Pezzaniti Busts Foxen in Massive Pot
Only a few minutes ago Alex Foxen had check-shoved the river of an ace-high board into a bet of 7,000 by James Broom and a call by Sung Joo Hyun in the small blind to force a fold to boost his stack to around 140,000. However, that wouldn't last long as the American poker pro was ousted soon after by start-of-the-day chip leader Frank Pezzaniti.
Until the 
turn there were already more than 70,000 into the middle and Pezzaniti bet 70,000 from early position. Foxen was on the button and engaged in table chat. "Why bet so much? Do you want me to fold?" Foxen continued for a minute.
"Do you have the ace of spades and just want to go with it? Ace jack? Is that what it is?
That even got some replies off Pezzaniti before Foxen eventually announcing all in for 115,000. Pezzaniti immediately tossed in a single chip for the call and Foxen asked his opponent if he had a flush.
Alex Foxen: 
Frank Pezzaniti: 
The 
on the river bricked off and that sent Pezzaniti's stack up to a massive 450 big blinds towards the end of the first level on Day 2.
