Frezza Runs into Aces
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Roger Taieb opened the action on the cutoff with a raise to the minimum of 60,000. Pascal Frezza put in the three-bet from the button to 160,000, after which small blind Axel Santoni four-bet his stack all in. Taieb quickly went out of the way, but Frezza put it in the call for about a million chips to put himself at risk.
Pascal Frezza: 
Axel Santoni: 
The board ran out an uneventful 
, and Frezza was eliminated from the tournament. Meanwhile, Santoni is having a great start and has added almost two million chips to his stack in the first level of the day.
