Raskin Explodes to Give DeMaci a Massive Chip Lead!
Micah Raskin raised and Chris DeMaci reraised preflop. Raskin made the call and the two players sitting number one and number two in chips saw the flop come 
. Raskin was out of position and checked to DeMaci. DeMaci held the chip lead coming into the day and fired out 181,000. Raskin put in a raise to 400,000. DeMaci came back with another raise to 725,000. Raskin quickly called.
The turn brought the 
and Raskin immediately shoved all in. He still has chips in his bag and some others in a pile on the table.
He'd only managed to stack a few of them up before this hand began taking place. DeMaci requested to get an exact count and the tournament staff began assisting in the counting process.
Raskin had so many chips all over the place that it took the assistance of two staff members.
Both of them then verified the count with the dealer before informing DeMaci that the all-in bet was worth 1.366 million! That made the pot worth over three million in chips.
DeMaci couldn't believe this was happening to him. "Is this really happening?" he asked. "This can't be real." He then thought for several minutes while the players at the adjacent tables began hovering closer to the action to see what was going down.
Joe Tehan and Ray Henson were seated at the same table as DeMaci and Raskin. They stepped off to the side and began discussing what they thought was going down. Henson mentioned jacks full while the conversed back and forth. Michael Binger then joined them and actually put Raskin on complete air.
DeMaci kept tanking and began apologizing for a possible nit-roll. The pot was just so large that no one could really blame him for tanking for so long. Eventually, he counted out the exact amount needed to call and then placed them to the right of his stack before counting how much he would have left.
"You'll still have chips left," said Raskin.
A couple minutes more and DeMaci made the call. Raskin tabled the 
for just tens and sixes. DeMaci had the 
for a turned full house. DeMaci had Raskin drawing dead in a massive, massive pot.
The river card completed the board with the 
to officially end things. Raskin looked at DeMaci and asked, "What took you so long?" DeMaci tried to explain that it was just such a big pot and he did only have the third nuts, both aces full and jacks full beat him.
"I didn't think I was folding," DeMaci explained to Jason Mercier who leaned over to check on things after they were completed. "The pot was just so big though and I could still be beat."
Mercier responded, "How's it feel? How's it feel to have three times what second place has?"
DeMaci has right about six million in chips and is now way out in front.
