Hello Again, Mr. DeMaci
Chris DeMaci scored second place in the 2010 NAPT Los Angeles Main Event for $440,000. DeMaci amassed a ton of chips in that event and we find him back here at The Bike once again for The Big Event Main Event sitting at the top of the board with 146,000 in chips here on Day 1a. Here's how he got that stack.
DeMaci opened from middle position with a raised to 1,050. Thayer Rasmussen reraised to 2,800 from the cutoff. Action folded back to DeMaci and he four-bet to 5,350. Rasmussen didn't back down there. Instead, he five-bet to 9,300. DeMaci moved all in having Rasmussen covered for his last 25,000 or so. Rasmussen made the call.

The flop, turn and river ran out 
to keep DeMaci's kings in front and give him the pot. Rasmussen was eliminated on the hand.
