Background
Joey Johannes Frohn is a professional poker player from the Netherlands. While details about his early poker career are limited, he has become a familiar face on the European tournament circuit, competing in both live and online events. His results are primarily concentrated in the 2020s, with appearances at WSOP Circuit stops, King's Resort Rozvadov, and local Dutch tournaments.
Live Tournament Results
Frohn has cashed in several live tournaments, notably in WSOP Circuit events at King's Resort. His best live cash came in September 2023, when he finished 15th out of 1,218 entries in a €550 No-Limit Hold'em Monster Stack, earning €4,700. Earlier that year, he placed 67th in a €250 Mini Main Event for €1,340. In 2022, he cashed multiple times at the same venue, including a 9th-place finish in a €777 Lucky 7's event for €2,102 and 30th-place finishes in two other events for €1,386 each. At the 2022 WSOP Circuit event in Holland Casino, Frohn finished 32nd in a €700 tournament for €2,141, eliminated by Tobias Peters.
In 2025, Frohn was active at King's Resort again, participating in a €700 event where he survived two all-ins to build a stack over 2 million chips, as reported by PokerCity. He eventually busted but demonstrated his resilience. He also advanced in the €300 Mystery Bounty event at The Festival Rozvadov 2024, joining other Dutch players on Day 2.
WSOP Circuit and Online Cashes
According to WSOP.com, Frohn has 37 online cashes and total earnings of $17,947 from online events. His online results include a deep run in the 2025 GGMasters 5th Anniversary, where he placed 34th out of 19,484 entries for $1,662. He also cashed in multiple WSOP Online Super Circuit events, including a 126th-place finish in a €1,500 NLH Main Event (€3,100) and a 127th-place finish in a $150 GGMasters ($790).
Notable Hands and Moments
One of the documented hands comes from September 2025 at King's Resort. Frohn, on the button, limped with a marginal hand and then fired three barrels on a board of A-8-J-7-4, winning a pot over 700,000 chips to push his stack above 2 million. This hand was highlighted by PokerCity as an example of his aggressive play.
In 2022, Frohn was eliminated by Tobias Peters in a €700 event. Frohn moved all-in from the cutoff with pocket threes and was called by Peters with AQ, which flopped an ace. Frohn finished 32nd for €2,141.
Playing Style
Frohn is described in the search results as a player who does not let bad beats affect his mindset, and he is willing to apply pressure with multi-barrel bluffs. While not overly aggressive, he shows a willingness to take calculated risks, as seen in his limp-three-barrel line. He appears comfortable in both deep-stacked and short-stacked situations, and his consistent cashes suggest a solid fundamentals-based approach.
Legacy
With over 40 live and online cashes and total live earnings of approximately $12,821 (plus additional online earnings), Frohn represents the solid, grinding middle class of professional poker. While he has not yet broken through with a major title, his steady performance in European events indicates he will remain a fixture on the circuit.
