Today's guest on CPG is a multiple time WSOP gold bracelet winner who has $2.6 million in live MTT cashes… Eric Froehlich.Eric's journey into the world of poker began with a gateway game you should be very familiar with at this point: Magic: The Gathering. And Efro isn't just good, he's a Magic Hall of Famer who's one of the very best on the planet.Back in 2005 when Eric entered his first world series of poker, we didn't have to wait very long for him to make his mark. As fate would have it, his first ever cash at the WSOP was beating over 1,000 players to take down a $1,500 limit event in 2005 for a cool $300k score.From there he ended up winning another WSOP bracelet as well as becoming a sponsored Full Tilt red pro.But as you're about to learn in my conversation with Eric, however, outer success is always secondary to inner peace.In today's episode with Eric Froehlich, you're going to learn:The amazing story behind Eric's first WSOP bracelet… if you're a bankroll nit you should probably close your eyes.The power of self-healing and growth.The romantical tale of how Eric met his wife.And much, MUCH more!Now, without any further ado, the one and only Eric “Efro” Froehlich.

Eric Froehlich won 2 WSOP Bracelets and is a HOF MTG player with 5 PT Top 8s and 19 GP Top 8s with 2 wins! :)

  The Finisher Begun, the streaming wars have. AppleTV launched earlier this month, Disney+ launched this week, and just a few hours later Netflix and Nickelodeon announced that they’d be jägering together to help fight against the new dogs on the block too. And Magic had their own entertainment debut this week too, albeit much worse than any of the streamer services, with the release of War for the Spark: Forsaken. Now, Magic: The Gathering is a big brand with gravitas and clout. So it’s a good feather in a streaming services’ cap. So tell me: what would you produce using MTG’s vast variety of fabulous characters and storylines to try to compete in the Stream Wars?

On this episode of the Dan Gheesling Podcast, I have an opportunity to interview Eric Froehlich, professional Magic the Gathering and poker player.  He discusses his start playing Magic 20 years ago, his first big poker win, and how the worlds of MTG and professional poker has changed over those 20 years. http://twitch.tv/efropoker http://twitter.com/efropoker http://twitch.tv/dangheesling
