There was some action before it got to Debbie Motycka who moved all in. She was quickly called by Michael Katz who had slightly fewer chips than Motycka.
Motycka turned over 
but had run into the 
of Katz.
The board ran out 
and there would be no jack for Motycka who is now left short with about 20,000 after being the chip leader just a few levels ago.

Dan Smith knocked another player out shortly before the break and his stack just keeps heading skywards. He has just broken through 700,000.
Smith said towards the start of this tournament that he didn’t particularly enjoy playing nine and ten handed table tournaments but he may be changing his mind in this particular one.
He had joked earlier, “I run so bad.” as he knocked another player out.

Debbie Motycka had bet 10,000 on the river of a board reading 
and faced an all-in raise to 60,000.
Motycka studied the flop for a while and with a shrug of her shoulders gave it up. Her opponent to her left had just put his tournament at risk and a smile crept across his lips as he looked back at his cards. He turned over the 
to show all he had was ace high.
There was no reaction from Motycka who has lost a few chips in the last level but is keeping her composure.
