Chapman Nearly Stacked By Raskin

John Chapman's first level went well today as he worked his short stack up throughout the 90 minutes. But Level 20 hasn't begun so kindly for him, as he just lost nearly all of his chips in a hand versus Micah Raskin.

The hand began with Edward Pham raising to 22,000 from the hijack seat and Raskin calling from the cutoff. Chapman then pushed all in from the button, and it folded around to Pham who folded. Raskin called, however, putting himself all in for 294,000.

Raskin showed {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Chapman {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. The flop was okay for Chapman, coming {3-Spades}{J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. But the {A-Hearts} fell on the turn, and after the {7-Diamonds} river Chapman was down to less than two big blinds.
