The flop came , an airball for both and leaving Froehlich ahead with ace-high. A turn meant Froehlich needed to catch up, and that's exactly what he did when he spiked the on the river. Shulman, who final tabled the main event in 2009, has been eliminated from contention.

Good afternoon, and welcome back to the 44th annual World Series of Poker.
Today, 19 players return for the third and final day of Event #10: $1,500 Limit Hold'em, and the chip leader is two-time bracelet winner Eric Froehlich. E-Fro was the only player to bag more than 300,000 chips after Day 2, and his closest competitors are Mark Mierkalns (266,000), Morgan Newman (242,000), and Aaron Ogus (233,000).
Froehlich is the only bracelet winner returning today, but Queen made the final table of this event last year and has plenty of experience as well.
Jeff Shulman also has tons of experience on the felt. The 2009 November Niner is still looking for his first career bracelet - both of his parents Barry and Allyn Jaffrey have earned one - and he'll need to do a lot of work today as he's only starting the day with a few big bets.
The cards will be in the air at 2 p.m. local time. Be sure to stay tuned for all of your up-to-the-minute live updates straight from the tournament floor.
