Early life
Froehlich attended Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology.[5] Froehlich began playing poker in high school and got involved in online poker at the age of 18. He dropped out of the University of Virginia around April 2005 to become a professional poker player.
World Series of Poker
In the first year, he was eligible to enter a World Series of Poker (WSOP) tournament (2005); Froehlich won a bracelet in the $1,500 limit Texas hold 'em event, making $303,908. At the time, this made him the youngest player to ever win a bracelet.
Froehlich won a second bracelet at the 2006 WSOP tournament in the $1,500 pot limit Omaha w/rebuys event, making $299,675. In the final hand, his Шаблон:Cards defeated Sherkhan Farnood's Шаблон:Cards on a board of Шаблон:Cards.
Shortly after Froehlich's status as the youngest bracelet winner of all time, he was overtaken by Jeff Madsen during the 2006 World Series of Poker and Steve Billirakis at the 2007 World Series of Poker. In September 2007 at the inaugural World Series of Poker Europe, Norwegian poker player Annette Obrestad won the £10,000 No-Limit Texas Hold'em Championship at the age of 18 to become the youngest World Series of Poker bracelet winner.
