and earned $35,861. A week later, Froelich finished one place higher, 11th, in the giant $1,000 NLHE. He made $31,753 for that deep run.
Froehlich made his first appearance at a televised WPT final table in 2009. He came in 4th out of 353 players at the Foxwoods World Poker Finals and walked away with $232,496. In January 2010, Froehlich ventured to the Bahamas for the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure and cashed for $52,000. Froehlich returned to Paradise Island the following year and bested his 2010 finish, making $59,000 for coming in 33rd place.
Eric Froelich began the 2011 WSOP with his 19th career Series cash. He made the semifinals of the $25,000 Heads-Up NLHE Championship, good for $283,966. Eric also earned $240,876 for his 4th place finish in the $5,000 Triple Chance NLHE at the Series.
Froehlich is an accomplished Magic: The Gathering pro and has competed internationally for over a decade. He credits his continued friendships with other Magic players for much of the development of his poker game.
